I used maccleans normal toothpaste and papertowels on my old pathfinder. Worked a treat. For temporary results wd40 works too.
You need toothpaste with bicarbonate of soda and it works 👌🏼

@Junky DIY guy very nice video, But I just want to know when I use toothpaste how many time it will be stay very clean.

Make sure you wax after cleaning with toothpaste. That’s the trick to keep the headlight lens shiny and clear.
I think the key is to ceramic coat the lenses after polishing. Preferably a double coat.
thanks
Cool
Nice video but would be better with high volume.

Please polish in circular movements
After initial cleaning- please try a high SPF suntan lotion to seal and protect. Ones with cocoa butter and coconut scented are my favorite. Let dry 1 hour before wiping.
For you which is better toothpaste or rubbing compound? Please reply asap.
So... The secret was too use water? I just put the toothpaste on and left it there. No wonder it didn't work. Thanks!

If that whitening toothpaste could remove that yellowing effect on your headlight, just imagined what it does to your teeth and enamel😂
All the toothpaste does is hold the grit on, like baking soda, or if it is already in the toothpaste.
Not all toothpaste will work. Colgate works well. Those with baking soda and peroxide works extreme well. Green gel will not work.
I’ve tried this and it didn’t seem to work.

i didnt saw a change in your headlights
Tooth paste works on teeth nicely but its abrasive qualities will damage and remove the protective UV layer on the average plastic headlight. This is a old shade tree mechanic trick that has long been proven damaging to the surface of the lens the safest fastest method is an acrylic lens deoxidizer
just as easy to use Tcut...
A paper towel is the worst thing to use on headlights as it leaves behind scratches in the plastic. Use a terrycloth rag for best shine.

I could see you working hard on it but cant see any significant improvement in 'clearness' of the plastic surface.

It doesn't work it makes it foggier
Ive heard of this many times but never tried it, today I did as I have mot test coming up and foggy lights can fail it. It worked surprisingly well at first, the difference between before and after was big, but after the lenses dried of a little they weren't as clear but still better than before cleaning.

Cheap manufacturing is the root cause of the problem.
Some are worst then others and that headlight wasn’t that bad in the first place
The background music is nauseating
Before applying wax I would mask around the Lens and then spray the lens twice "4~8 hours apart as per recommended for the paint" with a UV Resistant can of Clear Spray Paint, So that there wont be a need to resurface them ever again, unless you intend to keep the car for longer than 5~7 years..
Music is a nuisance, also nearly quarter of the video gone , yapping" before any action, how these people like to hear themselves talking.
no it doesn't work.
Keep your hand out of the video.
I used toothpaste & it didn't do anything, but my headlights were far worse looking than yours. I even tried leaving the toothpaste on for a while, still nothing!

First make sure, the oxidation is on the outside of the headlight. because if it, is natural discoloration of the plastic from inside, then this method won't work. If it is outside like mine, and the toothpaste doesn't take em off, then try this, this will definitely work kzread.info/dash/bejne/pnp50NWEmtmYf8o.html

I've tried. No joy, just bullshit. Better to buy REAL headlamp cleaner. Stop wasting your toothpaste. It may clean up the dirt, but not removing the scrathches.
Stop talking and just put it on
