Quick solution to clean the headlights with WD40 or toothpaste

Using WD40 or toothpaste will work to clean your lenses and is very quick and simple. This method only requires you to rub the plastic lens with a cloth to remove the dull or matte look. This will provide a clear surface that will improve your night vision.

However, cleaning the headlights with wd40 or toothpaste is a temporary solution and will not last long. But, if you are going on a trip or changing your car then this may be the quick fix you are looking for,

Restoration kits

The second method is to use a restoration kit. For example, 3M has a kit that you can buy that comes with the sandpaper and polish to restore your headlights.

This method will cost more and require more effort. The kit comes with sandpaper to remove oxidation from the plastic lens. Once removed, the plastic lens is re-polished to make it clean and transparent. This will provide you with a clear light to provide better night vision for longer. Although over time, the plastic became opaque again.

Restore Headlights with 2K Clear Coat

The third method is to use a 2k clear coat. This method also requires sanding, but instead of buffing the plastic, you will apply adhesion promoter and a clear coat to the surface. This method may require a little more work, but it is a permanent solution for repairing your headlights. If you don’t have a spray gun, a 2k clear coat is available in a spray can.

If you plan to keep your car for years, this is the best method to use.

Why is headlight restoration important?

When you see and drive your car every day, it can be difficult for you to realize how badly your headlights have gone. Night after night, they slowly become dimmer as the plastic turns yellowish, frosty, or dull.

Like changing the oil and keeping the tires inflated to the correct pressure, the headlight lens should also be maintained.

Not realizing that they have started restricting the light to shine properly at night or putting off restoring your person could lead to a preventable accident while driving at night.

In fact, yesterday I was talking to the owner of a body shop and he told me that he has a historical record of deer accidents. You may not think this is a big deal, but a large percentage of these cars are totaled. Yes, a deer hit does a lot more damage to newer cars than you think. Not that all these deer bumps are due to foggy headlights, but we must do everything we can to drive safely and prevent these types of accidents. Cleaning the headlights with wd40 or toothpaste is a small price to pay to avoid an accident.

I don’t have time to restore my lights

There are many do-it-yourself enthusiasts who love to do their best to maintain their car. They take pride and enjoy doing this type of work. However, there are other people who are too busy or just don’t want to take the time to work on their car.

You are the people who can change your oils and wash your car for you. That’s perfectly fine because there are companies that depend on you to keep them in business. If you don’t have time for a light restoration, find a company that can provide this service. Many dealerships, detail shops, and collision repair shops will be happy to assist you with this service. This may cost you more, but it will give you more time to do the things that are most important to you.
