Nasty Film, Dull, Fogged headlamps...not anymore!
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.

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....

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!
