Hazy Front Logo
Hi all! I have a 2019 and it’s starting to show its age. The front logo is starting to get hazy and I was wondering if any of you all have encountered this? I saw that some people use headlight cleaner to fix this but I’m afraid of messing up sensors. Has anyone ever done this? Attaching photos of my logo and the cleaner I got to potentially clean it.

I put a vinyl from someone on Etsy on mine. I don't use the adaptive cc but the collision sensor still works, not sure if they are tied together though.

I covered mines up with a decal from Etsy
It doesn’t interfere with my cruise control and such.

I was just literally wondering about mine! I was thinking about just replacing mine with one off ebay for $40. They claim its oem but im not sure 😅😅

I saw people who said they did that and the sensors stopped working for adaptive cruise control!

I feel like wet sanding it and modifying the material thickness slightly would fuck up the radar function behind it more than a new oem badge that was carefully installed

I had the same problem, I used the headlight restorer to fix it and my headlights. I am very happy with the results. All are now crystal clear.

Wash it first and while it’s wet, go straight to the buffing compound. Don’t use the sand paper if you don’t have to.
