This is what I did to my daughters 2004 Matrix, summer 2014 I think. https://youtu.be/UEJbKLZ7RmM
The plastic was so hazed you had to use the high beams to get around.
I wouldn't sell this as permanent but I got a couple years out of it before it started to go. I did one side with the clear coat and buffed it really well after it was dry. The other side I left without the clear coat just buffed the hell out it. The clear coat gave me that extra year or so before we started noticing the hazing coming back. Actually the clear coat started flaking a bit and then the peel was on.
I've since sold the car but the guy who bought it hasn't felt the need to redo the sanding and clear coat quite yet. I told him I would help with it over the summer since I hunt his property whenever I want for an occasional 12 of the favored IPA at the time.
I have to do my taco soon. Should have done it last summer. Hopefully I'll get it done this spring or summer.
