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.

@@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.

@vigilantemotors Жыл бұрын

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!

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

@sanansa4567 2 жыл бұрын

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?

@cockeyedoptimista Жыл бұрын

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!

@dylancampbell8685 4 жыл бұрын

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!

@eaglestrike3531 7 жыл бұрын

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.

Bought a bottle of Meguiars Plastx like 8+ years ago which did a pretty good job. Headlight lenses fogged up again after a few years, couldn't find the bottle - almost bought another bottle until I saw this. Saved me $8

@miked6005 3 жыл бұрын

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.

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.
