I read about this trick where you rub regular toothpaste onto your car’s headlights and years of grime and buildup are immediately removed.

Sounded too good to be true, given that it costs hundreds of dollars to have it done professionally. But I gave it a shot…figuring that it only takes a few minutes and a small bit of toothpaste.

Surprisingly it works pretty well. After only one pass, my headlight is nearly clear again. I wouldn’t say it sparkles, but it doesn’t look yellow anymore. I might give it a second pass in the morning.

It may only last a few months without applying a sealant, but it’s no problem to repeat the process as needed.
