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!

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.
