I have restored many headlights, however it seems I always have an issue with BMW headlights. My restore process always including wetsanding usually with 1000, 2000 grit and then polishing. Sometimes I will go as low as 400 grit if needed. No matter what I do, with the BMW headlights there is some yellow staining I can't remove. The surface is very smooth, so this is what I don't understand.
Is it possible that the plastic is stained or discolored from the inside?
I am wondering if the HID or Xenon lights in these cars generate a lot of heat and can possibly cause this problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
