Headlight cleaning hack

[@bamlook2640]

Just tried it and it works, it works very fast. After washing it off with some water I used some window cleaner on it 😊. Just letting you all know my light was extremely yellow

I used a lemon with baking soda. The citric acid works great on the lenses. If they are really bad, do it 2-3 times.

It’s a quick remedy. Obviously not as good as sanding and polishing but just for something quick and easy it works

[@justinbond558]

Actually, if you had really yellowed headlights, if you hit it with this a couple times, then do the proper restoration (with a 2k clear to finish), it helps save on your sand paper expenses. Not much, but a little bit.

[@JenJen0582]

What grit sandpaper do you use?

[@JenJen0582]

@@donniev8181 how do you do that? Just curious how you get fumes and he did acetone. I would love to try that.

[@Lilian040210]

Baking soda is basically like sanding

[@Daniel_Antonio_Arellano782]

If the clear coat is not too bad. It may work. But temporarily. You have to sand down the old clear with 600 grit, then 1000 grit, then 1500. Spray some 2k clear and then buff it and finally polish it.

[@donniev8181]

It took 19 years to get that bad the first time, no need for permanence.

[@TheStonedbanana]

​@@donniev8181 it started that 19 years with a factory clear coat that had an activator to cure it like 2K Clear Coat does. I doubt that baking soda citrus acid polish lasts a year. Sanding and polishing may last three years, but I got 2K Clear Coat this time so it will last much longer.

[@donniev8181]

@@TheStonedbanana my old 03 Accord's headlights became clear again with one treatment of Plastix, it barely has any grit in it whatsoever.

[@TheStonedbanana]

@@donniev8181 I'm not focusing on what it takes to get them clearer, that depends on how oxidized they are, I'm talking about keeping them clear once the clear coat is broken down or gone. My car is from 2013, but it's always been outside in the Texas and Oklahoma sun. Sanding is the only way they'll be clear again and the clear coat that's left will get removed.

I saw a hack where they used off insect repellent on the headlight. It also worked not using off spray on my skin again ever.

It’s also a nail polish remover 😮

​@@MRD.87😮 No.?? Thanks for telling us this.

[@theblondemommyX4]

You can also use mosquito repellent for that! That’s what I use 😅, works pretty good too! Just have to make sure your hurry and wipe it off cause it does dry quickly

[@SarcasmSage-w6o]

[@YandelSantacruz]

Thank you it actually works I tried it

Put some car polish on them afterwards. It will help with the shine and protect them as well

[@jessicalowe4970]

How much are you selling vehicle for?

[@coolbub1]

Just use headlight fluid

[@randomguywithasilkyfella]

just use baking soda and vinegar

[@pommedivan6908]

Can a paste of Bar Keepers Friends and a bit of water be used instead? Is it too corrosive for the car paint around the headlight area?

[@ASentientPlant]

I would test on a small hidden patch first but it should be fine. BKF is basically baking soda with some additions

[@mayermettle6193]

Not worth your time, i tried it only lasted one day

[@Lofiguitarvibes]

Use Hair Dryer brother 😊

[@enedifanovaha7713]

@@Lofiguitarvibes I'll dry it thanks

[@RogueSmithersCouple]

It would work without the orange too. You're using an abrasive medium to remove oxidization build up. Fine grit sandpaper also works and is what is in all the headlight restoration kits along with a lubricating spray which could be replaced with water. Stop the hacks and the gimmicks and just use what is proven to work without costing a shitload of money

[@StevenAngelo-te3sq]

Are you sure work also on Cadillac

[@jaclynsteachingjourney4229]

He's trying to sell the car, so he's probably not concerned about how long it will last. He just wanted a quick fix to help sell it.

[@JenJen0582]

Regular white toothpaste does a good job too. Just rub it on, let it dry and buffet off with a wreck. Don’t use the gel kind of toothpaste.

[@donduckensen441]

Now spray some clear on them

[@prasannakargal]

Yes sir it works great on faded headlight..

[@mariomcmichael3230]

ive seen ppl even spray WD- 40 first then use the grapefruit and baking soda

Baking soda can literally clean the entire world.

[@janettolway8538]

If it's a hatchback it will sell without having to clean it!!

[@janetcrane8333]

I don't see this doing anything other than unfogging the lens. If u have Halogen lights the problem is inside the headlight. The reflection material has fallen off the walls inside the headlight and does not light up the headlight.

[@journeytoban6410]

The best thing is to take a sanding wheel to it and then spray a clear coat on it

[@Zerocyxone9]

Never spray clear coat…it will make the headlights worse and diffuse the headlight bad specially when paint get old…or if you park your car under the sun…better to just clean it off whenever it gets foggy in a week or two…

[@journeytoban6410]

@Athan headlights come with a clear coat on them, it's just sanding the old clear off and putting a new one on, pretty standard stuff

[@brandon33371]

@@Zerocyxone9 bruh who told u that nonsense? What do you think protects the plastic from UV rays?

[@brokenchair853]

Get a polishing pad with a backing plate as well as a cordless drill and some clear plastic polish. Works even better if you wet sand it with 800, 1000, then 2000 grit sandpaper as well as wiping off the headlights after each stage of sanding. After all of that. Spray it twice with headlight coating from meguiars and it will last up to a year without fogging or oxidizing!

[@RickySpanish-eo1nc]

It’ll actually last longer as long you put some additional protection on top of the coating at least everything two months.

[@neilwilliams2193]

There's only one problem bro. Your headlights were not stained yellow. They already had a clear look.
