I'd go with P21S. Best d*mn thing I've ever seen. It will clean off even
year-old brake dust without too much effort, and it's very gentle on the clear
coat finish. It's rather expensive, $20/liter, but that lasts me all spring/
summer/fall.

It's not easy to find a place that carries it; I can't find the number
for them (to locate a distributor) but I do know you can mail-order it
from Wilco Sales, 716-442-7050; about $24 delivered.

Should be straight forward. The bulbs are just socketed in the rear, though
you may have to remove things like the battery cover, etc. to get there.
