captainkool4 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I have a big stain on my headlight plastic, not sure where it came from or what it is but soap and water won't remove it. Picture: Imgur IMGUR.COM Post with 0 views. Any idea what this is? Or how to remove it? The only way to get that plastic piece OEM is to order the entire headlight assembly. Can't drive around with this stain, any advice greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topazsparrow Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 are you the original owner? Looks like someone spilled brake clean or some kind of solvent there and it's oxidized the plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElGonzales Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Yes, or check the front master cylinder assembly to see if brake fluid is running down the handlebar or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Evill_Ed Posted March 18, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted March 18, 2019 This looks like brake cleaner (or brake fluid) damage. I had the same think happen tot he carbon look on my front fender, turned milky white after getting hit with brake cleaner. I took a cotton cloth (T Shirt) and dampened t with Acetone. I lightly swiped the area in one direction with lite pressure a few times, allowing it to dry a minute or so between swipes. It got rid of the milky look, but the area is a little different looking than the rest (see front of fender in picture), but it went from ruined to usable for me. You could also repaint it with something like SEM Trim Black. Ed "Do not let this bad example influence you, follow only what is good" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo10 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I wonder if T-Cut is worth trying on a small part of it? Just do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member norcal616 Posted March 19, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted March 19, 2019 Cut some carbon fiber or colored vinyl out and cover both sides of headlight... Or sand the headlight housing down and paint it a color you like... 2015 fz-07- Hordpower Edition...2015 fj-09- 120whp- Graves Exhaust w/Woolich Race Kit- tuned by 2WDW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beemer Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 As others mentioned, paint. It's also the cheapest fix. Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
