Which would be the better choice? The spray on stuff or the film?

Spray on for sure. You can make your headlights look like new.

What I use to protect my headlights is the Dupli-Color Headlight Restoration Kit.

You will need to get sand paper and polish. You will use a more coarse grit to get the current damage removed and move to less coarse grit in increments ending with a 3000 grit.

Then use some Mother's Mag & Aluminum Polish to polish the headlights to a perfect clarity. You can do this by hand or get a polishing pad that attaches to a drill and it will shine up quick and crystal clear.

Mothers® Mag & Aluminum Polish

Then clean the headlights off with a IPA solution to remove any product or contaminants to have a clean surface for the UV protection to stick to.

The Dupli-Color spray protection is very forgiving. You would have to try really hard to screw it up. Here is a video about the kit. You can see how easy the spray protection is to put on. Pull your lights out, much easier that way.

Looks like my weekend is going to be a busy one then.
