Restoring a BMW foggy headlights is not much different from a Toyota or a Nissan. The principle of headlight restoration remains the same throughout. There are four basic steps

  • Sand the foggy headlights from coarse to fine
  • Polish the now clean headlights
  • Clean the headlights with a pre-treater
  • Seal the clean headlights

On an average Japanese car, you can start sanding with a #400 grit sandpaper or possibly a 1000 grit and then move on to a 2000 grit sandpaper. However the German car headlights like BMW I recommend starting with #220grit sandpaper especially if the headlights are not completely oxidized looking either yellow or whitish.

If your headlights are foggy or cloudy in some areas and it is crystal clear in the other areas that means you have some existing manufacturer's sealant left on the headlights. Believe it or not, headlights in this condition are a little more difficult to restore than a headlight that is completely oxidized. The sealant on the BMW headlights is extremely tuff and using #400grit sometimes skids off the sealant with very little effect. For that reason, I recommend starting with #220 grit sandpaper when you are restoring partially foggy headlights or headlights that are just starting to get foggy or cloudy on BMW cars

  • Directions for restoring BMW foggy headlights:

i. Tape around the headlight to protect your cars paint job

ii. Start wet sanding your foggy headlights with the 220 grit sandpaper until your headlights look completely dull

iii. Proceed to the 400 grit than the 1000 grit and finally the 2000 grit sandpaper

iv. Now your headlights should look nice and clean with a low sheen

Start polishing your headlights by applying a dime-size amount on the white towel enclosed in your headlight restoration kit. When you finish polishing your headlights would have a little brighter look. It doesn’t have to shine!

v. Spray Pre-treater on the headlight lenses and leave it for about 10 to 15 seconds then wipe dry. The pre-treater strips away all residual polish and grease from the lenses plus it opens up the pause of the headlights to accept the sealer to make an excellent bond.

vi. Finally Seal your now clean headlights to look like new. This is where the magic happens. From steps ii to iv all you were doing is only cleaning your headlights. Using a high-quality headlight restoration sealant like the one we provide in our headlight restoration kit makes a huge difference.

Fold the blue towel from the kit and saturate about one inch of it with the sealant and apply from side to side overlapping each pass about 50%. At this point, you will see your BMW headlights transformed from being clean headlights to headlights that look new.
