I cleaned my air pods with a Q Tip and isopropyl alcohol. Now I have some static in both pods. Is there anything I can do to restore them to good health?
Best thing to do is wait for a couple of days.
You might have gone overboard with the alcohol, some may have gotten inside.
It may dry on its own or the speaker may be damaged.
Hi Jay! My name is Tyler, I would be more than happy to help you out today.
I understand that your AirPods have been damaged by alcohol. First, it’s important to see if your AirPods are the first gen, 2nd gen, or AirPods Pro. The 1st gen are not rated to be water resistant at any level, the 2nd are not either to what I understand, but the AirPods Pro are to a certain extent.
I am surprised that there was damage because of this no matter the gen. What I would recommend is this article:

If that doesn’t help, then I would talk to Apple Supoort by chat or phone to arrange a repair/replacement.
Best of luck!
Tyler.
