also some oem headlights dont just go up and down. they also turn left and right as you turn... i wouldnt buy some bs lights to replace them. oem is too expensive.. i would really look into a good detailer.

THANK YOU ALL , I ended up doing it all by myself and pretty impressed with the results. I could've done a better job but I park in underground parking not enough light and outside too damn cold
And Yes I'd be more careful from now on.

good stuff bro !!
are you using stock bulbs?
i changed mine to 8k and have matching LEd parking bulbs. not too expensive and it looks beautiful. just a suggestion. if you think 8k is too blue 5k is also nice.

This really makes me believe that the oxidation is on the outside and not the inside with condensation.

Depending on how deep any rock chip are, will depend on the grit of sandpaper you will need to use. On the wifes 5-series, I start with 600 grit and work my way up to 3000 grit. Then, a thorough washing, UV-resistant Clear (Krylon) and go at it with my buffer and jelewers rouge.
I use the same method to polish motorcycle frams, wheels etc. I have used it on 3-4 sets of headlights and they have held up for several years. I have heard good things about the Helmsman method, so will use that on my E when I get home.
