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!
@@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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
yip i agree good clip ..so let toothpaste on headlight for 5mins. use one of those scourer with sponge. wet yur scourer not the headlight. sponge. bling-bling
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.
Although Toothpaste is a great, fast, cheap, easy method to get your headlights clear, it only lasts as long as you maintain the wax on the headlight. I just developed a new method after testing different methods that will Restore your Headlights Permanently! Check it out: How to Restore Headlights PERMANENTLY
Teh Nautilus You do not want to buff the lens smooth like you do in this video. You want to have scratches for the clear coat to adhere to. If you make it smooth, the clear coat wont grab onto anything and it will peel. You can also have a problem with the paint running. Check out this video: ruclips.net/video/UEJbKLZ7RmM/видео.html
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😶
I used " Mothers Mag and Aluminum Polish " and a soft rag and rubbed in a circular motion not very long at all, and they came out like brand new ,and they were bad oxidized !
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.

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)

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 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!
Shut the freaking door!! Dude you are awesome. I did this hack to a 2002 Jeep Liberty with ugly yellow headlamps. Now they are sparkling clean. Not sure how much money you are making by posting this videos, but I pray is a lot. Thanks my man. The dental floss joke got me big time, btw! 👍🏼
Dude, this was very helpful. I thought I would have to tear my lights apart and sand from the inside. It took me 10 minutes to bring my 7 year old headlights to a shine as if they were brand spanking new. Thank you!
Still another use for baking soda based toothpaste with fluoride, seems to be as an anti-fungal cream applied for 5 days to your toe nail. I experimented with it very similar to the headlight application without whipping it off the toe-nail and applying to toothpaste to the toe nail underside, top side and working it in a little. Toe nail fungus that had been with me for several years, went away and hasn't come back for a year. I used Arm & Hammer Baking Soda Fluoride Tooth Paste. The idea is to change the pH of the toe nail with the baking soda and no doubt the fluoride helped too. Finally after a week of application, I stopped further application when the outer most layer of skin on my toe came off. Further application would have probably started an irritation. Cost of the application: 10-cents.
Hi Chris, after watching the video. Within 10 mins. I was through cleaning my headlights. However, I have decided to to take it to a higher level. Since my husband has a buffing machine. I'm going to order the sponge buffer and a better solution. I already got that clear spray I use for custom jewelry. I'm doing this all by myself. And when he see it or notice it then I will oh yeah! Real macho like. Thanks so much for both videos.
Headlights look tons better, going to try your next level headlight restoration video for a clearer look. And then onto your how to get the inside windshield crystal clear. Thanks for your how to videos!
Been using this technique since 2010. I found it semi useful. Today, I tried to restore my e-bike's dash and headlights. Used grit 2000 to sand it off. It looked so bad after I sanded it, I was certain I effed up. Was very desperate and thanks to this video I had an epiphany. Went out again, applied toothpaste and brushed it liberally for around 5 minutes. The results was fantastic. It came out better than I expected. Even better I grew bigger muscles on my arm. LOL
Hey after sanding it down it's going to look terrible you have to clean the sanded material off and then buff the area to give the shine back before you polish . Sanding will definitely have a better result but the toothpaste is a good quick fix.
@@Galaxys_Edits 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.
Just finished doing this to my headlights again after doing it a year ago, this time I had wax on hand to use and they came out amazing. Your channel has always been a great help
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
... I know this was 9 years ago, but question: for yellowing inside the headlight like the truck, could you remove the casing and do the same toothpaste thing on the inside of it?
Gennady Loves Me I know this is really old and probably won’t get a reply, but how did you save you $300 on a simple headlight restoration? That’s a bit much, isn’t it? Were you going to install new ones instead of just cleaning them? Are headlights that expensive?
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!! 🥲👍🏽
The best way to fix the plastic headlamp covers is to first use sanding paper. Start at a 220 grit then go up to 800 then to 1500. sand using spray water at all times .What you're doing is Sanding each layer smoother and smoother like prepping a car for paint . Thoroughly wash off the headlamp covers and you may want to use a Degreaser on them then washed that off. You can use Dupli-Color clear coat spray and spray three coats on waiting 20 minutes between coats. This will give you a shiny close to new appearance . You then can wax the headlight covers several hours after it dries.
What you wrote is how it should be done properly. Sure it will cost a bit more and is more time consuming, but will last much, much longer! After just brushing it with toothpaste it will soon turn back to the way it was before, maybe worse.
It would last as long as you maintain the wax, and it will usually last around a month, sometimes longer sometimes shorter. If you want to permanently make your headlights clear I would follow this video: ruclips.net/video/UEJbKLZ7RmM/видео.html
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
Wow! This method worked better than any of the so called "headlight restorer" kits that I purchased before. My headlights look like new. Thank you Chris! My only question is how often should I redo this?
I saw a video the other day where the guy rubbed his lights with 8000 grit wet sandpaper and then sprayed them with a clear coat. The result was super impressive.

