More Tips for Headlight Restoration

In addition to cleaning your headlights with toothpaste, there are other quick and easy methods worth considering. Many drivers choose to use vinegar, baking soda, or a combination of both to get their headlights sparkling clean.

• Choose either a toothbrush or a microfiber cloth to rub either items or a mixture of the two onto the headlight lens.
• Rinse and repeat as often as necessary to clear away the dirt and grime that has built up over time.
• Once the headlight is dry, a coat of waxing compound can be applied. Simply buff the waxing compound like you would buff the vehicle.

Although the abrasiveness of the baking soda is great for removing dirt, this method is not ideal for cleaning headlights that have been severely oxidized.
