toothpaste works great on headlight lenses. might give it a good brushing and see. then give it a coat of silacone car polish. works great on windshields for easy bug removal. lee

thnk you, ill give it a shot and let you know how it works.

The specs say it has a glass lens. Some toothpaste is abrasive. Have you tried just a damp soft cloth (cotton)? If not some glass cleaner on the cloth. If that doesn't work then perhaps something more aggressive
I cleaned my Streamlight that way.
