    Very sloppy "Test". The toothpaste works because it has tiny crystals inside that have a similar effect to polish or high-grit sanding paper. Applying it in that sloppy "edge" drill way would never work, it needs to be handled like polish. Use whitening toothpaste (more crystals in that) and some water, it works like a charm but only stays that way if you seal it with clear coat. It's totally not worth the hassle with kits like Sylvanna being $20 but in a pinch it WILL work. Just don't do it like ol' Cole here.

      I agree. He doesn’t seem like he gives it an honest try. It seems like he sets the experiments up to fail. I did notice he wiped down the WD-40 with a paper towel and then used the same paper towel to wipe the other areas off. This would seem like it would contaminate the other tests with oil.

      So what's an efficient way to do it all? I'm thinking I'll use tooth paste to get it clean.. Then like what kind of clear coat? Like clear coat spray paint? Or would it be best to like sand it? and does sanding only the outside work or is the sun damage on the inside?

      Tbh about it, non of this stuff really works. It’s best to take it and get it done. The guy in the video seems to just be testing some stuff out and he appears to know what he’s talking about, but definitely don’t listen to the guy from the top comment in this section. He’s definitely not telling you how to do it right. The best advice that anyone could give you, is to go have it done professionally. Mosab up there is talking about “sloppy test,” yet he’s also mentioning how “white toothpaste” has more crystals. Don’t buy into that. That dude is probably some kid in his mom’s basement.

      Yep! The toothpaste only works if you brush it with a toothbrush or some kind of a small brush and then wash it off with some clean water. This fool only applies the toothpaste onto the surface of the headlight and that’s it! What makes him think solely applying toothpaste onto anything would work? Is that how he brush his teeth by apply toothpaste into his teeth only? Without any brushing whatsoever!?

    Ive got a 2012 vehicle, and the headlights are pretty bad. I've had them professionally restored, I've used toothpaste, I've used Turtle Wax restorer, Ive used other restorers and other home methods. Most do NOT work, and the ones that do slightly work, only last about 3-6 months.
    Instead of wasting all that money on restorers, its better to just buy brand new headlights.
    I sure miss the days of glass headlights. No muss, no fuss. Just Windex and a paper towel did the trick every single time.

  • @STV-H4H

    This guy should clean the dirt and grime off first.
    Starting with the dirty surface isn’t a good way to make the test look effective.
    Using coarse abrasive steel wool is as effective as using some dirty sponge with sand on it.
    Starting the steel wool method means working your way from the beginning to the ultra fine. But I’d never waste the hours on it that such a process requires.
    Mothers msg and wheel polish was effective. But in overall, the toothpaste (first part of my attempt was a gel toothpaste, the second round when I decided to try for a more thorough treatment, I used Colgate with baking soda formula) and it was very effective.
    Took about 20-30 minutes each, plus the extra time raping off the paint around the lamp assembly.
    I wouldn’t follow this guys advice to fill my dogs water dish.

    @thegreatcerebral 6 месяцев назад +10

    So this guy has a fundamental misunderstanding of what is happening. As dirt and debris hits your headlamp it is making scratches, the longer you have it the deeper they go, just like back in the day with CDs and DVDs when you did a "repair" on them it's the same thing. You essentially have to remove surface area to make it flat again. That is the only way. Technically speaking when you use toothpaste or some of the other grinding/polishing kits/stuff what you are doing is those are "fillers" that will actually help.

    Didn't clean the buffing pad after putting wd 40 on it, probably used the wrong type of buffing pad. The key to polishing anything is how slick you can get it and it take heat to raise the scratches up to be cut out. Always us a buffing compound with the matching pad and stage up .just keep in mind to use low speed with plastic to prevent melting

    The toothpaste works better with a tooth brush and some water. I use a sprsy bottle, you don't want it to dry up. Plus you have to brush for about 5 minutes then rinse it off with water. That worked for me, but it is temporary, it lasted for about 3 weeks. So after every car wash I i now use some wd40, I spray a small micro fiber cloth and polish it as pat of the car wash. They look great good as new.

    You can use the ultra fine grade #00 steel wool. The idea is to work up in polishing. From heavier grits to finer polishes. When I say heavier grits, I do not mean very heavy grits... this is plastic after all. Start with very low grits, such as the light buffing pad on the buffer (foam, not wool, or the 00 steel wool). It's the same with any polishing.

    Genius it might work a little better if you actually put the polishing pad to the lens

    Both are short term solutions. After a couple of car washes, the yellow will come back.

    WD-40 is a solvent, not a lubricant ; removes lubricant from bearings etc

    None of these work. Use a proper headlight restoration kit like you said. The ones that have sanding discs, then use a polish. Finally spray a specific headlight clear coat.

    You forgot the "elbow grease" ingredient. :)) Do you "rep" any headlight restoration products? ...you seem a bit biased. I think spending a bit of time with WD 40 and a drill with a good brush or pad would be very effective. Afterward, UV blocking products are cheap and easily found at Walmart or any auto parts shop. Not the best test in my view.

    I suspect those videos that use WD 40 , and just spray on and wipe off and have fantastic results are. They start with a clear lense. Spray some thing that looks like a oxidized light. Then the WD 40 just wipes what was sprayed on right off. All for the purpose of making You Tube videos. You Tube viewers pass it around to their friends. More views for their channel.
