Well since no one had used Xerapol before i decided to test it out myelf and find out if it is any good.
It is a plastic polish/scratch remover and i wanted to see if it would clean up my head lights which were looking a bit scatch and hazy.
Well after first using the small piece of 1500 grade abrasive paper the about 2 hours polishing they look like this
They're not perfect. That would have taken all day and a lot more 1500 paper to get all the stone marks out, but the haziness has gone and the look a lot better. All for only £4.99 + p&p

What a difference! Has it made an improvement into the light performance? Not having angel eyes myself so excuse what may appear to be a silly question but do both the round lenses in each light cluster on your car have angel eyes? In the very first photograph you posted, to me it looks like only the wing side headlight has an angel eye ring but the angel eyes I have seen have two rings in each headlight.

Should work on standard E34 lights then, I guess guys. It certainly is a big improvment. Michael. ------------- '06 C220 Sport - '88 E30 325i Convertible
