This is what I used a few times and does it a treat! The downside is the price tag but its worth the cent.

Next thing - How do we prevent from going back how it was before? Do we spray a coat of clear paint or sealer etc?

I've noticed that after you polish it it goes back quicker - lot quicker than what it would be since new - that I am suspicious while you're polishing it we've taken away a film off the headlight?

Cheers

Yeah there is a UV protecting film which you will have scrubbed away, leaving the plastic even more vulnerable to discolouration than before. You need to apply something afterwards. Normally the proper headlight rejuv kits come with something, or you can buy some of that clear film to put over (Hamish does that)
