Default Clean Inside Headlights

Hi guys,

I had some condensation inside my trucks headlights and now there are spots inside. Can anyone recommend how to get those out or know of a place that does this type of service?

Thanks,
Theod

need more info -

our headlights, for example, have to be removed from the car if you have condensation (and you have to remove the bumper to do that!!)-

so we need to know what truck, and what lights. got pics?

you first have to determine whether there is any damage from the condensation. water usually damages from minerals that dry on the surface... i am guessing, but do not know for sure, that on the inside you are less likely to have mineral problems. minerals on paint can cause "etches" in the paint (damage).

i think i would first try a light plastic polish like plexus.

i like plexus for your problem because it isnt harsh. if the plexus doesnt help, you have to go more harsh- a true plastic polish.

try the plexus first and report back.
