When I did ours on the old CMax I use one of the headlight restoration kits off evilbay and didn’t clearcote them. I just used the finest polish on them every time a washed the car (couple of times a year) it took about 2 minutes a side and they always looked like new. Right up until it got written off 4 years later.

Halfords sell an affordable headlight restoration kit. Includes everything you need, unless they’re really bad in which case you might need more sandpaper.

What is the best UV-resistant 1K clear-coat in a can?
I need to refurbish my car's polycarbonate headlights to pass the MOT, so will be sanding, polishing and clear-coating them. The logical thing to do would be to spray them with 2K clear-coat, but I'm shit-scared of the allegedly horrific side-effects of inhaling isocyanate activator in '2K in a can' spraypaint.
I've found 'U-Pol 1K UV Resistant Clear Gloss'; this claims to be isocyanate-free. Will such a thing last?
