Excellent DYI and good result. But if you buy all the required sand paper and other stuff needed to do it, it will cost more than an all-in-one kit to "renew" the lens. And it will take much less time with the all-in-one kit because a cordless drill is used. The all-in-one kit also comes with masking tape so you will not damage the lens' surrounding.
$20 kit here, if you don't have a cordless drill then don't look.
There are many options out there, and kits are very economical because they provide you everything you need -- some just do it a little differently than others.
A few words of wisdom:
Don't sand unless you need to -- if you have crust, you will need to sand; if you have light yellowing, try polishing first.
If you do sand, don't start with the coarse sandpaper -- only use it if you have to, and sand lightly and with purpose, increasing the time by double as you progress with a finer-grade of sandpaper.
Polish frequently to maintain crystal clarity.
