Headlights and Crest Toothpaste

Well, I had heard toothpaste can help clear up a foggy headlight.  You know the sun-faded deal that makes your car look 10 years older than it really is!  Amazingly enough, it works!  I took my nieces car and tried it out - here are the before and after pics;

The "before" shot.

Secret weapon, damp paper towel and toothpaste!

Another "before" shot.

Did circular motions with the crest with steady firm pressure.


Front complete - top of headlight NOT done yet to show contrast.

Another angle showing front done and top not started.

Top "before".

and DONE!


Quite a difference!!  Not perfect by any stretch, but quite an improvement overall.  I've also done the technique with buffing compound and Novus polish etc. and that is better still than this.  However for 10 minutes work with Crest toothpaste and some wet papertowels - this is worth doing!
