I think wet sanding and polishing with compound is still the best way to restore headlights. I have used plast-x and the one similar to it by blue magic, they work great but never last as long as when i wet sand and buff and wax.

The final step is a sealer. It gives you a new UV protection layer and is also basically a clear coat. Im not sure about spraying a urethane clear, whether it would help harm or just give you a shiny surface.

They look great! That's probably one of the best kits I've seen. I wet sanded my headlight back in April and they still look new. All of the local SC guys were blown away by my "new" headlights. I just did a Supra's headlights yesterday and it came out pretty good. Where did you get that kit at? I've been having people at work ask me about how to clean headlights and I don't want to give them a giant list of stuff to buy.

2000 grit wetsand
3M rubbing compound
Hand buff with pad
Check if more sanding is needed
Reapply 3M rubbing compound
Hand buff again
Apply plastx
Machine buff
Looked like brand new headlights after. Also this process works way better with the headlights out of the car. If you are going to machine buff be very careful on the edges of your lights so that you don't burn through- also depending on the power of your buffer don't stay in one place too long as the plastic burns easily.
