This is the stuff I use.

So some research suggests dont bother spraying clear,either a hand wipe like @Tonyrodz says or just keep adding wax and re sand again every year.

I did start at 220 dry grit in one spot to see if I could make perfect,took a lot of 320 dry and 400 wet to remove scratches but I was able to make it look good.

What did your research find out about spraying clear on the headlights? Turns yellow quick?

Possible crackling also like a spider web.Also that re sanding in the future would be very difficult.

Makes sense. When I did headlight restoration for my business I'd give a 1 yr warranty against yellowing or clouding--never got a complaint, and I did it for 9 yrs.

No. I fly fish and all my flies I tie have a tungsten bead on them so they sink faster. Cheers

Finished sanding and got some primer on. Still need a little spot putty but not too bad. Think I’ll move to the other side. Haven’t had time to make it to the paint shop to try and match better. Dam work gets in the way.
