Repel with 40% deet

[Frodo]

I learned something today, did you know that if you spray your headlights with Rapel mosquito repellent with 40% deet. Then wipe with a clean rag with elbow grease, the white Haze will go away

This was white a couple of hours ago
I sprayed then rubbed
Repeated 1 time

I wondered why I would have adverse reaction to the heavy deet stuff.

Because it is poison?
I wonder what some good alternatives might be. Avon Skin so Soft is supposed to be a good mosquito repellent, but it is more of a lotion, I think.

Let us know how long it'll last! A few heavy rains will give it a test. I'm wondering if the chemicals act as a cleaner or polish.

I'm addicted to deet! It works? Remember when it was banned, now it's 40% ??? What the heck??

Yep- also hand sanitizer works good for for build up in your cars exterior. It'll strip everything off safely just make sure you rinse it good and protect it with some wax when you're done.

My experience was Avon Skin so Soft was more like a ...sauce... than a lotion let alone a repellent..

A small sprits of Deet product will kill a thistle with in the hour..

Skin so soft is the only thing I have found that will allow you to sit outdoors in Florida at night and not have your ankles eaten alive. By no-see-ums

Oil of Citronella is great for mosquitoes, chiggers, and flies!! Oh, and fleas!!

I am a mosquito magnet. DEET is the only thing that works.

Ya know, we have two older vehicles. Our headlights have never turned hazy. I wonder if keeping the car in the shed has anything to do with it?

I also know that you don't want to get DEET mosquito repellent anywheres near two objects that you might have on you: plastic eyeglass lenses (prescription and sunglasses), as well as wristwatches with plastic bevels.
