I sprayed some in my eyes and now my cataracts are GONE !!

I sprayed DW40 on my eyes and I can see clearly now!!

WD40 does fill the tiny scratches and swirl marks on the surface. But once it washed by soap water or simply evaporates, the swirl marks will be visible again. A bit of polishing + ceramic coating did a longer effect for me.

I used to use Wd40 but than I tried Mothers mag & aluminum polish to remove the yellowing off the headlights, last way longer and work better than WD40.

It’s temporary, folks. Check out other videos where they show this. In two weeks your headlights will be hazy again, so you just wasted your time. Motor oil will do the same thing. I tried it on my Jeep and in a few weeks later, the headlights were hazy again. This is a trick dealers use to make a car look good before they sell it. Check out other KZfaq videos on it. The solution is to get one those kits and take fine grade sandpaper and sand down to remove the bad, pitted plastic and then apply a coating over it to make the headlights clear again, and will last a while. There’s another video, where a guy takes different grits sandpaper and sands them down and then puts a clear spray coating on it, which is cheaper than using one of the kits. I wish car manufacturers would go back to glass headlights, not this cheap, likely Chinese made crap, that eventually winds up in our landfills.

As long as no sanding is involved, it'll keep on coming back. It's gr8 for a quick temp fix though. I ain't complainin'!

Your tip worked so fast and well I was elatated! Just think, if I asked a shop or dealer for help they would tell me I needed a whole new assembly ;) THANK YOU!

It's 1:40am with my wife and dog asleep in on sofa beside me and I just watched your video with Bluetooth video and thoroughly enjoying the curious exploration and possible life saving tip if that's all you got in a MacGyver situation! I favor the 3M headlight lens restoration kit that I think was only about $10 at Walmart but I did 3 vehicles with it so only $3-$4 per vehicle as good long term solution but just wanted to say thanks for the mythbusters style exploration which stuff like this bringing tje community together in a good way getting people to positively share their good knowledge and experiences and have some good entertainment along the way is partly what makes life so good!! Thanks again and God bless!

Car manufacturers should go back to old days ! Instead of plastic they use real glass on lamp and never had this type problem

"old time, out in the country way." had me right there, subscribe lol.

I tried this, but on half a lamp. For the first 15 minutes you could see a huge difference. 3 hours later you couldn't tell. Note that the lamp had already been through standard cleaning.

Gonna try it . Thanks for the info. And to your lady.... thaks for keeping him honest and fed.

You need to sand the oxidation off, polish it, and seal it with a UV clear coat for long-lasting results. I restore headlights all the time.

Awesome! I tried it yesterday on my old Honda CR-V and it is still crystal clear. Thanks man :)

Thanks! My Tacoma is a 1997, so it's even foggier than yours. I was looking for instructions for the toothpaste method, but this looks SO much easier! Gonna go clean my headlights right now.

Oh my Gosh! I did not even finish watching your video; I paused and went into my garage. I used WD 40 on my Honda Suv. headlights. It worked! The headlights were just like yours steamy looking. Thank you, thank you!

Noooo weeeiiiii it's gone back to being cloudy the next day!!!!!!!🤣

It worked. I tried it. But make sure you put the headlight restorer sealant afterwards for a long lasting effect.

all it does is fill the microfractures with a liquid that matches the index of refraction of the solid. It doesn't smooth out anything , just masks the cuts. works pretty good though.

Omg! It worked! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING! 😃

I used WD-40 on my headlights, waited for my wife to bring ME pot roast......NOTHING! I'm calling a fake!!!!

Sprays on WD40 - shows excitement - Immediately rushes inside and uploads to KZfaq - Eats some pot roast - Goes back out to the car - and.....DOH!

Worked on my Civic, lasted about a month, but that's easy maintenance.

My lenses are worse than yours were, I'm glad I found your video! I'm gonna get me some WD-40 tomorrow and do mine! Thanks for sharing this with us! 🙂

I like his enthusiasm , he’s funny with his presentation. Good job sir👍🤓

This is why I like the basic rectangular headlights on my old pickup. When a headlight burns out and needs replacing, I get a whole new GLASS lens and bulb all in one unit. Much better IMO. Those plastic headlight lenses on cars always look like crap after a while.

i don't mind wiping my headlights every 2 weeks , its just like a trip to the carwash , less expense, still do the job, lol!!

This guy's enthusiasm is very infectious👍😊

Hey, it’s nice to see someone exited about cleaning headlights and a sweet wife that brings pot roast and he loved that too!! Such a nice young couple! It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t last very long, just keep the WD40 handy and clean them as needed, it didn’t take 2 minuets!! Thank you and great tutorial.✝️🙏🏼❤️👋🏼

Actually the WD40 headlight thing comes from truckers up north to keep LED headlights from getting covered in snow. Pam works as well. Lasts about 8 hrs.

