Headlight Resoration

[blob]

I do headlights at work all the time, as it is an inspection requirement here in Maine.

The usual process is:
1000 (if necessary)
1500
2000
Meg's #85 with an Edge Green 6"
3M Plastic Polish with an Edge Blue 6"
DG 601 +105

Today on a 1996 Subaru I tried:
1000
1500
2000
Menz IP with a Yellow 3" pad
3M Plastic Polish with a Blue 3" pad
DG 601 +105

The IP worked great, couldn't see much of a difference between that and the Meg's #85 on the plastic

What is the condition of the headlights after IP? Just curious what the 3M Polish does? Remove marring? Do you think the 3m product could be replaced by Menzerna Nano with a grey pad?
