I buffed the headlights with the 3M buffing compound that came with the kit, but did not feel it was enough so I found some Turtle buffing compound in my garage and went over the headlights again. Than I waxed them with some Mother's wax.

If you feel like being adventurous use several buffing compounds working up and then use a wax to seal it up well. This has worked really well for me.
Rain, snow, the beating sun, I'm still shining like showroom, you're the only one I've heard it didn't work for, I hand sanded everything with 800-2000 grit, then used the polishing compound and sealer, the sealer is the most important in any headlight restoration...
