    Mine does from time to time, usually after a wash. Burns off after a drive, haven’t noticed any issues from it

    Absolutely standard and normal. Had that all the time, both on my F12s and on the 812 SF as well.

    Normal on F12 and 812 - usually occurs in damp weather or after a wash. Can hang around for a while depending upon atmospheric conditions. I live in the UK and the very dry weather we have had recently has meant it hasn't happened for a while even when the car has been washed.

    Have you seen this before. Came up in a PPI on a car I’m looking at. They say it may be the PPF film
    Delaminating and are going to steam it off

    Removing PPF from a headlight lens will remove the external optical coating used for final light projection properties. Do a search and see what has been posted on this. Once film is on it needs to stay on unfortunately.

    Surely this can be sanded and polished out.
