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 emoji 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.

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