F30 Headlights Micro Scratches?
Hello, wondering if anybody has had a similar experience to this on F30 headlights..
It appears to be tons of micro scratches or something along the lines of that? I've tried researching online and have found that this may be a fault with the plastic BMW uses for the lens. However when my car was still under warranty I took it in and they refused to replace the lens under warranty because my coilovers may have stiffened the chassis to much causing damage to the headlight. (Lmao I know, I know yes I actually got told that by BMW) Anyways, any help on how I can fix this or advice is greatly appreciated.. really is bothering me looking at it |

That does make sense actually.. I'll have to look into the 3M kit and see how good I can get it. Thanks a lot for your help!

I am not sure if it is the best, as I did not compare, but I believe I used a product from Mcguiars. As I said, I think I got both headlights to the best they could look for a 7 year old van with nearly 100k miles.

I prefer 3M because their Trizact sandpaper is the best in the business. I use 3000g Trizact for the final sanding step before rubbing out new paint. It does such a good job that it cuts the initial compounding time in half.

Sylvania is the best for this...
