I saw a video that was floating around Facebook today where a guy used Off Deep Woods bug spray to clear up his headlights. I figured I'd give it a shot. Yes, I know the paint is terrible on my bumper lol.
According to the video, the guy said to use an old sock, obviously you can use whatever you want but I had some old socks I haven't thrown away yet so I decided to use one.
Spray the bug spray generously on the sock, then get scrubbing! It doesn't take much at all to get it off. I had probably 30-45 seconds of scrubbing on this headlight total. It's pretty greasy stuff so I got out some car wash soap and a wash mit and washed off the headlight. Still pretty greasy but I think it'll clean up eventually. I'll try cleaning it tomorrow again and will post future pictures to see what it looks like later on. The last picture is after I washed it with my soap and water and is 45 minutes after the Off bug spray was put on.
I recommend using some masking tape that's safe for your car paint and masking off around the headlight, just incase it damages paint. My paint is junk so I didn't care.
