Tried one of those cheap supermarket headlight restoration kits today (small pads of different grit sandpaper, small tubes of polish and "sealant" wax)

For a ten dollar fix it isn't too shabby. Especially good for removing yellowness and fog. For deeper scratches you need to apply more elbow grease though. Good enough.

I think the way to go would be to apply UV-rated spraycan clear-coat, but since the result isn't perfect (there's still a bit of fog near the blinker edge and visible scratching on the bottom part) I'll have a re-do next year. the stuff in the second tube says it needs to be re-applied every 3 months which make me think it's just a liquid wax really.

I used this stuff on my warranty replacement headlights because the first set sun ate them up. Tony above pointed me to this. seems to be amazing stuff.

I didn't need the remover spray since they wren new. Just the sealer, and then ppf install over that.

I did play with the Yellow remover on some old lights, and it's some strong stuff. the yellow washes off, but don't leave it on to long. seems like it can soften plastic if left on long.

Only downfall us the price--of youre only doing your car. You can make dome money on the dide tho. When I had my business I charged $75 per car. It's great stuff.
Make sure you keep that stuff inside the house when you're not going to use it.

honestly my headlights were like 900$. so 100$ to make them last is fine. plus I have other cars all use it on at some point
