The cracks that you are seeing (sider webbing) is the UV coating. It dries out and can crack. The only way you can correct this is buy using the wet sanding method. You actually have to remove the coating.

As for hazing, that is the UV coating beginning to discolor.

You really have to look at this UV coating just like you would the clearcoat on your paint. If it is physically damaged, as in cracked or scratched, you have to remove the coating down below the defect. Then you can restore it. If it is hazing, you might be able to use a mild abrasive polish to remove just enough of the hazed coating to allow for a nice smooth surface.

In our case, I don't think you can just go out and buy this UV coating persay, but the clear plastic products mentioned do add some water and UV protection. I am not sure at what level, but I do know it adds some.
