My M now has the Xpel headlight protection to help with rock chips and hopefully not developing this problem.
I haven't seen any cloudiness on my M45's lights--I put the Xpel protectors on shortly after I bought the car in 2010 before they started getting cloudy.Bmore2ny wrote:pedsemdoc wrote:I had this problem on my old 2000 Acura TL, I didn't use this kit, but bought some wet/dry sandpaper of different grits--200/400/800/1000 and Plastic-X plastic polish which seemed to work well.

How have the X-Pel lens protectors work out thus far??? Is it keeping them from getting cloudy again?
I am familiar with Antz and he gets my goat too at times. But to drop his name in this thread out of the blue? No need for that, mate. This forum is for everyone - even for you and me. Let's please respect that.FNAWSM wrote:Im really liking this new "Kirkland" fella. He has 4 total posts and has already contributed more than Antz ever has in his 1000+ posts or probably will. Welcome to the forum, thanks for taking the time to post up some DIY's. PS. Between your headlights, scratches, and tailpipes you officially have the most "previously neglected" M around. Im glad you rescued it from that terrible environment it was obviously in.

Kirkland, I suggest you put some sealant on it as quick as you can. I used some wax that offered UV protection but I sold the car 2-3 months after I sanded the headlights to new so I can't tell you how long it will last. Perhaps that Xpel lens protector should do you good! Look into that.

5 days ago. I put on some other sealer that someone recommended and it's supposed to be good for ever...instructions didn't say to reapply.CPJ LB wrote:IlyaKol wrote:I used the same kit and had similar results. Good stuff.
about how long ago did you restore your headlights?? I'm trying to figure out how many times to reapply the protectant....I'm only driving my M on the weekends and it's garaged all day.
Are your headlights still clear? I hear they start to fog up pretty fast.EniGmA1987 wrote:Mine were WAY worse than that. And I used this same kit to restore them. works very well
That's a Y34 without question.CPJ LB wrote:it's a great product....I was looking at other restoration kits and they did not compare... I also used the video that someone made as my reference....I thought the guy had an 03 M45 at first, but looks like a late model Maxima...???
here's the video he made...
