Clio 182 Headlight Sprays, dirty headlght housing

[mcyates]

How can I clean it, i've not tried yet, but they look stained due to the washers. Hopefully it will just wipe off, but knowing my luck it will be scratched. Pic below.

Are the scratched or not.

sorry for the bump.

What are we actually supposed to be looking at ? For a start the pics a bit dark . Where do you think the staining is , on the outside ?? If its on the outside try wiping it mate , you'll soon see if its scratched .

You can clearly see it lol, i've outlined this picture with yellow.

i have that on mine, its inside the lens, abit of condensation or something, i never seem to be able to get rid of it either, only really notice it when the lights are on

Its calcium from hard water, give them a good rub with a soft cloth soaked in vinegar.

Use distilled water in your washer bottle, you obviously live in a hard water area, whats your kettle like on the inside ?

 

[mcyates]

Our water is soft. I usually use ready used screen wash so it might be from that. I don't know, i'll try the vinigar suggestion at the weekend. I hope it works as its looks crap.

Just done this (with the vinegar) and it didn't do anything.

Any more suggestions.

Meguiars PlastX did a good job on mine. Admittedly I used a PC but if you're up for aching arms it also works by hand.

Polishing something so small would get painful quite quickly!

They also do a separate plastic cleaner and polish.

PlastX is available in Halfords. It's a good product with diminishing abrasives.

Having said that, even Autoglym Super Resin Polish would be worth a go.

thanks a lot for the advice, i'll give it a go, I think I have that Autoglym Super Resin Polish in the house somewhere.
