First I've ever heard of this type of product being used on plastic headlight covers? Maybe you can get the detailer to share the specific product they're using?

If you figure it out successfully or even unsuccessfully, updated this thread.

Im almost certain it was one of the miniwax line products. If I figure it out, I will be sure to update.

my logic behind it is:
If you sand it, you're taking off a film of UV protection (That failed no less). The results from that failure are the oxidized lights. I dont want it to recur or at least I'd like to prolong it as much as possible. I feel a clear coat will do that. A tinted one will too, but I want clear

found it! Minwax polyurethane High Gloss. Next set of lights I do, Ill apply it and see how it works out.

Here @ Straight Line Detailing we do many many Head light reconditioning/Resurfacing. Prob. 30+ a month

We have been using many different clear coats after all the sanding and polishing has been done. Tryed spray on UV cured w/ UV light and some wipe on clears I'm not 100% happy with any of them. I will take some pics of the stuff I have been using. We charge $50.00 a set on most for dealers
