Instructions for Polishing the Front Headlight

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

Front headlights often become cloudy due to weather, especially from the sun, as well as chemical agents from car washes; however, it is possible to polish them to restore their shine and clarity. One solution could be using toothpaste, but it is actually very easy and inexpensive to find specific aftermarket headlight polishing kits; the best solution is to wet sand the surface of the headlight until it is uniformly dull, then proceed with polishing, repeating the process multiple times.
