I've not tried R4 headlight reflector cleaning, but have found other reflectors can be very delicate, and scratch with a finger-touch. Those were more modern though

Thanks for that. I very gently wafted a puffed piece of kitchen roll at it and decided that was enough. testing when dark.

I did it with rice and alcohol, obviously dismounting the lights from the car and shaking
Sure come reflector can be quite delicate, especially when ageing, so if you're thinking about doing it's at your own risk.

That sounds like a drink from South America..... I had this problem a few years ago & used a firm called "The Genius Of The Lamp", who refurbished my headlamps for me. It's not cheap, but the results are spectacular!

I cleaned my headlights with glass cleaner. Removed them, removed bulb and sprayed cleaner inside. Then I took a soft microfiber cloth and cleaned inside with it. Result was amazing, just like I bought a brand new ones

Have done same thing as MarioZG..
Be careful doing it, as edge where you push fingers thru is sharp and can easily cut your finger while you wipe with cloth
