Default Headlight lens film hide scratches?

I have small scratches on my headlight lens from wet sanding and washing over time. They stand out more at night when the headlights are turned on. I was wondering if I applied a 3M clear UV protectant lens film if it would hide the scratches. Just like the way when applying a Zagg invisible shield on your phone it hides the scratches.

3m 9000 Paint Defender spray on clear bra will hide all the scratches and still be removable.

It's similar to Plastidip but much higher quality and engineered for paint protection.

Remove your headlights instead of masking your whole front end....it's not rocket science

Yeah well its a pain to remove the bumper and headlights just to give it a quick spray. I was hoping it was more like plasti dip were very minimal masking is needed

What? The front bumper can be take off in less than 10 minutes....you'll probably gonna spend more time masking the whole front end
