just bought a set of white headlight surroundings on eBay
in general they're in good condition, but they're not really white ...
they've that typical "old and grey" touch as well as some color overspray

now I wonder what's the best way to get them clean white without distroying their surface
and without overspraying with white color
I'd love to keep the original white plastic look ...

any experiences?
