Headlight restoration kits that only sands and polish will typically last about 1 year or so before it starts to oxidise again.
Ppf or ceramic coat or UV coat it.

I'm sure it depends on the plastic used, how clean you got it, and how much direct sun it gets. But for a typical car left in the sun, you'd be damn lucky to get a year out of it imo. As stated earlier, my original attempt clouded over in way (way) less time than that.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Agreed. At a minimum it is worth while to at least shoot some cheap rattle can clear over restored headlights. Even that won't protect the lenses forever.
Most rattle can clears are not UV capable and will just end up fading, cracking or peeling.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.
Then you bought a 2k clear which is a proper clear for that purpose.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
The stuff you buy at your "Canadian Tire" is not.
