    Brake fluid on headlights??

    As I was polishing my headlights yesterday,the lawn crew foreman walked up to me and said wiping them with brake fluid would do the same thing. Anyone else heard of this? I always thought brake fluid & some plastics didn't play together well.

    Brake fluid and most things don't play well together. I think this ranks in the "Just because it's a thing you CAN do, doesn't mean it's a thing you SHOULD do" category. There was recently another thread where people covered all the other random things people rub on their headlights.

    Are the headlamp lenses polycarbonate?

    PSA:
    Polycarbonates are not chemically
    resistant to brake fluid.

    Brake fluid "works" on headlights because it melts the plastic.
