No sense buying new lights. If it worked for you, well more power to you. Chances are it will haze up in a bit though, might just be easier to buff it up and use a legit cleaning product.

i just use a polishing compund whenever my headlights start looking a bit dull.

the proper way to restore headlights is to wetsand with 2000 grit, clearcoat spray, let dry, wetsand with 2000 lightly, clear again, wetsand with 2000, buff and polish to smothen it out. put as many layers of clear a youd like. after this, itll last or quite some time.

funny, I was about to brush my teeth right now.. no, really, I'm in the bathroom even. why would I put something I put in my mouth on my car? I guess it could eat through SOME stuff....

Toothpaste works too. Hood rich.
this is true. the same "grit" in the toothpaste to remove the plaque off of teeth with help smooth out the lense.


+ rep for ghetto fab facts! <3

For people looking for a way to keep freshly polished lenses clear without clear coating like Coy mentioned try this http://www.invisiblemask.com/bulkfilm.html

The stuff works great, I have a large portion of my car covered in it. And for the headlights its perfect, just polish them well and apply this film. The film actually makes them look even better then just polished, and they wont yellow on you again in two weeks.
