Sticky Stuff On Headlight....
Hey Guys, I Recently Had To Put Some Of The Black Stuff That Keeps The Water Out Of Your Headlights To Prevent Fog On Mine, And The Stuff Got On My Hands, And Now Its On The Lens Of My Headlight. How Can I Get It Off? I Tried Brake Fluid.... Nothing. Any Suggestions? Thanx.

Anyway, try acetone (nail polish remover) first. Isopropal alcohol (rubbing alcohol) might do the trick. If not, try small amounts of goo gone. But do a test patch first to make sure it won't corrode the plastic.

Here is what I would do and it most likely would be the safest. Try bug and tar remover first. If that does not work try to use a clay bar to get it off . Or a polish. I polish plastic all the time and it comes out really nice. I would be very careful about what you use do to it being plastic.

and i'd be trying bug/tar remover, if that doesnt work the gasoline thing sounds promising, just make sure to wash any spot that the gasoline touched when you're done. come to think of it, ditto for the bug/tar remover

Use Goo Gone, and if that doesnt work use rubbing alcohol... I had to do this a lot of times... BTW, I hated it when that **** gone on my hands, It just doesnt want to come off. Also, if you got it on any clothing, just throw it out, no point in trying to get it off, haha.
Whenever I touch silicone now, rubber gloves and dirty clothes are a must.
