Unfortunately no pictures to show but would be grateful for any advice on the following. One of my headlight covers (standard fit lexan / plastic - BMW)has a slight milky bloom which I cant seem to shift. I had thought that it might been forming inside through moisture penetration but I have had the car for nearly a year and neither headlight has ever misted up.

When you wash it it looks clear but clouding comes back when its dry. It is not terrible but the other is perfectly clear and is a bit irritating.

Any ideas? anything I could try cleaning it with?

If it is on the outside of the lamp or plastic cover then try using this. I tried this on my lights on the Accord Type R and worked a treat.

Very easy to use.

Solvol Autosol works well, or a tube of Farcela (?) G5
