Can I polish headlights with what I have on hand?

I realize this is discussed often, but in my searching I didn't see anything pertaining to the actual products that I have on hand. Both of my cars' headlights could use some touch-up. Even though one is a 2002, and the other a 2005, neither is very bad. Not yellowed, and still transparent. Just showing the accumulation of little pitting/hazing from grit and bugs over the years.

I would like to know if I can use my PC, M105/M205, and LC pads to accomplish this. And if so, suggested product/pad combos and order of process. And would my PB's EX be sufficient, or is a more permanent plastic protected or even the urethane/mineral oil method required? I'm hoping to get the lights looking new again without spending money, if possible.
 
m105 on 4" orange pad, you can put anything on afterward,I prefer optiseal or pb wheel sealant

No need to finish off with M205 or a different pad?

I don't know what Optiseal is, but I do have some PB wheel sealant (as long as I haven't eaten it... that stuff smells yummy!). No worries of the sealant wearing off too quickly? I don't want to have to polish the headlights every 6 months.
 
I would finish off with a less aggressive polish just from past personal experiences. I don't see why you couldn't use wheel sealant for protection.
 
This is a bit off topic but I have to ask....Jared, Where did you get that picture in your signature? I laugh everytime I look.....:lmfao
