The OS products are great, but they dont actually "fix" the problem. They fill the scratches and "buff" the lens. So for a short term fix, the 1 step works great, but in my case we plan on keeping it for some time. It always pays off to do it the long way rather than take shortcuts.

I did my buddies Jetta headlights with polyurethane spray. didn't think it would work but it came out crystal clear. Not to mention it takes not time at all.