Thank you for the demonstration.

It eats glue or anything sticky. I used it to take hard stuck-on labels off easy without making an mess. It has so many uses.

It clears the haze until you get the car washed and the W-D40 spray completely washes off. I tried it and it is BS

I used liquid acetate on mine and it actually worked... I used a little to test it out... but the key, once you go over that one surface you can’t go over it again because the acetate will actually smear and that you can never remove. So make sure you go from right to left NO CIRCULAR MOTION.

Definitely made a big improvement to my driver's side light unit. UK. Give it 9 out of 10. But some of the fogging can also be on inside.

Great tip. Saves you from spending $20 - $30.00 on a head light cleaning kit. Also don't want to spend your Sunday afternoon cleaning your head lights, just give it a kiss and promise and your good to go.

That’s Awesome thanks for the tip, I love the inspection process by Samantha “Can you do mine” “Did you do the back”. You two are so much fun. Thanks’

Legend has it Yak Motley is always so excited because he drinks wd40 ;p

Thank you brother!!!!!! It works🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

don't be shock every oily thing can make it clear but wait for drying and dust

It also works good to take labels off your file cabinets. Melts the glue and paper label and leaves no residue.

the reason why this works is very simple - this fogginess is actually the UV coating of the plastics of the headlight. when your headlight gets foggy it means that the UV coating has gone bad and got really dried out, the reason why WD40 can remove it, is because WD40 is abrasive enough that it CAN remove UV protection coating. HOWEVER when you do this you basically sentence your headlight to death, the plastics will now begin to get dried out by the UV from the sun and eventually will turn yellow and develop cracks until eventually they will just break. so basically if you do this with WD40 you MUST re-apply UV protection coating to your headlights, otherwise the plastics will decay extremely quickly. this is why headlight restoration kits include abrasive material to remove the old dried UV coating and UV coating to re-apply after removing the old dried out UV coating.

It clears the yellow film off very good. The scratches still needs work but my car is a 2008 so the improvement was very evident. I should had taken photos but to be honest I didn’t think it would actually work. Now I can still sand down the scratches and do it faster and easier now the yellow layer is all gone. I did use it on my 2013 truck and it did the lens very well and the headlights look like new.

I was truly afraid of driving my wife's 2008 Toyota at night, it was like driving without headlights. Tried the WD40, and just like in this video, INSTANT clearing! I don't know how long it will last, but 5 minutes of minor effort can be repeated every week or every other week for all I care. Dramatically cheaper than replacing the headlights. I have no idea as to what is happening, all I know is OUR driving is a hell of a lot safer at night now.

I use a brass polish on mine. Cleans them right up and lasts a very long time.

I'm amazed it worked I also rinsed it off with water and whipped it off several times and took her to a car wash will see if it last if not I will upgrade headlights but so far it's working I'm amazed as much as you are thank you fir the video

Thanks for the great hack. I am about to do this on our old Camry.

For anyone who has the foggy headlight problem , rain x makes a paste for that for under ten dollars , works great for about a year and you have to reapply it but it only takes minutes

When you let it dry the problem appears again, its a fake solution.

I’m going to try this tomorrow. Thank you for sharing

I love my car's headlights, the cover is glass not plastic, never get UV fog on them.

I tried this watching this very video. When finished, it looked great. I turned away for a couple of minutes only to find the glaze had returned just as before.

You need an abrasive to remove a thin layer of the plastic then apply clear cote to it to seal the deal. It is the UV that causes that fog.

Tried this about 5 years ago. It lasts about a week in good weather. If you live in a state where to pass auto inspection you need clear headlights this will work fine too. Poor weather, rain or on dirt roads will cause the wd 40 to be compromised and IT WILL RETURN TO BEING FOGGY VERY QUICKLY . Much better to buy any of the many easily available headlight restoration kits that youL can get at any auto parts store.

The WD-40 just fills in and makes the lens look clear, it does not remove any oxidization. When the WD-40 evaporates or is cleaned off, you lens is as cloudy as ever. I don't know why people make videos like this with such stupid wild claims.

What’s really happening is that the oily residue from the WD-40 is filling in the micro scratches in the plastic, giving it a somewhat even layer. Therefore the light passing through is more parallel and thus appears to be clearer. This would work with any oil-like substance.

Yes,it`s done in three minutes. And it will last for three minutes.

I also put it on the black trimmings on my old truck and it brought it back to life.

Thank you I was about to go to Walmart and have them clean them you really saved me money I appreciate you

I've used transmission fluid on mines a truck car dealer turned me on to iitt years ago and trust me it works and last a long time!!

