I don't know what they're made of, but I suspect most cleaning agents and a bit of elbow grease would bring off the reflective material. I wouldn't use anything more than a damp cloth to wipe them with.

Even a damp cloth will damage the coating if you are not very careful. Replacement is def the best option.

Replacement must be better, if you are prepared to go in from the front. I was so horrified when I saw the state of mine I did a sp12 conversion.

If replacing I would try and source a rubber seal and proper connector for the bulb to help keep them clean.
