Short. To the point. Helpful. I like the old youtube
I'm glad you found the video helpful!
@@chrisfix I liked you videos. I'm watching this right now. How much can this method stay clean before it come in old condition.
@@rebortjoel1856 it depends on the wax u choose not the method of cleaning
Now there’s tiktok lmao
Omm vidoes be bout 20 min for sum simple
Absolute craziness, I use headlight restoration kits to clean my teeth.
lol
lol
more like teeth restoration paste lol
Hahaha
They're probably healthier without the damned fluoride in them. I quit using toothpaste and switched to plain peroxide and baking soda. After 5 years my gums have grown back and my teeth aren't painfully sensitive to cold anymore. Did you know fluoride is a toxic byproduct of smelting aluminum? Good for your teeth I guess, but poisonous everywhere else.
Oh the places you'll go. This was 8 Years ago, buffing headlights with toothpaste. Today, posting significant body work DIY videos that give us all confidence to work on our own vehicles. Amazing work dude!
Crazy right? The key is to never stop trying and learning
Hey man. How was your experience? I'm planning to do it this weekend. Worth a try?
@@fouziashahzad3892 it works but it’s by no means a long term solution. He has another video where he uses a different technique to make it last much longer. It’s a little more expensive, but if done right, will last you several months if not longer. The key is, one your headlights are nice and clear, clean them often along with the rest of the car and apply good wax to them. Preventative care is the best solution to anything car related.
@@Some-day125 right. Thank you so much
@@chrisfix 1:44 LOL😂😂😂
Thank you so much, I did this and am amazed at the difference, just WOW! I am a 65 year old and my eyes are not as good as they used to be, now I can't wait until it gets dark so I can see how much better the light is! Thank you young man for sharing your wisdom, be blessed!
4 out if 5 mechanics recommend Colgate.
You should patented that..😁
@@Frances_P jajajajajajajjajajajajaj lpm
@@Don_Cuper you like that one? Didnt realize how funny it was.until now..lol
Idk why but i actually loled on this comment 🔥
the trick doctors dont want you to know!
I spent half an hour searching for dental floss in my house. When I finally found some I continued the video and then he says it was a joke...
I thought it was cute that he needed dental floss.. (not 4 real) . . It was a good video. . I enjoyed the touch of humor. Thank u
Your dentist must not like you if it took you that long to find floss 😂
Michael Hummel rip :(((
🤣🤣🤣
Michael Hummel 😂😂😂😂
Bringing out the floss was good….you got me….I was like, “how is he going to use that?”
i know really!
This fixed worked great after doing that to my headlights I could clearly see the rear end of the 18-wheeler I slammed into with no problem
Ha ha ha!
Lol 😂
Those dang 18 wheelers love their pranks. You're just cruisin' along doing 120ks (I'm an Aussie...no miles used here) then BAM!! They jump out from behind a tree for laughs. Gets ya every time😶

