New to Detailing My E420
This is my 2nd detailing experience with a Vector rotary polisher. I'm correcting with Menzerna IP, polishing with Menzerna Micro Polish and wxing with Meguier's NXT Paste. Before:

Looks good! You may want to put a clear coat on the lenses in order to prevent them from fogging up again.

Nice work. I like your choice of products. I agree that putting a coating on the plastic headlamp lenses is a good idea. I've had good luck putting Zaino sealant on the lenses. Some plastic cleaners/polishes also claim to retard future yellowing and fogging, in addition to removing cloudiness. Sounds like an AIO kind of thing to me, and I've never been too fond of those, but others may have a different opinion about that.
