    NO, STOP! You can get a small backing plate for a drill, a small pad, and a small bottle of compound to shine the plastic after you wet sand it with 2000 grit.

    NO STOP STOP lol you can get a 3M kit that contains everything you need to restore your headlights with the exception of a drill. Also a MF wax applicator and wolfgang uber compound works surprisingly well done by hand.

    +1 for 3M kit if your not happy with results then weigh cost/skill factors to determine pro fix or oem install.

    It won't be perfect, but you can clear up a lot of oxidation with just a hand application of Meguiars ultimate compound.

    Edit: it wont do squat for scratches.
