Sorting headlights.

They were getting a bit on the cloudy side, so I buffed them out with polishing paste and then gave them a top coat.

I used Etech Restored Headlight Protect.  It has very good reviews.

The result speaks for itself.

Would love to do something like that. Don't trust myself to not stuff it up.

Very nice 
Think you just gave me a motivation to finally do it with the spare set I have for a while.
How many layers of clear coat?

If I can do it then you can do it @Ardent - Foxy's came up a treat.

You have to properly restore the headlights before you use the top coat.  Mine were sanded back a couple of years ago, so they came up well with the buffer and Meguiar's paste.

Meguiar's do a kit with all the tools and abrasives. Get them as good as you can before coating them.

For anyone that hasn't read any more than this thread, - it doesn't always work.  They can have crazing that 'disappears' as soon as an abrasive is used, & only becomes visible again as you nearly get 'finished', & discover you're not.....very frustrating.  Or they can be discoloured on the inside.

But if you don't try, you don't know.
