Default JDM Headlights yellowing.....

I just purchased some JDM headlights with slight yellowing at the top of the lights. Couldn't pass on the price. However the rest of the lights are in perfect condition. I searched and was reading posts where people restored their headlights with wetsanding and polishing, so that's what I'm going to do. However I would like to RE-SEAL the light with a protective UV clear coat. Does anybody know of a good brand to use? I have a compressor and paint gun so it's not going to be a "rattle-can" job.........here are a couple pics of the lights.

There have been many topics on this in the past. One which was covered in great detail. Wetsand with 400 or higher grit paper then use rubbing compound, it will come out looking like new.

Please RE-read my original post, I was asking if anyone knew of a good brand of UV protective clear coat to use?
