How to polish your headlights

NOTE: This ONLY works on plastic headlights. If you can't tell the difference between plastic and glass headlights then return your tools and never touch a car again.......haha. But seriously.....

Tired of those nasty cloudy headlights? Mine aren't too bad but thats because I maintain them.

Well polishing them up wont always bring them back to looking new, but it definitely makes an improvement. Why do this? besides the fact it makes your car look better, cloudy fog lights are a safety hazard and limit the light passing through the lens.

Tools needed:

Toothpaste

Rags/paper towels

Yup, toothpaste, its a basic abrasive paste and EVERYONE has it. And if you don't have it then you're disgusting.

Step 1

Apply toothpaste to your rag/paper towel and then rub it in a small circular manner while firmly applying pressure.

All done with that

Step 2

Grab a wet rag/paper towel (or hose if you have one) and wipe it all away. You may have to repeat this step with new rags to get it fully clean. And VOILA looks way better! Well not really on mine, but thats because I've done this before to all of my vehicles so I didn't have a good example to work with.
