  1. Derp actually melts the grimy surface off., it’s great at removing the buildup but at the same time it removes any protective coating. The clean lenses can then be sprayed with WD-40 for a protective coating . If you skip this step there, will be long-term damage to your
    Headlight . That ugly buildup will return faster and faster.
