I bought a kit from Harbor Freight for $14.95 and I used a 20% off coupon which made it even less and it did a great job but it's only good for 2 headlights. I only needed to do the left side because the body shop just replaced the right ones (I hit a pickup truck). This kit requires a 1200 RPM drill (I used my cordless 1100 RPM drill) and I really had what appeared to be hard water stains on the lower half of the lenses. I had previously hand sanded with 400 grit wet/dry sandpaper to no avail. It really needed the 1100 RPMS to do the job. I can reuse the kit by cutting new discs and gluing them on and I believe I can use the lens cleaner I bought previously for the final polishing with this kit. I am very happy now.
