For more severe oxidized headlights, I start with Bon Ami, then I move to the toothpaste which, serves as a finer abrasive. I move to fine sandpaper when I feel no resistance while sanding. I rinse the headlight, dry it, apply car wax and I'm done. I will try the WD-40 next time. I'm not clear what polishing agent you used, but I'll look into it. Very close to my method. Thanks.

I’m glad I’m not the only one to catch that the toothpaste isn’t needed. You don’t need the “abrasive particles” of the toothpaste if you’re using sandpaper
Seems like even if it's not necessary, it's a good 2 in 1 scrubbing effect. Not sure why to purposely exclude it. Unless you have good reason I'm missing (I'm not very car maintenance savvy)
@ You can achieve the same finish doing everything in the video without using toothpaste, and just using water and sandpaper instead. But it has to be wet/dry sand paper. You start with about 220P then move up in grit from there. You can start at a finer grit by using a polishing compound that is actually made for polishing headlights with sandpaper. Toothpaste is expensive, where the actual compound, while it costs more than toothpaste, can be used multiple times unlike the full tube per headlight in the video. But the compound is still not necessary.
@@iammelon7803 You answered your own question. The toothpaste tapers down the 1000 grit he started with. we all have a lot of toothpaste at home already but not the other compound you're talking about. Basically, toothpaste paired with 1000+ grit sandpaper is a great engineering solution to reduce friction which could scratch the light while sanding for this case. Results are excellent.
I went out, purchased what I needed from Home Depot and CVS Pharmacy. I may have done it longer than shown. About 30 minutes. And these lamps were horrible. And now...WOW!!! Not like brand new, but pretty damn close. Try it, you will be amazed!!

Чтобы ваши новые фары были всегда такими и не тускнели, рекомендую сразу обклеить (забронировать) прозрачной авто пленкой, аналогичной той, которую клеют на дверные авто стекла. Это же можно сделать и сразу после такой реставрации фар и вы забудите об этой працедуре в дальнейшем . Я так сделал и фары уже 6 лет, как новые и ещё плёнка защищает пластик фар от сколов при попадании камушков . Я из России.
It took them 40 attempts to get their water displacing formula to work, but on the 40th attempt, they got it right in a big way. WD-40 Multi Use Product was born. WD-40 stands for Water Displacement, 40th formula. That’s the name straight out of the lab book used by the chemist who developed the product. The first company to use WD-40 Multi-Use Product commercially was Convair, an aerospace contractor, to protect the outer skin of the Atlas Missile from rust and corrosion. The product worked so well that several employees snuck cans of WD-40 Multi-Use Product out of the plant in their lunchboxes to use at home.

I remember when headlights were made of glass. They were brighter and cheaper too. And let's not forget a lot easier to replace and adjust.
And left glass shards on the highway after an accident.
A lot easier to replace? All you have to do is turn the bulb out put a new one in and and no adjustment needed.
