Headlamp Internal Cleaning

That is around 95% Ethanol, then around 5% Methanol, with a trace of taste inhibitor like Bittrex or Pyridine to stop folk drinking it.

Sounds like the "Swedish White Whiskey" I was given on my first visit there....
:-X

Don't drink Methanol, you WILL go blind.

dental cleaner pills, the ones that start to bubble and fizzle when grandpa puts them together with his teeth in a glass of water before he goes to sleep.

I knew a girl that used a similar product, but for upset stomach .............. she never used a glass of water though, rather, inserted the pills before sex.
Curious, but oddly affective ....... so I'm told

Berocca might cause some second looks...??????????.!!!!!!!

Hmmmmm ...... denture cleaner tablets here ..... I bet that if you used them as you say but rinsed with methanol (methylated spirits) that would remove all the water. Then a session with the hair dryer to finish off.
I have a Japanese headlamp I shall try that on first ...... see if I can start a fire!

Jim, I have used water for rinsing, as I was not sure about ethanol probably messing up the seal between lens and reflector. Anyway, I'd recommend to make a test with that methyl, or whatever the stuff is named at your place, just to make sure that it evaporates off a clean surface w/o leaving any stains.

Denatured alcohol is what we used in hospital for cleaning mirrors, windows and stainless surfaces. I presume it doesn't leave too many traces.

It's not used anymore because some patients would steal it for their personnal use.

But it would help with your bb bounce.

I thought hospitals use isopropyl alcohol for that sort of thing, as in Isowipes.

Used, as in past tense.
Now they would.
