Cleaning headlights with WD-40

[AnthonyLee-uz]

Use a micro fiber cloth, dawn dish, soap, warm water. Then use non jell tooth paste. Rub on the lenses. Repeat on both lenses . You can buy a kit with similar products.

A good hack with WD40 is to use it to clean windshield wipes blades when they start streaking. It removes the grime from the blades and they work good again.

You can pee on the headlight and it will be as shiny for just as long.

WD-40 works for 10 seconds, as soon as it dries it goes right back to where it was

Bug spray works the best, like Cutter, etc.Twice a year

You want to fix them for good? Take 1000 grit sandpaper and sand the lenses down while using running water like from a hose. The water must be running constant so there is no buildup of particles. Then take Rubbing compound and buff out the lenses. You can do this either by hand or by a high speed buffer. Then take a lighter compound and finish up to a buffed out semi-shine. Now the final step, use pure carnauba wax and rub this into the lens until it's completely gone. You'll have brand new looking headlights. Please note: Only works (Obviously) on the outside of the lenses. A lot of what causes this oxidation is the heat from the bulbs themselves plus the environment depending on where you live in the world.

In Canada it cost about 20 to 35 dollars to restore headlights properly. I know it is way cheaper in the states for the same products.

600 grit sand paper followed by 2000 grit. Clear coat with UV spray paint… you’re welcome

[thelaststand]

You can do the same with faded plastic bumpers, grills and fender trims using any type of oil but they'll stay looking better longer than those headlights will.
Lights have a painted on clear coat that fades over time, you have to use super fine grit sandpaper to removed it, then either resptay them with a clearcoat paint or keep them waxed so they dont oxidize again.

I saw video which this guy used off with deed in it and I had the same problem with the headlights on my truck and I sprayed it on and boy they came clean instantly I was very surprised Good tip

[Guitarwizza]

Only problem which most people probably already know by now, that this is temporary. It will go back to being foggy again within a couple of days.

Mother’s brand or any brand Mag and Aluminum paste from an auto shop - about ten bucks. Plus a cloth and some elbow grease. Save a bundle.

This is completely unrelated to content of the video but you have a wonderful voice. I have had a terrible headache today and listening to your videos has been so soothing. I appreciate how you talk about everything really calmly.

As much as cars cost they should be free. My 54, 56, 61, 65, 67, 71, 73, 75, 77, 80, 84, 91 were cheap and never faded😂😂

Dude, learn how to aim the camera at the subject (headlight). Will help you in your future videos.

I've heard Colgate Toothpaste with whitening additive is quite good as well .

[arturoblackburn-fm]

Best way to clean head light's is bug spray, like mosquito spray is the best, my head light's were really bad and the bug spray left them pretty much like new, and it lasted for almost a year.
