Glass head light restore

[KitsonRis]

Not quite a Clio but has anyone restored glass head lights? The ones on my E34 are a little dull and new ones are rare and expensive so was going to polish them up. Before I possibly waste my money on some smaller heads for my DA polisher is there anything better? Something like the 3M kit I’ve used several times on Clio headlights. Was just going to use the polisher to buff them back up. Currently doing it by hand but sure it could be better.

I think the kits are meant for plastic headlamps only. I know you can get abrasive polish for glass but can't remember what it's called?. Try asking in the detailing thread too.

Just remove them and machine them?

This is what I was going to do, but didn’t know if there was a specific glass kit.
