Good work. You couldn't get those results easily with a PC.
Just be sure to put on a good coat of wax, when you sand down headlights like that, there is a clear on them just like paint. And when you sand down that aggressively, it reduces how long the finish will stay clear, and will oxidize sooner the second time around. I usually stick to polishing for this reason--but every so often you have to wet sand.
But again, be sure to put on a coat of wax to extend the life of the hard work put in! Looks great!
