When you see a how to tip online, do you take a chance and give it a try? I am usually very skeptical if it really seems to good to be true. A few weeks back an image popped up on social media claiming you could use regular household [walmart https://www.walmart.com/ip/OFF-Deep-Woods-Insect-Repellent-V-6-oz/11027605/ OFF] bug spray to clean and brighten up your head lights. The picture that was shared was a dramatic difference between the before and after, and of course we didn’t think it was true. Well, we put it to the test and we were shocked to see that it was true! An amazing difference from the before to the after pictures of the headlights. So from me to you, here is How to Clean Your Headlights using Bug Spray.
Supplies:
2 Dirty Headlights

A little elbow grease
Directions:
Simply spray the entire area of the headlight with a good amount of [walmart https://www.walmart.com/ip/OFF-Deep-Woods-Insect-Repellent-V-6-oz/11027605/ OFF]Â bug spray. Let it sit for just a minute or two.
Wipe the bug spray from the headlights, using a little pressure for those stubborn areas.
The photos shown are after just one scrubbing. Letting the [walmart https://www.walmart.com/ip/OFF-Deep-Woods-Insect-Repellent-V-6-oz/11027605/ OFF]Â sit for just 30 seconds. There was so much grime on the cloth. I think we will be doing this once a month to keep our lights shining bright.
You can see the difference just in the before and after photos. My parents visit family a few hours away atleast twice a month and there was a good amount of build up on the headlights. We were pleasantly surprised with the possitive outcome from this how to clean your headlights tip.

This is just fab Heather! I’m going to have to remember this little gem next time I see dirty headlights!
Glad you like it. It really was so fast and so easy. We were shocked.
I would have never thought of doing this. Thank you so much for sharing this tip.
Your so welcome! I was shocked at how well it worked.
Unbelievable! Who would of thunk it that OFF could be used to clean headlights. Now, OFF can be used year-round.
Definitely! I was amazed.
So amazingly easy – love it! Thanks for linking up to Show Me Saturday. Hope to see you there tomorrow!
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.
