Headlight Advice

Most people like to get there car washed at their local car wash. Recently there has been a quite a lot of clients who think they have had acid thrown on their headlights which makes the headlights white & bubbly & can also leave white streaks. With further investigation it seems car wash places are using FTAA25 a very strong Acid Based Alloy wheel cleaner liquid which is very acidic on plastic headlights.

Be sure to tell the car wash attendants DO NOT PUT acidic alloy wheel degreaser anywhere other than the wheels. FTAA25 will burn through headlights & the damage is irreversible.

  • If your car does fail its MOT due to it`s headlights, please do not take the advise of the garage & buy new headlights which can run into the hundreds of pounds plus fitting cost. Contact Skippy`s first to see if we can restore the headlights so the vehicle may pass its MOT.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals to clean your car if you must please cover the headlights as chemicals made for steel & aluminum can cause trouble for modern plastic headlights.
