I spent about 15-20 minutes on each piece... basically 1.5 - 2 hours, including the time it takes to break for about 5 minutes to rest your hands and what have you. The side corners didn't really need it, they never seem to actually... but to make sure it all looked right across the board I did them all.
Basically you wash the pieces first to rid any dirt/debris.
The kit comes with lubricant so you don't have to worry about running water over it constantly just spray the 3 pads you'll use and the lens every so often to keep them wet.
No drill is or buffer is required for this kit just your hands and spare time. After you go through the process of sanding using the 3 different squares included, both sides work... you put on the restoring compound (basically the buffing part to bring out the shine) and then the sealer in hopes to keep it that way for a long time to come. Basically 90 degree angles left and right for pad 1 for roughly 3-4 mins, up and down for about 5 minutes on pad 2 and another 4-5 minutes with pad 3. Wipe it clean, pour on the restore compound on your cloth and whirl in circles several times until it clears up into a nice, glossy shine.
Comes with cloth microfiber towel job also so everything you need is in the kit minus a pair of gloves and some other towels in general for your work area or to rinse the lens off completely after you are done, just before the sealer. Cost me $16.99, very well worth it.... I'm sure I can do another set if I just buy the lubricant bottle (as I'm about 20% left after doing them all) and still use the same pads with plenty of sealer left over and the restoring compound itself I still have half left, if not more.
Not sure about the longevity of clearness but since I'm doing the super light tinting over them, it'll completely seal it off anyways and will protect it from becoming a problem again anytime in the near future. I wish I would have done this a long time ago, it's far easier than I thought. Always afraid I'm going to screw something up to no return but in this case it came out ace and I couldn't be happier for spending less than $20!
