I clean the battery contacts with alcohol, wash out the glass globe and reflector in the bottom and fully charge the batteries with a relatively inexpensive rechargeable battery charger before reinstalling in the fixture. Rechargeable batteries are rated from 500 to 1500 recharge cycles, so the charger is worth the cost.

I am going to give this a try. I have some lights on my pool deck that are left on all year round and noticed the film covering the lens as well. Well done Russ.

Thanks for the video. Over the years I have tossed out many and wish I hadn’t at this point. Live and learn!

I have a load of solar lights. I clean them yearly. I’ve found to clean the solar panels that I use a erazor sponge or Brillo pad to clear off the residual. Rinse with water. Done! I’ve been trying to learn how to clean them for years.

Thanks, that is a really good tip. I will keep this in mind. 👍

Nice job Russ! I don't have solar lights but if I run into someone who needs to restore their old solar lights I'll show them the video!

Looks great! I decided to try ceramic/glass cooktop cleaner on one of mine. It cleaned and cleared it right up.
-
Nice video, at some point I want to get some of those solar lights for the front.

The same process works for clouded auto headlights - wet sand, polish and seal.

Sounds like you’re friends with Mare of Easttown

Windex leaves a film, good luck for your spray to stick well
-
You need to have a more close up view of your demonstrations.
-
Fingernail polish remover works just as well and a lot less work!
