Polished headlights, worried I removed UV layer

So I was ignorant and not aware there was a UV layer on headlights.

I used a DA orbital to polish the headlights with light swirl remover polish, what should I be doing next to damage control this?

I drove through a sandstorm and my headlights suffered light needle-pin pricks, so I had them polished to remove the top damaged layer. I then had the headlights covered in Suntek Ultra film—that should provide similar protection to that original layer you buffed out.

If you're that worried about it, go to Xpel's website and buy pre-cut film for your headlights. I did that on my E90 M3 and the headlight lenses look like it just rolled off the factory
