Are the headlight lenses for halogens meaningfully different than the ones for xenons? There seem to be less in the way of OE options for the Xenon ones and they're more expensive

Titanium silver. Of course a ceramic coating would be a great option but I don't want to spend the money tbh. I'm pretty new to any sort of paint protection, as a beginner would there be a DIYable coat I could do?
I guess I could get a tent haha

It's very easy to DIY it nowadays. Though, best results come after polishing the car, which is a more involved DIY than spreading the coating around and wiping it off. TiAg doesn't show swirls really, so you could just cover the car and get better, long term protection for the paint.

What color car? Light color doesn't show fine scratches much.

Ceramic coating would be a better choice than low sio2 content otc spray stuff.

Can you erect a tent/shade for cover?

Currently have no garage, and parking my car outside in the hot Hawaii sun kills me. I have a cover but am scared to use it as I don't want to get any scratches. I use Griots 3-1 wax for the UV protection, but other than that are there other cost-effective ways to save my clear coat? Or am I being silly and should just use the cover.
