Need to use Blue Magic brand UV Lens protector after sanding and polishing and
each time you wash the car.

Subject: Re: [Spridgets] Plastic Headlight Restoration
worked great on the 2000 BMW wagon, BUT it stared clouding up after two years.
I talked to someone in the plastic industry and they said that no matter how
well you polish it, it will never get as smooth as stock, so it will fog up
faster. Depending on the original coating, you also might lose a UV
inhibitor.
That being said, I will try a kit again this spring since the car has 185k on
it. It will not get new ones if I can help it.
