Internal Headlight Cleaning?

[BDM]

Not sure if you can see but I have some internal marks at the top? Does anyone know of a company that can sort this?

Many thanks

The 'oil on water' mark?

 

[BDM]

Yep that the one...

I believe that may actually be within the material rather than a surface contaminate

That does look like it's the plastic itself leaching some oil.

If you wanted to have ago, you can carefully split them by putting them in an oven to soften the glue. YouTube will show you how.

If we mean the rainbow, I'd have assumed it was polarisation but there we are!

The headlight assembly on my 360 were getting terrible inside with dust and contaminants. We did exactly that, split them using an oven and then paint and re-seal. It’s a bit ‘open heart surgery’ but nice result.

A forum guy, who had done it to his 360, split them for me. I then took them to a paint guy in Sidcup who I’d used before. He did the front bumper and headlight respray and assembly.
It’s the splitting them that is the delicate matter - if they break it’s a new headlight assembly!

I don’t know I’m afraid - someone else did it for me. Have a google on the subject though, can’t be that difficult to get an idea of temps required.
