Cleaning and Polishing Headlight Lens

Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Headlight

Due to weather conditions and aging, headlight lenses tend to become cloudy. If you are dealing with older generation headlights, these lenses are made of glass, not plastic, and can even be removed from the headlight assembly without breaking or detaching anything (there are metal clips that hold the headlight components together). Once the headlight is removed and the lenses are taken off, start with a thorough wash using soap and water to eliminate any dirt residue. After proper drying, treat the lens surfaces with automotive wax: apply the wax, let it dry until it becomes cloudy, and then remove it with a microfiber cloth.
