if you don’t clearcoat them with paint after you polish them, as zeroptzero suggests, put 303 on them every couple of months.
its the UV rays of the sun thats causing them to haze over and 303 has a UV protectant in it which helps keep them clear.
I use 303 on all my cars headlights (and tailights) and it not only keeps them clear, it helps keep road grime from sticking.

303 is great stuff. It has many uses. Years ago I read a fact sheet that game with a jug of 303. There were many suggested uses, including protection of alloy wheels. I started regularly applying 303 to the original 16" alloys on my car, along with the tires. Occasionally I applied Collinite Super Double Coat wax to my wheels, and the rest of the time kept them like new with just 303. Brake dust is a not an issue and my wheels look brand new.

Ammo NYC did a great video about the different methods and how to properly do it.
I would recommend doing Xpell or the spray clear coat with the headlights out of the vehicle.

I have found on my other cars (Only my S2000 has Expel film) that the lens will begin to cloud up again after 6 monts or so. I do a quick shot with my DA and a drop or two of 3M glass polisher will bring them up to par in about 30 seconds. I don’t even have to tape around; just be careful as the Chemical Guys Hex sponge does not go onto the painted surfaces.

I was really wondering if @larrydavid ended up using the Clear Gloss spray as he referenced in the Chris Fix video as a permanent fix solution. I have not seen this suggestion on the forums yet, all of them are temporary.
I'd like to know if anyone has done this specific one and how it's holding up 1, 2, 3 + years later?
