Thanks for the advice. Sanded the protectant off and used plastx but it was still hazy (although much better than it was). Ended up redoing the restoration with Meguiars & it worked out great.

Recently, I had to let go of my BMW 5 series (2010) because of some pricey engine problems. After doing a lot of research, I decided to go with a Japanese car because they're known for their reliability, and I stumbled upon this gem. It has a great service history, low mileage, and a clean MOT record, my decision. When I took it for a test drive, I was impressed by how comfortable and smooth it was compared to my old BMW (seriously, I couldn't believe it) I'm hoping it'll last a long time with proper maintenance. While it might not be the fastest car, and there could be some expected issues like carbon build-up and potentially replacing the alternator, I'm really pleased with its overall performance and comfort. Despite its age, it's still equipped with some great features, although I'm already thinking about some upgrades like installing a new head unit for Android Auto/CarPlay, upgrading the headlights, and getting sleek black rims.

This one. Yeah it is cold and wet. I should've waited for warmer weather 😔

Not sure what happened. I followed the package instructions to the tee. I think the protectant did not dry properly? It was sticky after a few hours. I didn't drive the car until the next day. Kept it in shade and covered from rain. The headlights felt dry the next day. However after a few hours in the sun they felt blotchy. 24hrs later this is the result. They feel grainy and gross now. What can I do? Do I sand off the protectant and start again? PXL_20240213_215417892.mp4
