I gotta clean my headlights, they look kinda, sorta foggy you know, cars old, ive heard a white/white+mint toothpaste works to , but some people say it will last only for about 2 weeks or so, any suggestions, maybe someone cleaned their headlights?

 

Get a headlight polishing kit from an auto parts store. They are all pretty much the same and do a great job. The real challenge is making the results last for a long time. If you remove too much of the top layer, the haze will return a lot faster.

 

Read the box when you buy one and make sure it comes with a sealer.

 

okay thank you guys

 

i used turtle wax headlight restorer from walmart for $8 works really good comes with a sealer also

 

thanks, ima try toothpaste 1st tomorrow, if it wont work then ima get a headlight kit,cuz at nighttime i can barely see

 

Don't be a hack with toothpaste.

Just get a true kit, also the car is at least 20yr's old, the bulb life cycle is probably on its way out.... Might wanna look into new replacement bulbs.

 

get the turtle wax headlight restorer it come with a sealer wipe for a finish touch.

 

If you can't see, toothpaste is NOT going to work.

I have had GREAT experience with the 3M Restoration kit. Very extensive and thorough. Comes with sealer. Trust me.

 

Toothpaste won't work. Watch this if you don't believe us.

haha yeah i didnt work, ima get the kit tomorrow, i got hid headlights, and today installed fog lights, so those are new bulbs

 

I just did my headlights on my sc with 3M restoration kit went from yellowish barely see in the headlight to like new amazing results. I also bought a set of 98 supra headlights from a local performance shop for $300 because they were all scratched up and foggy same thing got another 3M kit took going over twice but the headlights look amazing and was offerd $750 for them after a $20 kit and a couple hours of work. Best kit out there by farrrr.

 

I would post pics of them but im new on here and cant post pics yet i guess

 

Despite a sealer provided by the manufacturers of the kit, I'd still highly recommend a proper sealant like OptiCoat 2.0 or AQuartz/CQuartz. You take off a LOT of UV coating when you sand it down

 

I have read and attempted to restore my headlights on my ES300, and nothing ever works. The yellowing and fogging really appear to be on the INSIDE of the headlamp assembly. I have given up and am considering getting new units.

Has anyone else had this experience?