The dental floss part was hilarious
I got confused
I seen him pull that shit out and I was like wtf he bout to do with this lol
no it wasn't. I was thinking "Is he kidding?"
Right! I was like wth is he gonna do with the floss? Weird! Lmao
When he pulled out the dental floss I was like" this ain't for me" I LMAO when he said it wasn't necessary 🤣🤣
Now those headlights if you sell them they are in mint condition.
hahahahaha
Clever
You crazy...😂😂😂
Angel ! Good one ! 👏👏👏
*Rimshot*
"Why are you buying so much toothpaste?" - "Well, you know, I cannot see properly at night."
I just tried this today. Picked up Colgate toothpaste with peroxide and baking soda, at the dollar tree. Scrubbed it all over my Corollas headlights with a tooth brush. And they're a lot more clear now + took out most of the yellowing. Thank you!
This may sound funny but to keep them clear and keep them looking great for much longer avoid parking facing the sun. It's the sun that oxidizes them. So, when you are out and about, park in the shade or a garage or just not front facing the sun in a parking lot or work. It will save them from getting hazy for much longer.
When you’re checking the comments to see if this actually works but everyone’s talking about the floss joke
i did it and the result was worth the try 🙂🙂
suvaash pandey that BBC duu i dent say it worked though lol
Ikr🥱😡
It will work if it is a vid from chrisfix
I just did it. Both front headlights took less that 10 minutes with a drill brush. Amazing how easy it was
The dental floss joke was pretty damn good 😂😂
Ya
Yeah... I posted how it worked for me and my headlights smell minty fresh !! lol
Lol
yeah he got me there XD
Hahaha, it was funny...
I absolutely will have to agree with You Chris this trick actually does indeed work, Thank You for the very affordable trick with great results!!!
Works great. It cleared the fog from the headlight cover, no need to spend x amount on a professional kit. Thanks Chris, you are awesome!
My mother-in-laws toothbrush worked a treat
foekist the fact that he hearted your comment after 4 years means something special
Reacher damn he sure did
foekist 🤣🤣🤣
foekist lmfao
Foockin made may day man
I did this and my car was more socially confident around other cars😂
Lol
I'm about to do it with my headlights too ... I hope my car gets a confidence rise up to pick some female cars... Lol
😂😂😂
HAHAHAHAHA
@@filipemaia4286 🤣
This is amazing. I was gonna replace my headlights. Now it looks like new. No sanding or additional work required.
Love this video, got my first car and lights where yellow, saw this video and now it’s basically all cleared. Definitely helpful👍
I tried this, but now my toothbrush tastes funny
Scotland Stewart/// How-to's, Drones, and More! That's why you save retired toothbrushes for "do it yourself" projects!
Wtf.... never seen anybody so smart in my life😁😐
That why you use your wife's toothbrush
Scotland Stewart/// How-to's, Drones, and More! 😂😂👍
Scotland Stewart/// How-to's, Drones, and More! Lmao why would you use your toothbrush after washing your headlights from a dirty car I guess there's a first time for everything but still why (starts thinking about trying it)
Toothpaste can clean everything but tooth.
That's completely true
Maybe because you don’t brush your teeth at all ya half sucked mango 😂
@@DarkZeroNemesis1 you're a filthy piece of shit
Some tooth paste can scratch up your enamel and cause fading
It worked for me
Fantastic idea and very cost effective. I shall be working on mine immediately. Thanks 🙏
Its amazing how well this simple trick works. It seems like I bought new headlights. Thanks!
Hey...This worked for me. It might not be 100% but lords it made a difference!!
You gotta put some elbow grease into it and work it around with the tooth brush... but hey.. its works.
If the oxidation is inside well, no. Might not help.
Just give it a try. I used Dollar General brand tooth paste with baking soda...mixed it in a bowl with extra baking soda...a tiny bit of water to make a paste.
Rubbed it on and added a spritz of water as I used the tooth brush.
Wiped it off and sprayed it... now both head lights are clean!!
AND smell minty fresh!!
Thanks for the tip! If this 54 yr old lady can do this...you can too!
This was helpful. I liked the humor. My husbands toothbrush worked great.
Haha, your hubby is a lucky guy. A wife with a sense of humor that watches car videos. Nice.

Kayci Visalli Make sure you use his toothbrush to "clean" your toilet bowl first - then give him back his toothbrush!😁😆🤣😄

Super helpful! I def needed that trick to keep our rides safe during the darker hours! Very much appreciated that you took a time tonshare this video and knowledge.
The 7.3K dislikes are the people who don't brush their teeth.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I cant see dislike
@@abdurrehmangalaxy5183 RUclips changed it now so that you can't see the amount of dislikes anymore. I'm actually glad they did that. It's actually a very smart move. That will save the comment section from conflict.
Dentist: Do you floss?
Me: Nah, Chrisfix said we don’t need it.
lol!!
use a dremel bro
C. Oh ok well well that’s that’s what 😮 zi
Yeah das auto god
LOL
Hey Chris. I tried this, but also used a vinegar and water solution, and it worked. My headlights look almost new. Thank you so much, I just go back from inspection and for a change no problem with the lights. 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🥃🥃🥃
My headlights literally look so beautiful 😭! Thank youuu!¡!! My toothpaste didn't have any grit to it so I sprinkled baking soda on it to help agitate. Came out like yours!! 🥲👍🏽
Dude thats really nice of you to have all these videos to help people out with stuff,thats the best karma out there,you do good things and you get good things in return.
My car is finally free of cavities thanks Chrisfix

trippin
Positive vibes hahahaha

roel legaspi hi!!

