OK - just finished using a 3M kit from a local store (sorry Jack), as it was on sale. Being an average joe (far from a pro), I was surprised at how well this did the job. I have read other guys (David F, Dave, Todd, etc) do this with outstanding results. What really got me was the starting grit is 500.. yes, 500. Step thru 800, Trizac 3000 and then polish off with the supplied orange 3" waffle pad and plastic polish (I used M205 since it was on hand)

Sorry, no pics as I just tried to keep it short and sweet due to our 100-degree heat.

Oh, and for those wondering how bad it was, 10yo lens that was abused in northeastern winters with ice and rock salt.
