Default How to keep "new" headlamps in new shape?

As title states, I ended buying a new passenger side headlight, I have to tell you that they make a huge difference, the cut-out is supper sharp compared to my driver-side. This is an AP1 by the way, heard it was one of the best/sharpest cut-out production projectors.

Anyhow, anyone have an idea on what I can do to keep the longevity of the headlamp looking fresh and pit-free? 3M clear bra? Anyone tried Plasti-Dip Clear? Or any other recommendations that you may have heard people have done, tried, word of mouth? Please share!

3M clear bra is your best bet. The sooner you do it the better.

Thanks man, that's all i needed to hear. I haven't driven the car yet since I am still waiting for my front bumper/lip being finished painted from Honda.

Go with the Xpel brand. It's a bit thicker and UV protectant

Ok, will look into that. It's not just the headlight, But also the front bumper and lip, it's being professionally thoroughly redone, with the bumper being mudded and sanded down. and with 6-8 layers of coat of paint to have it chip-proof. I want my car looking show-room as possible so clear bra is definitely a priority.
