So I just did my retros and I dont want them to haze what can I do/use to keep my headlights from hazing? I know of a new 3m clear bra spray... I know its for the paint but would it protect the headlights too? Or what else can I use? Thanks!
 
Keep em' clean. Don't use abrasive cleaners or compounds on them. They have a factory UV resistant coating on them. When that starts to get worn off is when you will start to get the fading. There are lots of "restoration" kits out there but none of them are as good as the factory stuff.

Use whatever car wax/sealant you would normally use on the paint and you should be good for a long time. If you really want to coat them with something durable and permanent Optimum just released a lens specific coating. I've not had a chance to test it myself but I'm sure you could find some other online reviews and judge for yourself. Application and use of Optimum products is for the most part very user friendly. This is pro level stuff so follow the instructions. Use the correct applicator and a good MF towel to buff. Make sure the lens is clean before you start.

Also there are lamin-X vinyl films you can get that are precut. If you feel better about applying vinyl or have some experience it may be an easier option for you. They vinyl is also removeable and replaceable if it gets damaged.
