    Let me explain something to you guys. The toothpaste has a mild grit to it, its taking a thin layer of plastic off of your head lights. They make head light repair kits that work alot better. (obviously) You'll completely destroy the head light with heavy grit sand paper, then get finer and finer until your polishing it. The toothpaste idea was a goof that actually worked.. Results may vary. Having people mock me is upsetting, because I did this to prove to you that it actually works.. and it clearly does. If I did it again, I bet it would have looked better the second time around... And enough with the bird... Its a mocking bird.. And it was defending her nest making that racket...lol

      Haven't tried idea yet but you did a great job explaining how to do it. Reading the comments makes me think some people don't know how to appreciate nature by complaining about the birds and some people commented how much they liked listening to the birds and told you so, I also enjoyed the chirps and you wrote a very good nice comment back. Thanks.

    The abrasives in the toothpaste seem to be just right for the initial treatment of that badly deteriorated headlight housing. However, further improvement is possible, using the same technique a second time, this time with a clear plastic cleaner such as Meguiar's PlastX (at Walmart etc). The abrasives in a clear plastic cleaner are finer, and will further improve the result (a finer polish).

    If people mocked you then "F" them! The results speak for themselves. To remove the toothpaste I used the 'gritty ' side of a common kitchen sponge with the sponge on one side and an abrasive on the other. Worked great! It took 5 minutes and the results were fantastic! Thanks and great tip!

The 1st round looked wonderful. Went ahead and repeated the process as before and now it looks brand new !!! Plan on hitting the other one tomorrow. Thanks again !

  • @walterbkeen
    @walterbkeen 10 років тому +16

    FYI, the haze is a product of the OEM coating breaking down. This coating has a UV inhibitor that prevents the plastic lens from effectively dry rotting and becoming brittle. Hence those little micro-fractures in the plastic you will see that form after prolonged use of polishes and compounds like this that simply smooth the surface but provide no protection to the plastic underneath from the sun.
    It is far better to simply replace the UV inhibitors by repainting the lenses with a good quality clear coat by removing the headlights or taillights, wet sanding with 1000 grit, and painting the lenses with a good clear coat. Sound complicated but it isn't.
    Use 3-4 even coats of Krylon Fusion Clear Gloss or Duplicolor Acrylic Clear Gloss (Both have UV inhibitors that protect the plastic). For best results, allow the paint to cure overnight before you gently wet sand the next day with 2000 grit and polish with an automotive rubbing compound.
    Re-coated, the lenses will likely outlast the car and will require nothing more than the same coat of wax you should already be using on your cars paint.

    Toothpaste in fact does work ((I used it on my truck)) but it depends on how severe your headlights are weathered. The minivan featured in this video only suffered from oxidized lens which is pretty easy to take out with toothpaste. Now if your headlights are scratched or have hard water staining on them then toothpaste will not work and that calls for either replacing the fixture or wet sanding them.

    What I did was put toothpaste in various parts of the head light and spread the paste with a tooth bush in circular motion (dry toothbrush) after that put water on the tooth brush repeatedly while doing circular motion on the headlights. Then grab and old wet shirt/rag and rub it after that get a dry shirt/rag and whipe of all the left over paste. I got them really clear. Good video btw.

    Partially correct. In order to make it work (it does!!!) you need to use water together with the toothpaste.

    Has the yellowness came back after a while? If so how long does it take for the yellow haze to come back?

    Great tip. I just saw at the dealership the other day that they will clean your headlights for you and it would only cost $40 for one, or a bargain $70 for both! What a rip-off!

    Thanks Joe. I bought some special stuff to remove the haze but your results prove that there are cheaper alternatives. I have read that baking soda and vinegar with a little dish soap work also.

    so, if you have a turning light or head light that is foggy and you rub tooth paste on it, does it make brighter at night?

    • @Joeteck

    I was sceptical but i used the principle of creamy microabrasive creams and used CIF (UK) as my wifes Citreon C3 failed MOT on the amount of light coming through headlight that was yellow. It absolutely got rid of the Yellowing and then a polish sealed the deal. Lovely Jubbly.
