Headlight restoration by hand?

Seen plenty of threads on here about doing them with a machine polisher
Would i be wasting my time trying to do it all by hand?
Was thinking of working through the wet and dry grades (upto 3 or 5000) then using something like meguiars ultimate compound on a microfibre cloth to bring back the shine
I understand that it will take longer but i don't really want to get one of the drilled kits or a machine polisher just yet
Thoughts would be appreciated

Not a bad idea. I have spent a lot of time finding good original headlights for my GTI. It was very difficult to find something really worthy, and ordering was very expensive for me. I decided to try redesigning and improving my old headlights myself. I have a powerful bike flashlight that shines great in the dark and is comfortable to use I decided to disassemble it in order to understand what kind of bulbs are used there and according to this technology to improve car headlights. I've been looking for advice on the forums for several days now. Maybe some of you can give me some advice?
