I have my doubts about glass polishing with the compound for plastic lenses.

Leroy, I didn't buy a kit, just the polishing compound.

I watched a video on plastic headlight lens polishing and proceeded from there. I first tried the compound alone and quickly realized that wouldn't do the job alone, so I did use sandpaper of 2000 grit---after ones of coarser grit.

I think you will need to use more than the polishing compound if your lenses are pitted and clouded very badly.

You might get by with the compound only if you use power tools, I did all of the work by hand rubbing.

Before and after photos but want to say it was very windy so I spent little time instead of doing a thorough job. I thought I had a composite photo showing the two side by side but don't.
