How I maintain my headlights

I used a drill and.

Four inch cutting pad with v34
Four inch polishing pad with m205.

Good combo IMHO

What do you use to protect it from yellowing? The more you polish them, the more you are removing the factory UV protection.

All I've ever done to them was what you saw in the video except for my sealant and wax.
I never had a problem and the truck is 17 years old.
Normally I won't compound but it was time because they were turning cloudy but not yellow, most of the time I just polish, seal and wax.

If you continue to do what you've been doing, it will work. However, if you use something like Opti Lens, you will never have to deal with your headlights again.

Thanks for the tip , I'll give it a try.
I kind of like polishing my headlights, I'm always amazed how well they come out.
