if you look at my cheesy HOW TO, i used 3M swirl remover, i tried 3M rubbing compond, but its too harsh, and was real tough to get all the lil scratches out, the 3M swirl remover works great, leave no scratches.

I would image 3M hand glaze, or polishing compond would work. but swirl remover is the finest grit you can get.

Default 3M Swirl Remover

I will try and source that product, but so far have had no luck. I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada... Anyone know of a place where I could get that?

How exactly does the 3M compound work? Does it fill the scratches? Or....

Oh! Also, is the 3M Swirl Remover a autocare product? Or is it found in the hardware section? And is it for metal or plastic or both?

Thanks!

So polishing the headlight is only polishing the outer glass lens?

Din, at first, I suggest to polish only outer lens.
If you not satify with the result, then go for inner lens as well.

Well I know that the inside of my headlight is dirty.
