OK, here's another AeroDynic dome restoration.
I did the following steps, a bit different from my previous ones but I think the results are better:
1- Left overs from the "3M headlight kit": P500 followed by P800 grits pads on a hand drill.
2- Wetsanding by hand with 1000, 1500, and 2000 grits sandpaper.
3 Using this kit:
Micro-Mesh Finishing Kit
which contains 6 grits: 2400, 3200, 4000, 6000, 8000, and 12,000 followed by the provided finishing compound.
Finally, I yet have to use some Meguiare's Plast-X and a powerball to finish the buffing.
Here's the results on one side. Yet to complete the other side:

I completed the polishing using mother's Plast-X and a power-ball. I finished it with turtle wax platinum wax, to shine it a little bit more.
