Default Headlight cluster clean up...

Do you guys use anything special to clean the headlight cluster?
I've always just used whatever I'm cleaning the car with but heard sticking abit of window lean on them after a wash gives them a nice shine??
Gonna give it a go at the weekend but wandering if any other products might do a better job..

Thanks👍

Toothpaste does a good job. Just keep it away from the paintwork as it's a mild abrasive.

Nothing special to clean them, just snow foam and car shampoo. I always use a good wax afterwards.
This is my favourite.

Toothpaste. If it's good for your gob then it's good for your car.

I've used it too. It did a good job, you just need something to replace the uv protection.
