Do you have a trick to prevent the head lights from becoming cloudy again I cleaned mines about a month ago and they are cloudy again.

i guess just keep cleaning it. And id heard some people wax them. Just dont let a paint shop spray clear coat on them. That looks good for a while, then looks worse in a year or so.

i dont know any tricks to keep plastic from oxidizing. to keep metal from oxidizing we use paint. well, we cant paint over our headlights. and atlblue is right. clearcoat will look good for a while but then you might as well buy new headlights over time.

I have done a few and they never got cloudy again but I sand them with various grits then use an aircraft grade polish lol.

yea that's the key... when you wet sand a car you dont stop there... you then have to polish, and wax to protect... if you just wet sand a car and then stop there it looks like **** right away.. My advice would to be clear coat then protect the clear coat... not just forget about it
