    Default Headlight restoration that really works

    Tried the 3m restoration kit today and this thing really works. Pretty easy really. I removed the lens so I didn't have to worry about taping off anything. On the E39 its a matter of removing three bulbs and four screws. Whole lens pops out no problem. All you do is spin three varieties of sand paper P500, P700 and 3000 with water misting then you polish it out with 3m plastic polish. Finished off both lenses in less than an hour and that includes re installation. Pictures tells it all

    Yea, 3M and co are on a winner with that stuff. They're gonna have to legislate about doing this soon with the number of HIDs running around behind acryliic. pleugghhh!
