in case you haven't figured it out, its because the outer layer of plastic is cracking and peeling on a micro level, tiny cracks that diffuse the plastic and its caused by the sun. what you need is something clear and liquid that goes into the cracks and then hardens. the WD 40 simply washed off You should take some hot soapy water and clean the oils off the headlights and then do it properly.

Specifically what clearcoat spray do you use? I think this technique would work on stereo turntable dust covers. Filling the cracks that diffuse the light makes pretty good sense. Trying to reestablish that clarity by removing material would present a very vulnerable surface to the elements. I suppose. I'm no expert by any means.

If only the headlamps were still made of heavy glass, this wouldn't be an issue.

Back in the day, our headlights were made of real glass. Never had to worry about it.

you talking about "I'm too cheap to go buy another headlight" lmaoooooooo ME TOOOOOO

No matter what you use to clean your headlight lens, the trick is to scrub horizontally ONLY. The cloudiness is crazing cause by dust impact and UV deterioration. If you scrub round and round or both sideways and up and down, it aligns some of the crazing but scrubbing in one direction only leaves a clearer and longer lasting lens.

This is true when polishing anything especially metal, i.e. aluminum & brass. It’s the aligning of the base that makes it shiny. 😊

Plastic is made from oil. So to make things simple for people, any liquid that contains oil will rehydrate the dry plastic, hence making it relatively clear again. Not sure if true but someone told me you can use oil based polyurethane for lasting results. Again please do your own research because I personally never tried this method.

If the headlight manufacturers did their job properly nobody would have this problem! One could accept this happening after 20 years, but not a few years. Unacceptable!

What people fail to tell you is that toothpaste works like rubbing compound...you rinse your headlights and put a quarter sized amount on your buffing wheel and polish your headlights on high speed. Then make sure you follow up with headlight polish to prevent your shiny headlights from fading in the sun. Restoring headlights is basically removing the damaged top coat of plastic. The problem with all restore jobs is that you end up removing the hard factory finish so you keep having to polish with rubbing compound and polish it once a year to maintain it.

The toothpaste,brush,towel and the can of OFF was his wife's LOL

Can't believe you used that beautiful hand towel!

Many year sago we traveled to a place where insect repellant was necessary, so we bought some stuff that had a very high content of DEET. Much higher than OFF! During the trip it leaked and the plastic cosmetics bag my wife had it in partially melted, so yes, DEET is a solvent to plastics.

What causes the headlight lenses to get cloudy like that is something called "crazing" - which is when the UV light from the sun attacks the outer surface of the plastic and causes a lot of microscopic cracks in the surface. This diffuses the light hitting the surface instead of letting it through and makes it look cloudy. Liquid products like OFF and WD-40 and even water, just fill in the cracks and make it look clear again. Of course, water evaporates quicker than oils, so it doesn't last as long, but even the oils will eventually wash away or evaporate and the headlights are still crazed like before. If you had washed that OFF off with soap and water, it would have looked like it did before. What actually works is plain old cheap buffing compound, a clean rag, and about 10 minutes of scrubbing in small circles all over the lens. The toothpaste will work some, but you need to scrub it on with a rag and not a toothbrush, plus you need to scrub a lot longer than five minutes. Buffing compound has a little more aggressive abrasive, so it works faster than toothpaste, but it still takes some time and elbow grease. It basically ablates the cracked surface and gets down to a new, smooth surface. It will stay clearer longer, but eventually will have to be done again due to continued crazing by the sun. My experience is that I have to do it every 12 to 18 months, depending on the car.

Actually the toothpaste does work . Put the paste on with your finger rubbing in a circular motion once you cover the whole light use a clean damp rag and rub hard circular about 5 to 10 minutes rinse off throughly let dry then rinse off a second time then dry with clean cloth. Next step buy PPF .. 3M paint protection film and place this over your head lights film will last about 5 years . replace when needed .

Great review keep em comming!

Need to add two more steps to the OFF option, 1. put polish and 2. clear coat for UV protection, will make it last longer

Hey, loved your inference of what works. Using the Off every weekend for a month might be even better for long term. Then once a month. The light assembly on my 2009 BMW 328i cost $1,200 apiece to have replaced. If I do it the assembly’s cost $1,900. I think it’s worth me cleaning them once a month with Off bug spray.

Gotta say that the claims that the hazing comes from UV can't be the case. The rear lenses on my 2004 Lexus are very clear with no treatment. Hmmm... same sun, different end of the car. I suspect the highway-driving sand-blasting over the last 16 years and 190,000 miles are the cause of the front lense issue. The less one drives, the better it gets for everybody.

The absolute best way to clean these up. Start off with 600 grit sand paper sand it until the whole thing is hazy. Then go to 1000 grit. Then move to 2000 grit. Then get some good wax and a buffer. It will last a very long time. I do them all the time for people at work.

If you want to clean your head light plastic, use a wet 3000 grit sand paper, keep the water hose dribbling on the plastic as you rub in circles. After you have cleaned the gunk off, Then use chrome polish and a buffer wheel to polish back to a shine. THEN MOST IMPORTANTLY SPRAY THE CLEAN HEADLIGHTS WITH UV PROTECTIVE CLEAR PAINT!!! You should be able to get all the necessary stuff at your local hardware store. This is a ONE TIME AND DONE FIX! At least for me it has been.

Monty King - That's what I use. It's a great product for slightly neglected paint surfaces. On a car with slightly foggy headlamps, it only lasts about a month if the car isn't usually garaged. I rubbed them with plenty of pressure for about 10 minutes each. They looked brand new for about 1 week and by 4 weeks, not so good. DuPont rubbing compound first, then DuPont polishing compound second, then Meguiar's Cleaner Wax worked better. Regardless, the lenses MUST have a durable UV protection applied or they will not look good for long after restoration.

I would like to see a later video, my experience it that this only polishes and goes back after a few days

Once they are clean and shiny, you give the headlights a nice coat of the Meguiars wax to keep them protected which lasted a couple of months. Reapply the wax and it kept the headlights clear.

Yeah, I didn't think the tooth brush was a fair comparison!

Interesting. Thanks for the info!

I have had Off partially dissolve an old plastic watch I was wearing when hiking in the swamp years ago. I still wouldn’t use it on headlight covers. I just did my wife’s car with a Sylvania kit and it worked very well.

Just because u use toothpaste doesn’t mean u have to use a toothbrush. lol

I asked my dentist (who is a big car nut) about the toothpaste. He said the reason it wasn't too good is that you didn't floss after.

Thanks for the honest review!!!!

I use Mothers aluminium mag wheel polish. Rub on w a little water and repolish the plastic surgace. Works really well about $6 a jar.

I really enjoyed your videos, thank you for sharing!

Thanks Dustin!

Somebody may have already said this, but Crest toothpaste works really well, especially if you apply a thick layer of it (I use half a tube for each headlight), let it sit, scrub, then spray it off. Personally its my favorite method (the most effective for such a low price), and you only have to apply it every few months.

I bought a cheap kit from Amazon. Consisted of a small buffing wheel and some polishing compound. Worked wonders!!! Still shiny after 6 months!!!!

What’s the name of it?

Hi Brother thanks for the info, I'm from the area of Okeechobee.

My next dog WILL be named “Scratchly”. No doubt about it.

I used Evaporust. Bought it for the running rust on my car. It failed. Some of the Evaporust got on my headlight and Bam! The cloud came off the headlight. It actually worked. Just saying.

try sand paper from rough to fine sand paper apply with disk soap then sand it till fine. after that, apply cover with transparent wrap plastic for last longer.
