I use the Meguiar's kit, but I start by wet sanding with a DA sander to 3000 grit. The kit comes with the UV protectant spray. Works great and lasts a long time.

All the new aftermarket headlights I've seen are shit quality and often have a poor beam spread. Fixing OE headlights is a better option.

For a newer car, PPF is the answer for poly lenses. I peeled the film off of our Highlander when we sold it. 12 years/180k miles later the lenses still looked brand new

Stumbled on this stuff, watched the first one. His technique looks good.

Headlight restoration pro shows his work: POLISHING HEADLIGHTS IS A SHAM/scam --- and why you should never only polish headlights - 19 minutes

I just buffed them out with my buffer and some polishing compound. Then apply wax or ceramic coating. Lasted longer than my relationship on my girlfriends jeep.
