Just used the 3M restoration kit on my absolutely shagged headlights.

Can anyone recommend a sealant to use now that it's done? I believe if I just leave it there's a good chance they'll turn yellow or some such.

I've got Collinite 915 and 845- although I'm sure I read somewhere that the 845 (liquid wax) contains more of *something* that shouldn't be used on plastics.

That Jetseal looks decent. Opti-coat and Opti-lens seem to be the business too although rather expensive.

Is it bad that I have never seen 'IYDMMA' before but instantly knew what it was? biggrin

Not a quick job- and my knees were agony, easy enough though and a night and day difference. Not 100% but infinitely better. If you had the patience/inclination you could get it to practicality 100%. Having the headlights out the car would allow that.
