Headlight protectant
I guess the alternative is to purchase just the clear plastic cover. Anyone know if anyone makes/sells just the clear plastic cover?

I like the 3M lens restoration system. I think the last step with the polish coats the lens with a protectant.
Good Luck!

Bulk, no clear covers sold any where, especially for facelift headlights since you can't take them apart.
IIRC, 3M does not have any coating. I used it on my E39. It worked great with the drill attachment. You can use Lami-X to cover them, but it's a film. Sylvania kit includes a protective spray which might be what you're looking for. Before After

For cleaning up hazed headlights I like to use the CCP Restoration Kit found HERE. Once you have the lights looking great again you can use a quality wax to add a touch of protection. Or even though you don't like the idea of covers, Lamin-x makes clear protective covers which apply over the lights, they are almost invisible once installed. On my car I used the 12x12 Clear sheets (found HERE) and had great success.

I have these installed for the last 7 years...excellent product with no yellowing. Slight pitting at this point so I'm thinking of replacing them but will first try to polish them.
