Cleaning foggy plastic is important for both aesthetic and functional reasons. Foggy plastic headlights, for instance, can diminish your ability to see when driving at night, while foggy plastic cups and blenders are unsightly. To clean foggy plastic, wipe it down first with a mixture of soap and water. If that doesn’t help, you could soak or wipe away the fogginess with a combination of vinegar, baking soda, and possibly water. Seriously foggy headlights might require sanding and polishing using a handheld rotary sander-polisher.
