How to clean your headlights
Things you will need:
-Cloth
-Toothpaste
Step 1:
The first step is to apply some toothpaste on a dry cloth.
Step 2:
Once the toothpaste is on the cloth, begin to rub the headlight cover with it until the grime comes off.
Step 3:
Keep rubbing the toothpaste in circular motions until the grime breaks down all the way. After that proceed to rinse with water and wipe down with a wet cloth.
Step 4:
Smile, cause you’re awesome and you did it yourself!

What kind of toothpaste? As I use Sensodyne, way too expensive to use as a cleaner.
I just went out and tried this on one of my headlights; there is a definite improvement from the untouched one to the “toothpasted” one. I don’t know what effect the toothpaste residue might have on my paint finish and it’s hard not to drip some on the area surrounding the headlight. I cleaned it thoroughly and hosed off the residue, but I’m going to wait until I’m ready to wash my car or take it to the car-wash later this week before I do the other headlight. Thanks for the great tip!
Toothpaste is EXCELLENT at getting crayon and marker off of the walls of your house. With that, I’d guess that it won’t hurt the paint on your car — as it doesn’t do a thing to my walls. I literally keep a little tube in the kitchen drawer. Mmmm, come to think of it, I wouldn’t worry about the residue of the toothpaste as much as the abrasiveness, b/c I think that’s really what gets the crayon off the wall. As long as it’s just dripping and not being scrubbed onto your car, you’ll probably be ok.
I tried this and it was easy. Less costly than I thought. My head lights look so much brighter. Thanks.
i sure am gonna try this in the morning will let you all know if it works
