    Ive heard of this many times but never tried it, today I did as I have mot test coming up and foggy lights can fail it.
    It worked surprisingly well at first, the difference between before and after was big, but after the lenses dried of a little they weren't as clear but still better than before cleaning.

    A paper towel is the worst thing to use on headlights as it leaves behind scratches in the plastic. Use a terrycloth rag for best shine.

    • @JunkyDIYguy
      @JunkyDIYguy  7 лет назад +1

      First make sure, the oxidation is on the outside of the headlight. because if it, is natural discoloration of the plastic from inside, then this method won't work. If it is outside like mine, and the toothpaste doesn't take em off, then try this, this will definitely work ruclips.net/video/tFEnsKjv2Og/видео.html

    All the toothpaste does is hold the grit on, like baking soda, or if it is already in the toothpaste.

    Tooth paste works on teeth nicely but its abrasive qualities will damage and remove the protective UV layer on the average plastic headlight.
    This is a old shade tree mechanic trick that has long been proven damaging to the surface of the lens the safest fastest method is an acrylic lens deoxidizer

    Before applying wax I would mask around the Lens and then spray the lens twice "4~8 hours apart as per recommended for the paint" with a UV Resistant can of Clear Spray Paint, So that there wont be a need to resurface them ever again, unless you intend to keep the car for longer than 5~7 years..
