I recently replaced the orange indicator lenses on my 964 to clear ones. Now, the 25 year old fog light lenses look grey and dirty.

Is there a lens cleaner available that would cut through the years of grime and get the fog lenses to at least resemble the bright lens besides them? Does Halfrauds stock anything that would do the job? I'm attending a car show on Sunday and would like to get the job done before then, if at al possible.

Thank you.

Give them a good clean and a machine polish.

Thanks for your quick response, Digitalize. Is there any particular cleaning product that I should use??

Taking the lenses off and cleaning the insides with APC - run of the mill APC from a supermarket should suffice. You may need a small brush, cotton buds and a microfibre cloth or two depending on how intricate the inside of the lens is.

Thanks for that. I hadn't thought about cleaning the insides. I assume that the fog lights are sealed units. I hope so. smile

A light abrasive polish on a microfibre cloth should clean up the outside lens, you may be surprised how much clarity is gained by cleaning the insidesthumbup
