headlight care?

What sort of plastic coatings or treatments are fit owners using to protect the extremely large headlight modules on the fit? I certainly don't want them to cloud or scratch!

I use PlastiX from Megs. Works wonders! As my Fit has been 3 yrs old, the headlights seemed dull. After one treatment, it looked like brand new again.

But I assure you that a lot of passion was put behind the pad to get it looking new!

I claybar them each time I wash the car. After 16,000 km they still look like new.

my headlights and foglights are wrapped in that 3m clear protectant film thing. that protects them from scratches, but i dunno if it's gonna prevent yellowing/hazing.

I was wondering if people were putting waxes or polymers like zaino on the headlight modules. I wondered if 303 protectant might work.
