Weasel will become famous soon enough
What I did is sand with a pneumatic orbital sander with 600, 1000, 1500, 2000 grit papers to get down past the funky stuff to fresh plastic, then polished to perfect finish, then had them sprayed with an automotive clear at a body shop. (of course as you can see I also had a black candy sprayed on top of that for the smoked look) But I saw them after sprayed with just the clear, looked as clear as brand new!

Even though this is a bit more expensive then the DIY I would think it would last a looong time before fading again, and costs tons less than the new headlight assemblies. (then you can also polish and wax them with the regular paint for upkeep as well)

You think professional is expensive, just wait until you pay for amateur.

Never let your sense of morals prevent you from doing what is right.