Not only does it fix squeaky hinges and clean headlights but it taste good too with roast beef 🥩🤪

WoW!! I tried it and omg it works great! Thank you for the info/video!!!

Lo prove en mi Nissan Altima 2016 y al instante quedaron limpios es solo una capa que se va pegando de humedad y churre . Lo que dure estará bien con volverlo hacer a si sea una ves por semana estará bien quizás más tiempo ya veré gracias por el video bendiciones

This is what people who stop at intersections and offer to clean stuff should be doing instead of washing windows.

I did the same thing with my headlights but I used "off" bug spray not wd-40! It is a night and day difference!! Love these little hacks!

I am going to go try this as soon as I change my headlight bulbs!! I will report my progress shortly!! Thanks for tip!!

I use to detail cars at a an auction a few towns over. Basically what takes place is a cars hood, roof and trunk lid become oxidized. These 3 areas suffer the most from rain, snow and the sun. These ambient conditions hurt all cars and all models. It's best to keep your car in a garage or in the shade if possible. The head lights build up dirt and the sun bakes everything on them and that's why they appear partly hazed, yellow and cracked. WD-40 acts as a moisturizer on the surface. You will still see the haze under the shine. WD-40 cleans off the built in dirt and the silicone fills in the cracks on the surface of ur headlights therefore filling in and shinning up the headlights. No different then a women who puts on foundation then applying makeup, the surface imperfections are still there.. Eventually the WD-40 will fade or wash away with the rain or snow. It's a quick fix for selling a car with bad headlights. Well I hope this helps to better understanding what happens without going to in debt regarding active chemicals within WD-40.

This works for a brief period of time if you don’t seal it immediately afterward. I used Sylvania headlight UV Block Clear Coat to put a clear coat over and prevent it from oxidizing.

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone

Lol At least she feeds you before commenting 😂😂😂 that was funny

Now I can work with this right now, so great

I got the same result with water when I washed the lights at the gas station this morning. Good video anyway. 👍

I tried WD40 and it worked for about 10 minutes. Now I’m going to use Duct Tape, cause I heard it fixes everything except the economy.

Great trick for when your getting your car ready to sell. Also you can do your outside black trims with wd40 to make them nice and black again 👍🏼

Just saw this and can't wait to get home to do this on my car!!! I wish I had looked into this sooner. Got to hold to my car, want to take care of it and try to keeping it looking good without alot of out of pocket expenses. Especially nowadays!! Thanks Yak!

The first time you wash it, it will be right back & foggy again, temp fix!

There is a recall on Toyota Tacoma headlight lens's. The haze and crack from heat. I have a 2011 Toyota Tacoma pick up and the headlight lens's were replaced for free.

Amazing! I have some WD-40 in the cupboard, and I will use it one my headlight and taillights tomorrow, thanks to you my dear!

I tried it now and it works great. Thanks for the tip 👌👍👏

If you were to accidentally spray WD-40 on your car paint. It would have a really nice shine for a while before it fills the paint really bad. I wonder what the long term effect will be on the headlight.

I don't know if you already know this but WD40 works as an attractant on bait for Tope (small shark) here in the UK!

Good boy, it only works until the next wash.😆🤣🤣

I just tried this on my 2006 SLK and cant believe the instant results!! ... Amazing!

I am walking out the door to brighten up my night!

I apply WD-40 to my headlights once a week, it's fun making the headlight lens clear plus night time driving is safer too.

Thanks for vid. I have the same issue with my headlights..off to autoshop now lol

I'm going to try this as soon as I get up u best beleive great video

I tried it on my headlights but no one brought me a pot roast !

It's working well .. thank you bro 😊

Theres a difference between this and the $15 kit, the restoration kit will actually work as intended. And if you get one with a sealant it will keep them protected for months.

I use a buffer and some plastic polish. 5 minutes and it lasts for about a year before it gets foggy.

Water does the same thing until it dries. Oil just takes longer to dry.

Whaaaaaat I just did it on my car and WOW awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Well impressed with this , will doing it again to do a proper job . Bought some stuff to clean them & it didn’t do thing !!

@2:21 "YES WAY, TED!!" 😂😂

The world needs more of whatever you're smoking.😱

If you can find original commercials for wd40 they were touting it as the fix all. It was almost like my big fat Greek wedding and the father's thing for Windex.

Rock on with this amazing video , you saved me money and for that I give you Much Respect! And a big HELLYEAH for the 23m views!

I also tried this several months ago and it works great on my 1997 Ford Taurus GL

Try WD-40 on your wiper blades, if they streak. As long as they aren’t cracking, WD-40 will make them like new. Wipe the rubber down good and let them dry. It will surprise you next time you need them.
