Apply a light amount of a light glaze with an applicator and hit it once....wipe it down and check the progress. Should only take you 2 minutes per side and 5 clean up.

Trick...Apply the small amount of glaze more towards the center of the lense to keep the machine from pushing it into the gap between the paint and the lense...Makes for better end result.

Also, if the Random just isn't getting it done well enough for you, stop at a local detailer and ask if $10.00 would get a quick shot with a variable on the lense with a foam pad. Just talk like you know what your doing...would only take the guy 2 minutes tops.

Good luck and let me know how you made out....
Thanks Skyboi,I'll give it a try
