In theory, UV-protective sealant on the lights after the polish is what you need to do to stop them clouding again.

I bought a cheapy Chinese kit off eBay with such a product included, it seems to work. It could however have been a sachet of condiment for all I know...

If the sachet liquid was a brown colour it was probably fish sauce - LOL!!!!

I used, 800, then 1500, then 2000, with lashings of water, then a polish with g3, finished with super resin polish..

If you haven't got G3, Autosol metal polish works well.

that's how I do them, but start with 1000grit. 10 minutes per lamp, on the car, good for at least four years. I think baked on dirt is the main problem as the N/S lamp is always worst, so keeping them clean is important.

Definitely not in my experience, once you've sanded them down you'd be lucky to see 18 months before they are yellowing again as you've sanded some of the UV protection out of the lense. I have had success with Xpel protection film though, have two cars with this on and the headlights have stayed crystal clear for over two years. One film does now have a blister in it after a motorway speed pebble hit it but otherwise good. You can at least peel the film off and replace in the future.
