Most Effective and Economical Way of Cleaning the S70 Headlight Reflectors S70

I feel intimidated by the fact that everyone keep telling me how delicate the vapour deposited chrome finish is on the reflectors and how careful I have to be when I need to clean them.

I also understand the application of windex and other form of cleaning solutions are a "no no" for the reflectors. After going thru some articles in the net, I also understand that I am suppose to use only distilled water.

If you have cleaned the relfectors and they are still ok after about a year, surely the method works. Can you please help me out and describe the method used?

Thanks.

    I just used a soft damp cloth and the results were awesome.
    Just be careful. I applied too much pressure at the projector lenses and teared apart the aiming adjustment system of one headlight. Had a hard time assembling the loosen parts again.
    Its been a year since I cleaned the chrome projectors, no problems other than the above mentioned.
