I'm working on a couple old WD headlights and want to know what you guys use to clean and polish the reflectors. These are not just dirty, but seem to have a charcoal stain. I tried a little soft scrub in a small area and it did pretty good but may not be the best for the reflective surface.
Any IDEAS? Thanks, Charile

Those reflectors are silver plated. I use a silver polish like Silvo and they usually clean up fine.