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!
I have a question, where can I buy headlight fluid?
typically any hardware or autoparts store will have it. Don't forget you blinker and break light fluid!
Ha wondering when that would be asked . Nice one😂😂😂👍
Six crates of headlight fluid and elbow grease inbound now

Same place you find muffler bearings
I can confirm this actually works and works well too! Thanks Bud
I used a normal Colgate but still worked liked magic. Thumbs up👍
Can you coat it with a clear coat like you did in your other video for longer lasting results?
This actually worked really well
need fillings now
Serious question though. How long did it last you?

When he said dental floss I was like, duh fuk 😅
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!! 🥲👍🏽
The best way to fix the plastic headlamp covers is to first use sanding paper. Start at a 220 grit then go up to 800 then to 1500.
sand using spray water at all times .What you're doing is Sanding each layer smoother and smoother like prepping a car for paint .
Thoroughly wash off the headlamp covers and you may want to use a Degreaser on them then washed that off.
You can use Dupli-Color clear coat spray and spray three coats on waiting 20 minutes between coats.
This will give you a shiny close to new appearance .
You then can wax the headlight covers several hours after it dries.
Seems like all that costs more than a dollar
What you wrote is how it should be done properly. Sure it will cost a bit more and is more time consuming, but will last much, much longer! After just brushing it with toothpaste it will soon turn back to the way it was before, maybe worse.
I have so much faith in you i actually thought you were about to do something cool with the floss lmao.
The dental floss joke killed! Loved it.
+Ray Lozano glad you got a good laugh!
How long would this last and what do you mean by maintaining the wax? Do I have to reapply wax every month or something?
It would last as long as you maintain the wax, and it will usually last around a month, sometimes longer sometimes shorter. If you want to permanently make your headlights clear I would follow this video: ruclips.net/video/UEJbKLZ7RmM/видео.html
Did this yesterday (Nov '19), worked exactly as you showed. Very little effort, great result. no more than 5 min work per side. Thanks!
Be careful, might scratch your paint. Use a painter's tape and tape around the headlight to prevent scratches.
That’s actually good advice
Scratch paint with a toothbrush?
MaxAry the gritty part of the toothpaste will ruin your paint. Smartass
No wonder my teeth are all scratched 😬
@@taylorfoley4098 Don't put toothpaste on the paint ! PROBLEM SOLVED ! Your welcome !
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!!
ChrisFix in 2014: "I'm using a paper towel, a lot of pressure..."
ChrisFix in 2020: "DON'T use paper towels! I use this microfiber towel..."
The more you learn the more you see your paste mistakes
@@Longshlongjon22 I see what you did there
Chriss is good man forget yoy
Wow! Took off 20 years of oxidation from my tail light on my motorcycle. Looks like new! Thank you
Great work ! Thanks to you I changed the entire front suspension on my 2008 malibu. Thanks Chris!
I literally LOL when you brought out the floss. Well done! 👍
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
so do u have to use ur own toothbrush or can u buy a new one for the headlights
+bryce dadian stupid question
+Jimmy Washiko your a stupid question
bryce dadian your able to buy your own. i was able to find some at walmart.
Wow! This method worked better than any of the so called "headlight restorer" kits that I purchased before. My headlights look like new. Thank you Chris! My only question is how often should I redo this?
Every night before bed !
I saw a video the other day where the guy rubbed his lights with 8000 grit wet sandpaper and then sprayed them with a clear coat. The result was super impressive.
There was another video said the clear coat will distort the view at night. I am not sure what's right.
Tried doing it earlier, don’t think it made a huge difference but I didn’t use wax, any suggestions?
Any sort of car wax will do. Meguiars makes a specific wax for headlights so it may be worth it to you to check out. It's around $13
Thanks for this video. I just finished using this method on my headlights and the difference was amazing!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Did u use wax?
omg you got me with the dental floss.... I was sure glue to see how in the world that would tie in... question.... what type of wax are you using?
Haha glad you enjoyed the video! I link all products I use in the description of my videos so you can easily find them. I was using carnuba car wax.

This is amazing. I was gonna replace my headlights. Now it looks like new. No sanding or additional work required.
Excellent video! Nice and short to the point with successful results and a Sprinkle of humor.