Worked well for me. I also used a dishwasher tablet. It's gritty and has cleaning products in built. Fabulous result😊
Since finding your channel I've saved hundreds on simple things I can do at home such as this.Thanks Chris fix
P.S I'm telling everyone I know about your vids and how great they are👍🏻
I got a good laugh when you pulled out the dental floss, lol. Thanks for showing us this trick

Thanks again Chrisfix for all the super clean tutorials! My Supra actually looks like a drift car now!

Not gonna lie, I yelled out WHAT THE FUCK pretty loud when I saw you pull out the dental floss lol

'Grab your dental floss' had me like... Um ok...? XD
Your videos are great. Not a mechanic, but I have saved lots of money following your tutorials. Thanks
It works!! I used Colgate triple action with baking soda. Thanks for the tip 🙏
Great tip and wonderfully done video! Chris makes you feel like you can do it!! His done to earth personality and humor are an added benefit, love it!
This process works great. I just cleaned my headlights using toothpaste w/ baking soda & peroxide, and a Dobie pad to scrub them. They look brand new, and it makes a huge difference in improving vision. If I need to use high beams, it's like driving in the daytime.
I tried this today and it really worked! Thank you so much!
Damn! Gets the headlights nice and clear. Smells great too!
Tried this on my Boeing 747 , needed 2 tubes and a ladder but worked great now I can see where I am going , thanks mate
U HAVE A FRICKIN' BOEING 747!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

