bought some used Bosch w126 euro headlights.... took off the lens and decided to clean the reflectors, first a little H20, no problem, then windex, then P21 S cleaner...BIG MISTAKE, took the reflective finish off and left me with brown! man I was mad at myself!!! this cost me since i could not find new euro light parts...tried painting brown area and reflective hvac tape (looks like crap, although the tape looks better)...ended up buying more euro lights off ebay and forum members for parts and or replace.

do not clean reflectors with any thing but a fine cloth and water and then be real careful. better yet leave em alone.
