No. But the mechanic strongly advised me to apply one of the film UV protectors or I’d be back soon

For those interested…
They removed the worst of the degraded plastic using a series of different grit sanding/polishing disks on a 3”-ish pneumatic grinder/buffer. At that point they looked pretty good but were still a little “foggy”. Then they wiped on two coats of a “sealer” on a toilette from a small sealed pouch, letting them dry 10-15 min before the 2nd coat. It was amazing to see the headlight go from foggy to clear as the first coat of the sealer went on.
