I don't see any issue with using brake cleaner on them. As far as them looking like new, I think that would depend on their condition. Are you talking about 2ga or 2gb fog lights?
for real tough stuff, i use it straight from the concentrate bottle (same product just avaliable in a concentrate)
if the glass has too many rock chips in it, you might be better off replacing them if you want them to look nice.
there are a few companies that make "Headlight Protectant Film" that you can get for generic / universal application. when that gets marked up you peal it off and add a new one.

foggy, is there a painted surface on the 2gb fog lights or are they like the 2ga in which the glass is removable?
the 2GB's are more like a std set of projectors with a lens and a plastic shroud. however they can be disasembled.
i guess if you disassembled them and just cleaned the lens with brake cleaner then you would be fine. i just assumed that he would be doing this while it was on the car, and i had bad images of it trashing the paint on the front bumper hence why i recomended my product.
