Headlight lens cover...
Hello,
I have a 2003 A3.. The headlight lens covers are starting to become
"cloudy".. Is there any type of cleaning solution available to clean off
this grime and get them looking crystal clear again?? I sure don't want to
buy new lens covers!
Thanks,
Troy

I use some petrol on a clean rag. Be sure not to grind the dirty
particles back onto the plastic because that *will* make the plastic
lose its transparency.
If you're worried about using petrol, start with ethanol instead.

Re: Headlight lens cover...
Miguiers(SP?) makes a cleaner and a polish for plastic that will
remove oxidization and grime, I swear by it, I use it on my BMW
motorcycle on a regular basis, and am very happy with the results, you
should be able to buy it at autozone, or any auto parts store, it
comes in a blue and a white bottle.
Best of luck John
