Headlight Restoration Toothpaste

[vellotrol]

What should I do if the problem is tartar?

[hamwenzu2000]

I'm watching this and looking at the companies selling headlight cleaning crap on the side bar like they can still convince me to buy their expensive products after watching this. Been having issues with fogging headlights on my civic but i'm doing this first thing in the morning. Thanks man.

[Kali951King]

@hamwenzu2000your welcome.  haha yeah i'm not sure how well the ads are doing for cleaning headlights if you can do it for free.

[Kali951King]

@connei74 I will be posting a video soon out how to get water spots off glass. I would try using a solution of 50/50 distilled water and white vinegar. Then using a microfiber to wipe it off.

[Prickolee]

hahahahaha turn on captions...

[RezaSaleh]

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh...it works good!! Should rinse it with Listerine

Thanks for posting this video dude..:)



[Kali951King]

@RezaSaleh Right on glad it worked!

Hi. My father tolt me tath when I was younger. Now I can't ask him, becouse hi is no longer with us. R.I.P.

So this think is working with plastic headlights 2 ? Or just Glass? I have Dectane angel eye and they are plastic.

Thanks a lot ;)

[paintballgundown8]

also if you have some tire shine, that will also enhance the gloss of the headlight lens and adds yet another layer of protection.I usually buff, armor all, wax, shine

[abus777]

Wait an minute.... THAT MEANS THAT..

I CAN CLEAN MY TEETH WITH HEADLIGHT RESTORE PASTE...

[DJBrothaIvan]

BTW..want a clean bath tube.. use toothpaste.. not only does it scrub.. but the stickyness of the paste grabs the dirt as you rinse from the tub.

[DJBrothaIvan]

It works. I used a $.97 tube of Colgate & regular drill bit 3" buffing pad $3.00 and a plastic polish or protectant from Mothers plastic finish or wax.

1st-Cleaned the headlights (2005 Honda Oddesey)

2nd-Applied toothpaste (as shown)

3rd-Buffed in toothpaste..(using small squirts of water & Armoral mix (3parts h2o/1part Amoral)

4th-Repeat steps 2 & 3

5th-Buffed until paste completely removed.

6th-Used polish & wax rubbed & buffed 2x's

7th-Wipe with clean cloth ...and WOW!

[jweezy252]

I just tried this wrk perfect look bran new

[tgc281]

I bought new headlights and they worked great........!!

[JeffInDFW]

I tried pouring Scope on mine. Didn't work.  But, my car smells minty fresh.

[biggurs]

toothpaste also works on your teeth. Try it!

[eldivo06]

i did it and it doesnt work

[khoiktran]

cool, i tried it and it works great!! big thanks

[Kntryhart]

I wonder if baking soda would work?

[Breva]

Just did my girlfriends Maxima. It didn't clear up as much as you, but still a huge improvement. She hasn't done anything to the headlights for about 10 years. I got some free Crest from my dentist and pretty much did the thing for free. Thanks dude!!

[blackyle3]

0:28 then 5:53

[ludavanea]

They working for volkwagen passat?

[Kali951King]

@ludavanea yes

[halfasser]

"buff it to perfection".... ;-)

[Sentidocomuncabron]

iT WORKED. It looks awesome. UNBELIEVABLE.

Saved me some dollars. YEEAAYAAA!!!

[benjamin0077]

thanks, it really work just fine !! and for a few cents like you said. ! :)

[Kali951King]

@benjamin0077 Awesome, glad it worked out for you!

[NoticeOfDefault]

worked like a charm thanks

[therewillbesims]

fade action hahahaha

[VictoriaG02]

Im so glad I found this video! I have been trying to get my headlights clear for a while now. I use the toothpaste today, worked wonders. I cleaned mine about 3 times. Only because I didnt scrub them that long. WOW what a difference!

[sofleye23]

Trying it right now... i'll be back with the results

[undertake782]

You can brush your teeth with it too!

[zbestwun2001]

mine weren't bad... but it help alot, you can see the reflectors now...it's a 93 camry

[aaronibarra400]

Can i use a tooth brush ??

[380gb]

@aaronibarra400 i would assume so. use the brush to scrub then the cloth to buff out.

[Cm8000]

Its also a good idea to apply some kind of polisher/protectant to the headlights after doing this. But yeah ive been using tooth paste on all my cars and it does work! Keep in mind It wont work if there is hard water damage to the lens or the build-up is inside.

[DudeImWayBetter]

Which muscles in my hands do I use while doing the circular motion of cleaning the headlights?

[zbestwun2001]

@DudeImWayBetter with a question like that, i was going to suggest try using your brain first...

[DiErVoNmAnE]

@DudeImWayBetter hahaha dude thats the funniest/stupidest shit ive ever heard, i couldnt stop laughing =D

[gyghost]

gonan try this for sure

[moyoteg]

worked for me thanks!

[deepee0979]

How long did this last before you had to clean them again?

[Kali951King]

@deepee0979 Well it really depends on how much your car is exposed to the sun. It could range anywhere from 2+ yrs to 6 months. Considering the low cost and risk factor I would say its worth it.