This is great method my friend .... uve actually used toothpaste to clean my jewelry ... very powerful
I just tried a different methods for polishing headlights this weekend. I have yet to try to the old toothpaste polish method yet.
I will normally do a full restoration for my customers but on the weekends i like to play around at the local salvage yards and try different products and methods. Your videos are much appreciated by us all. Thanks for the great videos. You just gained a new subscriber.
This is honestly my favorite auto or car RUclips channel
Thanks!
Crisfix is officially my favorite car channel. Dude the detail and work u put into these are amazing. I just did the headlight restoration on the bummer and they look great but it did start to drizzle. See what they look like when dry. Either way you are representing so man of us enthusiasts that don't have huge budgets. Hope you got to motorcycles a as well someday. Thanks for everything brother
Just literally going he found your ch. I needed 2 find out how 2 clean headlights and so I searched it and you were the num.1 video.
I'm soooooo glad I clicked on your video and got introduced to this amazing trick .
Your channel will definitely be very useful for someone such as myself. I'm ALWAYS looking to find new inventive ways to clean, fix or do random things.
So AGAIN thanks so much 4 such helpful information.
I'm going to go try this right now I'll cross my fingers and hope it works out 4 me.. I'll DEF update my comment if it in facts works as well as your video shows it does .
Awesome and really stoked 2 try this out..
👍👍‼️‼️
this is the easiest way to restore headlight. thanks a lot bro
LMAO, the dental floss thing was actually really funny
Leonardo Aldecocea haha, glad you got a kick out of it!
LMAO!! I thought that was funny as well!!
That's what you call "mint" condition😂😂
hahaha yessss!!!
omg i love this! LMAO
ChrisFix Wow this vid came out 5 years ago and you still reply to comments, this is madness
You get a silver sir!
Ba dum tss
Spent 20 bucs on a kit previously. This worked way better! Thks Chris!😊
Brilliant! Worked a charm, and saved me a fortune.
U got me with the floss. 😁 I was like what he bout to do with the floss?
Me too...lol
Quality dentistry joke 👌
Me too girl
Diamond and Glitter Princess same haha
Diamond and Glitter Princess wys!!
Did this yesterday (Nov '19), worked exactly as you showed. Very little effort, great result. no more than 5 min work per side. Thanks!
Just tried it - it works great. Thanks 👍
Just did this , took only about 5 minutes per and now my headlights look alot better now, thanks Chris
Yes it works! The headlight feels smoother and it took away the yellow but still looking hazy. I let it sit for several minutes and scrubbed with a toothbrush. I do recommend rinsing it off instead of wiping off.
I was a little sceptical at first but gave it a go. Even during the brushing I was like ummm but as soon as I washed the headlight bam!! Just like a bought one. This totally works 100%. I used normal white toothpaste and added baking powder to it. Very happy! Thanks for the vid tip mate!
I will give this a go. Toothpaste is a great cleaner for so many things. I used it to clean an old whiteboard and it looked brand new.
I did this on my 14 year Toyota Sienna. It worked awesomely! Thanks for the excellent and short video!
I remember when toothpaste fixed my hella skratch ps2 disc
Lol i swear. This shit works 😏
Mr.CheeseCake omg I remember doing that too😂
Yes!!
My gamecube discs 👌😭
Mr.CheeseCake now I pay DLC’s for my PlayStation who uses CD’s anymore
It works a lot better with a tire brush. I had really dirty headlights and I used this method and it worked really great. Thank you man
Thanks very much for the info Chris. This worked better then I expected and took me 5 minutes to do both headlamps. I added baking soda to toothpaste since the paste wasn't very gritty. I have a 20 year old car and it has sat for years directly in the sun. It is only the driver side that gets sunlight, so it was really foggy (they don't test for headlamps in DMV anymore, so it was never an issue for inspection). But someone at work mentioned it (I barely noticed). It looks brand new. I will have to do it again once I get the clear coat spray (I am not sure I am going to bother with the other method using sand paper)
Did you try wax?
The shop wants to charge me $200 to clean my headlights so I'm going to try this for starters. Even if you have to repeat it every year or 4 months it's worth it!
Works pretty well! I cleaned with alcohol before and after, that way you're not just rubbing around grime and so the wax sticks better.
Nice....
HAHA on the dental floss.

Sweetness, that was cool Chris, good tip for folks on a budget. Thanks for another great video. I might copy you on this one lol
Thanks a lot!
very helpful, after so many years later. dont stop what you do.
Thanks Chris, I seriously doubted how this would work but gave it a go, Wow the advice worked so well, the warm water was the key getting off the well scrubbed toothpaste mixture and buffing with paper towels then applied a wax then buffed that off for protection.
What type of wax did you use?
laughed harder than I should've at the floss part

Yeah, me too. It shouldn't be that funny, but is.
Excellent Video. Concise and to the point. One of the best "how to" vids I've ever seen.Great Job!!
another great method and they look so much better is wet sanding them with very fine grit and then spraying a clear coat enamel over them ...looks amazing
Dude! This rocks. People pay $60-100 to get their headlights clearer. Well done.
When he said dental floss I was like, duh fuk 😅
Good to see this, my father taught me this when I was younger.
Thank you so much! My headlights are super yellow. Can't wait to try it when I get home :)
This actually does work! I also heard a rumor a similar method also works for yellow teeth. I have some friends I need to let in on the news.
Thank you for doing this! After showing this to my grandparents i tried it on my grandpa's car. He didn't think it would work but it did!
Great work ! Thanks to you I changed the entire front suspension on my 2008 malibu. Thanks Chris!
My eyes popped out when you pulled out the dental floss!🤣😂Thanks for the info and making me laugh,i will try out this trick!
I just did this with some children’s Tom’s of Maine toothpaste and it worked instantly and perfectly. Thanks so much!
Great, thank you! I’m definitely going to try this method. The floss part was hilarious by the way 😆
Organised and concise tutorial. Experienced and effective teacher!
