Bug Spray OFF
I thought I would share this with eveyone: A friend had seen a video clip a "gear head" using OFF Bug Spray to clean his badly stained headlights. While I was cleaning out some old paint in the garage, I noticed an old can of Off Bug Spray, I thought I would try it. Lucky enough I recently bought a 1992 Yamaha Seca II motorcycle with badly stained winshield. I sprayed the Off Bug Spray directly to the windshield and let is soak for a second or so, then wiped it off with clean wash cloth. It removed all the "orange" layer off the winshield and turned the wash cloth the orange color. So I did the same to the driving light and the side lense on my 92. It produced the same result.
I am sure several of us have vehicles with the stained head light, you might want give this a try. Thank you.

Here's how a friend of mine fixed his- He paints cars for a living. First he sands the plastic with 600 grit (i think). Then he masks the areas off that are not the lens. Next he puts on 2 coats of clear coat. They look better then new, and he says they will last as long as the clear coat does!

When I was fishing Pro Bass Tournaments I learned not to get the bug spray on the fishing line.. It would do the same thing to the line as it did to the headllight lense, and weaken it.... You don't want to loose a big fish because of bug spray...
