Default headlight restoration...

hi all. my wife's parents are currently in Italy on a three week vacation so we're babysitting their dog and their 2000 GC. the headlight lenses are really dulled up and i wanted to put 'em back new for them. i saw a post sometime in march (i think) on how to restore the lenses but can't find it anywhere, nor can i remember what it said to do. how would you go about doing this? thanks in advance for any help you can scrounge up!

i used the kit from advance and had a polish sponge for my drill to save on polishing. But if you get some 1000 grit and sand the head lights good then 2500 grit to sand them again then some rubbing compound you can make them look great. Also mequires has a kit out that i want to get i have alwaysed liked there stuff.
