Pretty pleased with the 3M kit but not sure what to put on the lenses to try and keep them looking good for a while longer?

Some clear spray on liquid wax has worked for me for 18 months

I didn't buy anything fancy, think I bought it from tesco or asda car section.

It was the cheap equivalent of this kind of thing on the link below around £4 a bottle I think.  Spray on, spread with micro fiber cloth, wait 5-10mins then buff off with another cloth.  Kept them in pretty good condition I think applying every 1-2months one spray bottle has lasted me about 18months.
