It's been one and a half years since my headlight restoration with the 3M kit and here is how they stand now.

Overall still in good shape, there is some yellowing but very, very slight. Car parks outside.
I've continued using two coats of Carnuba after most every wash.

Might hit it again at the two year mark and they should clean up crystal clear easily. Have to say very happy with the 3M clear-coat wipes. The key is to get the sanding done right.


I also wax the MINI and the F10 lights after washing - although these cars have the original clear on them and so far holding up ok in the sun. The MINI and the E82 are about the same age although the MINI was garaged first 10 years of its life.
