The Garden Frog with C Renee · Answer

Turtle Wax headlight lens restorer sold at many retailers and auto parts stores. We used it and it worked great. Follow instructions and magically clear headlights. Found out every so often have to redo but old car that we got rid of had bad hazy lights and it worked like a charm. Good luck! Oh and it was about $10 or so.

My understanding of the toothpaste method was to put the paste on the lens then rub with cloth or paper towel in in a circular manner and only add a small amount of water on the cloth you are rubbing with just to make barely damp. So you are buffing with the toothpaste. I have to say I didn't try this on a headlight, but on an interior lens damaged by the carwash when they applied the shiny cleaner to the dash of my car. Worked great.

Kim · Answer

The toothpaste didn't work for me. I applied it dry with a toothbrush in a circular motion. I let sit for probably ten or so mins. Then I wiped off with a damp towel. While the lens was wet it was clear. But as it dryed it hazed over.

Kim · Answer

Going to try baking soda paste when the rain stops here. Will let you know if that works or not. Thanks for the tips. If anyone else has any ideas please share.

Kim · Answer
