So my little brother just turned 18 two weeks ago and I got him a 96 Integra to get around in (not bad for $1000.00 and his first car). The body is mint and could use a little paint here and there but nothing major. We were in the driveway with two of our neighbors checking out the car and realized that the headlights were fogged when one of them says go get me some toothpaste . So we go get the toothpaste and apply it to the lenses on the headlights. Then with a microfiber rag we rub it in until it becomes a thick and almost solid paste. Turning to a clean side of the rage we wipe all the toothpaste off and all we could do was stare in amazement. The toothpaste bascially took of the nasty film and dullness away from the headlight lense. So I tried on the G and my lenses look crystal clear now. I will post some pics later on.

 

Anyone else try this?

 

Think of it like this: toothpaste = polish for your teeth.

It has a mild abrasive in it, just like a car polish would, so that it can truly clean the grit and grime off the teeth. By rubbing it onto the headlights, you're basically putting the po-boy's rubbing compound on there, and you get the same effect. I wouldn't try it on paint though....

 

That would make sense though, if it can get rid of tarter, gingivitis and plaque, imagine what it can do to your.... ?

 

so I just apply on the outside of the plastic lenses where the fogs appear, and wait till it dry up like wax? and wipe it off?

 

No, rub it on with polish, then wipe off when it gets thick and gunky. You need to actually provide some effort for the abrasion to work.

 

H3ll no I wouldn't put it on the paint....lol


Pretty much. Take a small amount and rub it in on the outside of the lense where it appears foggy. Then just wipe it off with the clean side of the raag and wellah!

 

Sounds interesting

 

i tyed this method but it was only temporary, i have a 03G35 and my lenses were starting to get foggy, so i bought from this company, and havent needed to use it again: headlightsolutions.net
IMO it was really cheap for 10 bucks...check it out

 

Get plastiX. That's what I use with my Pc and orange pad and got them looking clear as when they were brand new.

 

Cool. Now his car won't get cavities

 

Sounds very interesting… what type of toothpaste?

 

wheres the pics. wanna see results might try doing this on my head lights

 

I've heard some people use toothpaste to clean their diamond rings too.

 

id like to see pics as well, my 97 maxima headlights are pretty foggy and yellow
