I'm no expert but I had my local Jiffy Lube polish my old 2008 retired (won at auction) Police Crown Vic headlights and I was impressed! I noticed that shop used "True BRAND" headlight restoration kit. After researching that brand I understand True Brand is a woman owned company in Florida that supplies shops / car dealerships wholesale care care / car service products including Jiffy Lube and dealerships like you have...
I was able to find a few true Brand headlight kits ( the same ones my local Jiffy Lube used) on eBay at $10 each! I did my old car and a few friends and family members car and trucks as I was a hero! Was super easy to do and worked well!
You may want to contact that Company as I was impressed with the product and may be a good source for upsell products, headlight polish kits to fuel injection products to oil treatments etc. You know dealership money making stuff!
I noticed that company makes its own USA made PTFE Engine Treatment! Yes a PTFE in 2025!
I have some before and after headlight pics attached that I did with those $10 True Brand Kits, I wonder what the $ would be in bulk direct wholesale but even me just buying a few of eBay for $10 a kit, I was impressed.
SEE ATTACHED Pics of my results... look how bad that truck was! I was impressed and didn't expect that! And I can report it continued looking as good as the day I did the polish about 3-4 years ago util the truck was sold last month.

Wow!!
The problem is the fade comes back because the factory UV protection has been stripped away. The stuff that comes with the kits is short lived. Ceramics last longer, but I saw a video where the guy clear coated them. Probably a much more long term solution.

As far as fade? That truck in above photo I did in 2022, truck was sold a few months ago but up until we sold it the headlights looked as good as the day I did it 3 years ago.
That eBay $10 True Brand kit included a small aerosol can of spray top coat...
I was impressed as I think it would have gone 3 more years but if it didn't a 2nd kit was only $10 so one could always polish again but based my 3 years with the truck I seen zero sign of fade or being short lived and I live in the Sunny South at the Beach and the Truck is outside 24/7 in direct sunlight...
Personally. I think headlights should be made out of glass ( as my 1995 Volvo was, was made by HELLA ) as plastic will always get sandblasted and IMO plastic headlight should be illegal but the EPA is the reason ALL headlights are NOW plastic as that tiny bit of weight savings is what Big Brother requires...
