I'm in the middle of doing this....
Decided to stop for a quick minute to upload these photos and show you guys.
Using a 3M Headlight Restoration Kit...     
Also made a timelapse and video of the whole thing lol but thats still in the works.
The photos are all from my shitty iPhone 3GS so don't expect awesome stuff but you can see a slight difference from before...  
I Still want new retrofits.
You guys think I should apply some MeGuiars Plast-X to finish it off? I don't have Lamin-X or any type of clear coat available.
Back to work. Gotta finish the other side.

Using a 3M Headlight Restoration Kit... | I would just finish it off with a sealant...if you don't have it try some Collinite 845. Good cheap sealant that'll last you. Another thing is you didn't have to tape off the paint. Assuming you did this by hand, the product doesn't actually harm the paint at all. Quote:
