Just re do them every 6 months.

Cut and Polish is a good option. Did that on my old neon with some 1500 wet and dry paper and ordinary cutting compound.
My mate was telling me if you take the lights out, give them a buff, then you can get some cheap clear plastic primer and you won't have to do them again for years.

All good ideas, just remember whatever product or solution you go for make sure it has a sealer to protect the light (as glassylite does). The light has a protective coating from new, when you buff that light the first time you completely remove that manufacturers seal and the light is now exposed to UV and the elements.
