After giving headlights a good polish and getting them to look good, should they be coated in some sort of UV sealant?
If so, what?

Some say to clearcoat them but others say it can damage the headlights so I used Chemical Guys Jetseal as I had some and it seems to be working fine . You can also use a carnuba wax the same as you would on your paint . If you wax/seal the headlights the same time as you do the rest of the car you should be fine . So many sealant products on the market now I`m sure most would do a decent job it`s just remembering to do them

Clear spray paint for me, marketed as UV resistant. Was too lazy to keep applying sealant in the end.
I did a comprehensive refurb thread a while back.

After polishing I laquered with some Spraymax 2K clearcoat which has a separate hardener component. No detrimental effects whatsoever and almost a year on and they're still looking tip top.
