No clearcoat?

UV rays will destroy that unless you keep fresh wax on it 24/7

Looks good, installed
 
Nice work you should apply the minwax mixture while there still nice and clean.
 
Looks very good Rollin. I did mine and I didnt do them very well. I will be re-doing them before STL in June
 
I did mine with the Sylvania Headlight Restoration kit (400/1000/2000 grit wet sanding followed by UV sealant). It took about 1:45. They look great, except for a tiny streak I put in the sealant on the driver's side - you can only see it up very close. I can't testify on durability since I did it less than two weeks ago.
