I only came here because I thought he was gonna peel his headlight.

Am I the only one that really wanted the vegetable peeler to get used on the plastic?

[ZombieNausea]

I'll be sure to watch this the next time I have my headlights sitting on the kitchen counter.

I love that the description says clean your lightS in 5 minutes and then the video says 2x20 minutes of scrubbing per light. In reality it should say "clean headlights in 1h20" 😅

Also, unless you put a UV protection lacker on afterwards, you'll be doing this every year 😉

And I remember back in the day we never had this problem with glass headlights on cars.

I too use a tater peeler to scrape away the haze! And after the plastic is completely gone it never hazes again! Genius!

You can use carrot juice too.This will help you see, if you do a lot of night time driving.

I just grabbed my little jar of Mothers wheel polish & cheap buffing pad on the ol'trusty cordless & voila! Wipe clean & hit it with the Meguiar's clear coat spray sealant (2 coats) & done! Still clear since last year👍🏿

And because of the toothpaste, it leaves your headlights minty fresh!!😁👍
Good job. Looks good!

Thanks a lot for showing us many tips for doing our day easier and funny.🤩🤩

Thanks, it worked out great for me ! But I also used some clear coat

Agreed, with a lot of the comments on here. There are perfectly good headlight restoration products on sale that will do the same job in much less time. In fact, I've just finished my partners car, both lights in 20 minutes flat with a shop bought kit.

The issues doing this though are as others have said, this is really only a temporary fix, no matter if you treat them with lacquer or other "protective finishes" the elements and road conditions (small stones, dust etc) will always have a detrimental effect. Bring back glass headlights as one other wizened commenter put

People need to understand, without some form of protection it will fade again in a few days. After cleaning like this, a uv coating should be applied (periodically) to maintain its appearance. Meguiars has a spray specifically for headlights that is applied 2-4x a year.

Thank you. A lot of Americans don't understand that not everybody can spend a lot for a kit, so home made solutions are the way to go, even if it takes more time.

[joeystokes]

Boy, what the name of God are you doing??? I've been detailing cars 20 years, I've never seen no crap like this! I have a three-step process to do this and the results are spot on every time! I've never seen nothing like this before!

[gsonz]

The thumbnail made me think he scrubs the plastic off with the razor blade lmao

[chrishard]

You need to spray the finished item with a hard clear varnish such as Rustins two part floor polish. It’s super clear, hard and resists UV. Most new headlight lenses are coated with clear at manufacture but it erodes away during use.

[donaldgalardi]

Tried and true method: Use Brasso metal polish. Takes approx 5 minutes per headlamp and it's never failed me. Brings lens back to 80% or more.

I got excellent results with Mothers Mag and Aluminum polish on my 2007 Pontiac headlight lenses with hand polishing only.

Deep woods Deat bug (off) works just as well. My 62 yr old mother sprayed her own and they look new again. I was impressed. Her lenses are plastic
