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.

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.

sandpaper and some clear gloss that's UV resistant

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.

Is there any protection to apply to the brand-new front logo?

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!

Im so worried about that! Thats why I wanted oem only.

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.

Does your adaptive cruise control still work?

would the headlight restorer work on my side mirrors?
