QuestionCan I use bug/tar remover on headlights?Blues.Guitar.Lessons. .Jim.BruceCommunity AnswerIt's best not to use tar remover, as these products are designed for the much more durable car body finishes. Most headlights are made of polycarbonate plastic, which tends to oxidize and go cloudy. Toothpaste cleans away tiny objects and insects stuck onto the surface while gently polishing the plastic.

QuestionI have a 2006 Toyota Corolla. There is a lot of moisture behind the headlight cover, but I'm having trouble removing it. Can you give me some tips for getting it off?Community AnswerRemove the headlight and locate the vent. It's usually on the bum middle headlight and has a small rubber tube attached to it. Fill the headlight with 1 inch of isopropyl alcohol. Shake. The alcohol will absorb the water and clean the inside of the headlight at the same time. You can start up with some white vinegar to help clean the inside and then finish with the alcohol.

QuestionWhat removes oxidation from headlights?Drew Hawkins1Community AnswerOne easy way to remove the oxidation is to clean it off with a glass cleaner. If the oxidation is on the outside of the headlight, spray it down with a glass cleaner and then scrub with a clean cloth. You can also follow up with a car or plastic polish to make the surface of the headlight shine. If the oxidation is on the inside of the headlight, you'll need to use a lens repair kit to remove the oxidation.

Soak a sponge in the soda and wipe it over your headlights. Let it sit for about 5 minutes so the acid in the cola can eat away the oxidation. Then, wipe it clean with a towel. If there's still some residue or oxidation on the headlight, try applying the cola again and wiping it clean.

QuestionCan you clean headlights with WD-40?Drew Hawkins1Community AnswerNo, you should not use WD-40 to clean headlights. Though some people may believe that WD-40 works as a degreaser or will oxidation, if you apply it to the surface of your headlight it could melt the lens. It may also make it cloudy and cause dirt and dust to stick to the surface, making it even dirtier. Use a glass cleaner or a headlight cleaning kit to properly clean them.
