Hey all, I used some toothpaste on my headlights and here is the result. You can see the difference after cleaning the left light it looks MUCH more clear.

Yes I know, they're much better now. It's a 95 and the previous owner did not take very good care of it :( But the paste does wonders!

So what do you do? Put toothpaste on the headlights then wipe it off right away? Let it dry? Hose it off?

Thanks.

toothpaste also takes scratches out of CD's , its just an abrasive like polishing compound

What kind do you recommend? Tarter Control or extra whitening formula?

LOL I actually did use extra whitening formula. I figure I'll try polishing with some listerine and then flossing tomorrow ;-)
