I have polished my headlights few times and sometimes I put wax or sealant on them, nothing more and they are as clear as ever.

Ya that's what I do currently till I find a better long lasting result vs always re polishing.

Yes keep the darn headlights out of direct sun atleast facing away from the sun when parked. I believe 303 Aerospace has great UV protection and I've heard good things about them and been thinking of giving it a try.

I have found this kit that actually supplies an Clear coat protection spray after you polish your headlights and UV protection, but have not give it a try. If you end up trying it anyone please give inputs on this product it's called Headlight restore Doctor.
