Use Toothpaste as a Mild Polish

2

Description

Regular white toothpaste contains mild abrasives that can sometimes polish away very light hazing or yellowing on headlight lenses.

Recipe/Instructions

  1. Clean the headlights thoroughly.
  2. Apply a generous amount of regular white toothpaste (not gel) directly onto the lens.
  3. Use a damp cloth or sponge to scrub the toothpaste vigorously across the lens in circular or back-and-forth motions for several minutes.
  4. Rinse the headlight thoroughly with water and dry it with a clean cloth.
  5. Inspect the clarity. Repeat if necessary.
  6. Note: This method is less effective than dedicated kits for moderate to heavy oxidation. Applying a UV sealant afterward is still recommended for longer-lasting results.
