headlight cleaning

[1969cadillac]

hello!

I have found some used hella high beam inserts to fit to my 69 cad limo

problem is they have been sitting around for years with the bulb missing and the inside of the lense is fogged up !

how do I clean inside properly without ruining the reflector , and then get rid of the cleaning agent ?

thanks , Murray Mules

I have a great deal of success using straight white vinegar with delicate things that you don't want any water spots on. Lay the fixture face down, and fill until you cover the inner areas you want to clean. Let it set for an hour or more and let it do the cleaning chemically. Just dump out the vinegar in the sink. Use just a tiny bit of distilled water to rinse, and let dry face up and allow air movement into the opening of the housing which will now be face down level.  Good Luck, David Symonds

I'm with D.Symonds on this one or you could use CLR like I did. Wear gloves.
Major improvement.
Good luck.

hello ! thanks for the advice , tried the vinegar and distilled water cleaning routine

got rid of most of it , but now I appear to have some small white spots on the reflectors!

and as you can see the lense is not totally clean .

I was thinking of using a small brush through the apperature , but what to use as a cleaning agent?
