Default Do the Toyota Camry headlight polishers actually work well?

Blue Magic (restorer/sealer) versus something from "3M"...

While the net contains anything you want it to contain, it's worth reading
this article of a guy who used the blue magic "restorer" solution.
http://productreviewratings.com/2009...ight-restorer/
"Based on my own results, I cannot recommend blue magic as a way
to completely restore fogged or scratched headlights. Everyone˘s
headlights are different, so I cannot say for sure that the product
won˘t work for some people. However, based on the time I spent with
and without a polishing drill, and comparing the results to the turtle
wax, this product was not worth the $7 bucks it cost me."
He concludes:
"The 3M Headlight Lens Restoration System requires a little extra
elbow grease and cash, but it is the only way you can be sure to
get those headlights looking clean and brand spanking new again!"

Looking up the 3M product...

There seem to be 9 different 3M "kits" according to the 3M site:

The MSDS is a multi-part MSDS due to the multiple components in the kit.
