As an auto detailer I can honestly say this works BUT only for a few weeks. An it will make the headlights look worse… Best bet is to sand the headlights with 1500/2000 wet sandpaper then get rubbing compound an buff the headlights. After, wax the headlights with your favorite wax. This will make an keep the headlights looking great for more then an year. If you want to keep them looking newer for longer, ceramic coat the headlights after the wax an it will literally last you about 3 years before you have to repeat the process…💯🤓

As someone who restored headlights professionally this is a stop gap temporary fix. Headlights have a UV coating to protect them from oxidation, to truly restore them you have to sand the plastic pretty hard with a 800/1000 grit wet dry sandpaper, working up to 2000 grit or better. Then you can seal them with a spray on UV coat or Wipe New.

I just did my daughters headlights. I have tried the toothpaste method, on my own car, it did last a few days. I used sandpaper, 800 stroking side to side and then rinse, then up and down, then side to side with 1000 grit. Then scrubbed with the Barkeepers friend, it's like Comet bath scrub. Then waxed, and the drivers side looks great, but as I was trying to teach her, she did the passengers side, which ended up less yellow, but still foggy. I heard once you get them clear, WD-40 will help seal and keep them clear? Great video BTW!! THANK YOU! I may try again on her passenger side, toothpaste. My daughters car is a 2004 Sonata. Her headlights are very dim, she is scared to drive at night. I drove her car at night and couldn't see well either. Scary! Trying to find the right headlight bulbs as well. Any ideas on that?

Nice I saw a guy just sand for 1 minute then use a krylon clear coat spray and it was almost 100 percent better. What is name of the clear wax u use?

👍🏼

I'm a detailer and I knew that toothpaste did that but I didn't know how good it works.

I finally did this to one of my headlights. Toothpaste and Turtle 🐢 wax. Not perfect, I didn’t have as much elbow grease due one shoulder painful. Will do again. Didn’t do the other, it’s fairly new and not glazed. I drive rural roads and a large dog 🐕 committed suicide, so close and charging at the car, couldn’t miss it, broke that headlight. It ran off up a wooded hill, probably died. Had to order new headlight.
