waterless wash on headlights

[rjgabor]

Hi,

 

Is it safe to use waterless wash on the plastic headlights to remove bug bombs between washes? Seemed safer to me than just a wet rag.

 

Thanks!

Yes, do everything to your headlights that you do to your paint. Polish, seal, wax your headlights!

 

I would recommend letting the bugs presoak by spraying WW on them and letting it sit for a few minutes, the bugs will come off way easier!

Yep, what Nathan said! Especially during the Spring and summer months when bugs seem to be at their peak, I will carry a bottle of Waterless Wash in my car with a few Waffle Weave Towels and wipe down the front whenever possible after a drive, so that bug guts aren't sitting on the clear coat and possibly baking in with the hot sun. 

 

I will also do a pre-soak with either Waterless Wash or a spray-mix of Rinseless Wash to soak down the front for about 2 or 3 minutes prior to doing a Two Bucket Wash with my foam gun or foam cannon. Blasting the bugs with just the stream from the hose or pressure washer after they have been soaking does seem to remove them from the surface more easily for me, and the less I'm scrubbing with a wash pad, the less chance there is of introducing fine swirl marks.

Thanks, guys!!   The fact that it's getting dark earlier means way more bugs on the way home from work.    I appreciate the help.
