so i was inspired by Dave's headlight lens overhaul and decided to pick up a restoration kit while getting new headlight bulbs at the local advanced auto. i'm tired of the lights looking like crap and it probably doesn't help the meager light output to begin with.
for comparison sake i got the 3M kit which is similar in that it's supposed to be used with a regular household low-rpm drill. it has less liquid compound than the Mother's kit but i liked that it had a wide variety of sanding discs and a robust foam compound disc. it is priced the same at about $18. i bought an extra little bottle of lens cleaner to use on the compound disc for later use.
