[Help] Damaged Anti-fog Coating

sselemit · 07-15-2013, 09:41 PM

Bad luck today, I accidentally drop a few drops of rubbing alcohol on the inside of the clear headlight housing. I wiped it with microfiber cloth and this is the result.

I think have damaged the anti-fog coating. Is there anyway to repair this?

Thanks

I would suggest using a plastic cleaner like the one Maguire sells and then applying some Rain X anti fog sealant or something along that nature. My 2 cents. You might be able to salvage them.

I looked around quite a bit for some anti-fog coating to restore your lights. I can't find anything that fits well.

I would suggest removing the rest of the film to give it a uniform finish then following up the the best product you can find. The Rain-X Anti Fog that 1st mentions may work out.
