Why not just polish and then cover with lamin x?

I didnt have a great experience with this product, It worked fairly well and made them look crystal clear, but it only lasted about 2 months, maybe. Im not sure if climate and such has a huge effect on how long it stays satisfactory, but i was not very impressed.

Just bought a product from 3M Headlight restoration system, $15 on Amazon. Haven't tried it yet but it has very good reviews. Comes with the buffing pads, drill attachment and polishing cream
