They are exactly the same. 

I should have explained it better, you buy a kit, in the kit you get 3 grades of wet/dry paper/disc and polish, you also get a lacquer often in the form a wipe, which is applied last. It's this lacquer that provides the anti scratch and UV protection.  It's the same lacquer that eventually yellows and goes opaque.

Ah yes I forgot about that, I used a one of this kits for a mates car and the lacquer stayed clear for about 6 months.

So @Dave48, you could use the above kit as Gnasher suggested but then instead of using the final wipe, do a proper lacquer clear coat from a spray can -

• just take your time, follow the instructions on the tin,
  
• spray in lots of thin layers (you do not want any runs) and after final coat give the lacquer several days to cure fully hard.
  
• then get 2000/3000 grit so to flat it and remove any imperfections
  
• then buff it with polishing compound to a gloss finish.
  

@Gnasher I assume my suggestion above should last for years if done right?
