Maguire PlastRX is what you want. Did mine today - need doing every couple of months. Assuming your mist is external, of course.

I read that too - but the normal misting is external and the OP's tone seemed unsure. Hope it is external - hence my suggestion as it's an easy fix. Otherwise it'll be opening up the headlight unit which is a pain.
