Thinners on a rag?

Would that not dis-colour and burn into the lense ?

White spirit, wouldnt go anywhere near my car with thinners but white spirit is ok. dont confuse the two.

thinners is likely to melt the plastic!

Just a polishing compound will do the trick mate, wouldn't advise using paint thinners unless you are experience in using that sort of thing

+1 on the clay bar and detailing spray, as a little cheap skin flint trick you can use a spray bottle with some weak wash and wax solution and use some blue tac........yes blue tac!
not as effective as the real macoy but still gets it off quite well But if youve cleaned them up alread then this post is a little pointless i suppose but might be of help to somebody. |
