I had the wool buff pad and Headlight Coating leftover from previous efforts, and bought more PlastX. For the rest, I improvised.
I masked off the paint with blue tape - you can see the residue in the (blurry) close-up shots.
Lightly wet-sanded with 400, 600, 800, 1200, 1500, 2000, 2500 and 3000. Followed by Meg's 105 on an orange pad, 205 on white, Flitz on white, Meg's Ultimate Polish on black, and finally the PlastX on the wool buff. Most buffed out with microfiber, but used a terry cloth followed by MF for the final step.
Then cleaned off residue with Invisible Glass before spraying on the coating and allowing it to cure overnight.

I'll be really happy if I get another 7 years out of it!
