Headlight Cleaning
Does anyone have tips or what to use to keep headlights clean and water/dirty repellent? I hate dirty headlights especially with my new bulbs but using the Rain-X wipes on them in the cold cause them to streak.
Any help with this is great. Thanks

Wax them. Then use a quick spray wax (I use 3M #39034 Quick Wax Spray) after every wash. Keeps everything nice and slippery. Water and dirt stays away except for salt spray. It sticks to everything
good idea! I have some in the garage, I gotta try....
Do NOT wax plastic headlights on any car! This will fog them over time. The wax seems to react and create that dim yellow hue.
Use a soft cloth (never paper towels which work like fine grit sandpaper on the soft lenses). Use a cleaner made specifically for plastic.
Plexus is my brand of choice, I buy from a motorcycle dealer for my Honda Valkyrie. It is designed for motorcycle windshields and helmets. I did a quick search and found this, apparently it is also used in aviation... http://www.mypilotstore.com/MyPilotS...FQSpnQodghEAkw

I put the Xpel headlight protection covers on my wife's Crew. I have them on my Infiniti M45 and they have saved me some rock chips and nicks that would have bugged me to no end.
Takes a little bit of practice to get them on right, definitely should use a hair dryer or heat gun to help get them on.
