We used a 3M Headlight Restoration kit.It comes with 3 different grits of sanding discs, and a final polishing wheel and polishing paste. The kit is very conveniently designed for use with a household electric drill, as long as it can spin up to at least 1200 RPM. Ours only spins to 1100 RPM, but it worked perfectly anyway.

Compact lights are different from all other E36's, so you have lights installed Brocky probably not in shape. Compact Lights are a series of pins or wires. 3M headlight restoration kit too.
