3000 grit is pretty smooth. I can say that I've even seen it before. What is it, construction paper? :D
Here is my order for headlights:
1. 800 grit
2. 1000 grit
3. 1500 grit
4. Polishing compound
5. Light polishing compound (clearcoat safe)
6. Wax

 
can you give me more detailed instructions? like how long to sand with each grit, how hard to push? i just dont feel too comfortable for some reason using 800 grit on the lights. i AM going to see them scratch up from that right? but then i take it the finer ones with smooth it out......? :confused:

any brand name or what they contain? it just seems a little vague "polishing kit" or is it pretty universal? or are there specific "headlight polishing kits"? lol

Looks pretty similar to mine.  Probably just the newer model.  I think the color scheme works great in these cars and the sound is great too.
