Default Just look at that babyoil!!!

Ok guys so just hear me out on this one.....I know most of us want our headlights to look like they are made out of glass so I have the solution to our problem. It all in the babyoil!!!!! I kid you not. Here are the pics to prove it along with several guys to vouche for me.

First....clean your headlights and then dry them up. Once dry put some plastix on them and buff it out with a rag. Second....take some babyoil and put some drops all over your headlights and move around all over your headlights with a clean towel. Here are the results.

On the left is how the lights were when not cleaned and with minor yellowing (way to take care of the car matt....haha). Also the fogs and highbeams have not been cleaned as well. On the right is after using the plastix and babyoil on just the headlight.





Here are both the headlights, highbeams, and fogs after plastix and babyoil.



Last pic is of some of us getting together for a little meet and me showing them the power of the babyoil!!!!



Also....if you were to wetsand your headlights with 2000 grit lightly before adding the plastix and babyoil, it would help a bit. The babyoil fills in the tiny gaps from wetsanding and gives the headlights an almost "wet" like they are made of glass look to them. Just wanted to throw this out there. Try it out. Believe me you will be a bit surprised

Very tru.....I have also used tire shine several times and it does do the same thing. IMO tire shine will last for I would say a week or so if it does not rain but to me it does not get soaked into the lens if you know what I mean.

The babyoil will actually soak into the lens as well as give it that wet glass look. The babyoil will last you well over 2 weeks and what it will also do is build up a layer over time on your lens where yellowing will virtually never happen again and your lenses will only get more clear as time progresses.

Mind you this is my own opinion on the matter but I thought I would share this since I have not really seen anyone else doing it and it works very well for our particular headlights.
