A good finishing compound like £m headlight poish and protect will leave some protection in the fine surface, but a sprayed on clear coat alowed to go very hard before fitting may be the best long term protection...

i am experimenting with that now...
Peter, let us know how you get on with this. My Xenon's are not going yellow, but the top protective layer is definitely peeling-off in places. I was considering cleaning the entire coat off using a 3M kit and then spraying with a coat of 2-pack clear-coat. But I am not sure how well this will resist the temperature of the main beams which are much hotter than the dipped Xenon beams.
