    Did it ever occur to anyone that just because you are using toothpaste doesn't mean you have to use a toothbrush to apply it? A bigger brush would make the job a lot easier and faster.

    This could work well for narrow headlights such as those on the 2009-2014 Acura TL. Also, those TL headlights have a groove on the bottom that’s difficult to reach with a normal circular buffing pad. The narrow profile of the toothbrush could work well for that. 🔥

  • @barredgrounddove
    @barredgrounddove 5 місяців тому

    The process is correct but when buffing the headlight it's better to use a microfiber towel rather than a paper towel to do the job because paper may be abrasive towards the headlight and cause sctratches on the plastic.

      It can help a little. A friend of mine used it. Didn't look as nice as the restoration kits I bought. The kits take longer to do as well and have sprays at the end, so you have to tape off and cover a lot of the surrounding paint areas. I'd try the sanding ones that are followed with chemical wipes so you don't deal with accidental over spray. That's my next try.

      I just did it with Colgate triple action toothpaste, its a blue/white paste, and friend of mine said Colgate is the best toothpaste for this job lol, and i already use it at home so it didnt cost me a buck. However I didn't use any water with toothpaste, i was to lazy to watch yt lol. I just applied toothpaste with a tooth brush over the whole headlight and let it dry for a bit. And than I took soft cloth and moved with a firm pressure circularly for about 5-10 mins. At that point I took a clean part of the cloth and wiped the toothpaste residuals. Some foggy spots remained so i applied toothpaste on that spots again and repeated the job. I would say my headlights are not new but they are at 65% comparing with the new ones lol.
