I think it may not be possbile. But how can I remove the tiny stone chips on the headlights? The roads I use had road resurfacing recently, and caused a few chips on the glass (after just 1,200 miles ). :(

you dont need s special scratch removal kit. Just some wet and dry sandpaper, an aggressive polish such as t-cut, and a more gentle finishing polish. How aggressive you start off depends on how deep the stonechips/scratches are. Possibly start off with 1000 grit used wet, and work your way down the grades until you finish with 3000 grit used wet and soaked in water with washing up liquid (acts as a lubricant). After this go over them with t-cut, and finish off with something like Sonus SFX-1 restore polish. Although this isnt traditionally a finishing polish if you work it thoroughly it will break down well enough to be perfectly acceptable.
I used this method on one of my badly scratched headlights and it now looks like new.