[mimi1955]

I did it to my '95 Ford Falcon ... worked well. Did use genuine Colgate though LOL

[monicacuriel]

hmm Is there a way to clean the inside? The headlights in my car are pretty gross, they used to get foggy on the inside on really humid days. I want to restore them to look decent now, but I do not think it is all on the outside I think the fog did some damage to the inside as well.

[JCSRT35R]

@Kali951King idk dude it really didn't do much but take the yellow color off other than that I used a micro fiber towel nd scrubbed the light with 2 different toothpastes nd nothin it still looks the same jus without the yellow coloring ..

[JCSRT35R]

Didn't work for my srt4 headlights ... Looks like I gotta buy the professional headlight restoration kits ... -_-

[Kali951King]

@JCSRT35R first time i've heard that it didn't work.

[shallowwater]

@JCSRT35R You probably have to keep reapplying it a few times. Once or twice may not be enough.

[recommendme]

@JCSRT35R try the CV headlight restoration, check out my video to see what a diffrence it made, i recommend it for everyone! its only 20 bucks, and has a nice warranty

[DiErVoNmAnE]

@JCSRT35R try changing the spark plus in your car that might clear up your headlights real good. im a 30 year experienced headlight expert. oh and if that dont work then it has to be the battery. no need to thank me

[paultorres]

@Msport18 just buy window cleaner for your windows lol

[AlwayzHustlin]

I'd prefer to take my car to the dentist

[Ernotolis]

voice over

[iirgrafton]

only because your lights aren't that bad to begin with.. do it with a car from early 90s.. It took me a good hour - wet sand and then meguiars ultimate compound and had to keep doing that over and over until they came clean.. I had yellow running down all over the place.. probably took a good 1/4 inch of crap off of the lights lol

[Kali951King]

@iirgrafton I actually did it with a car that was older and it took a little longer but there are a lot of variables that come into play. At least your headlights look good now lol.

[MrBeckett74]

Grew up in the 951, nice vid. Do you think you could use this on DVD's that the kids have messed up?

[jostoniac2]

@MrBeckett74 absolutely not. A DVD has information on it and if you use a gritty substance, it will take that info away. Use a disc cleaner, I prefer a pre-treated cloth called, Disc Genie.

[Pupixario]

arent those lights glass ?

[watchyourtubenow2009]

I heard of using toothpaste on items that is stained off. This is the first of it i heard you can use on headlights. I used LCD cleaner and it looks much better but not 100percent

[joelin66]

Well done man that really work

[wbskater101]

ok so i just watched this with some headphones on right/... and at the very end of the video where there is tht screeaach, scared the living shit out of me hahaha but this actually works thatnks for being so descriptive with ur supplies!

[soc2002]

My car didn't have tons of yellowing, just some fogginess. I found that opposed to doing a LOT of toothpaste, like in the video, that thinner layers were more effective. I put a thin layer on, circular buffing motion, wipe off. Another layer, rinse and repeat. It seemed to work better than when I used a ton that covered the entire light in a thick layer. I buffed it out with a microfiber cloth afterward. I considered car wax, but wasnt sure how that'd work on headlights. I'll give it a try.

[zlee415]

I did this to my silverado headlights. They arent all that yellow, but I don't want them to be yellow at all. It got out some of the yellowness, and fog but not all of it (not much at all). So I guess i'm going to pay someone, or do it myself the professional way. (sanding, and buffing)

[Kali951King]

@Msport18 I just researched it and the answer is yes. If you use toothpaste thats gritty on glass you can buff/polish out scratches! To apply it use a paper towel. Rub it in a circular motion. After your finished clean it off with some water and vinegar. Thanks for the question.

[psymander]

thanks buddy! appreciated!!!

[Kali951King]

@psymander no problem. Thank you for watching.

[zeroturbulence]

And your headlights will never have cavities either :)

[plzromanceme]

I did this and it got my lights so clear they were yellow and cloudy I had doubt but I just didnt give up applied toothpaste scrubbed applied more scrubbed abt 6 times and I was amazed how my lights cleared up the more I scrubbed!. Can see the bulbs now.. saved me money ..Thanks!!:)

[Kali951King]

@plzromanceme excellent. glad you liked. I always touch my lights up with some Armorall protectant to keep the m looking like new.

[Kali951King]

@plzromanceme Your welcome!

[stephykamzy]

you could use a buffer pad with a hand held drill makes things easier but be careful not to over heat the so keep with the circular motion......it would be faster less annoying and still cheap ...i don't know what would protect it given your to protect it from uv ...nice vid mehn

[Kali951King]

@stephykamzy yeah definitely. The toothpaste method is not the best, just a cheap way of getting the job done. I've seen great results with the buffer and some rubbing compound then using rain x afterwards. Thanks for the input!

[badboy81791]

u wana know a good thing? if u wax it just like if u were waxing ur car and then put rain-x on it

[Kali951King]

@badboy81791 yeah that works well too. Thanks for the post.

[werdy]

sweet, Im going to try this today, thanks to your video.

"hit it with a nice microfiber cloth, nice and clean, buff it too perfection!"

-Kali951King

[Kali951King]

@werdy lol, thanks man glad you liked it.
