way easier and better then tooth paste, find a good cut polish and buffing wheel, works amazing! detailed for years and thats how we did it everytime

I used Turtle Wax restoration kit...it was crystal clear after the polish, but got hazy within 10 days.

I recently used the Turtle wax restoration kit from Canadian Tire and its been working great so far.

Pretty simple, sand with 4 different grits, polish, then wipe with some lens sealing wipe that susposedly stops from hazing after.

Well worth the 12 dollars

Hey do you actually own a jeep or is that just a random photo?
... because I have some mint stock headlights sitting in my garage identical to those posted above LOL

If not, get the sylvania headlight restoration kit. It's $20 and was rated the best restoration kit by consumer reports. I bought mine off ebay for ~$25 with shipping. It comes with several different grits of sand paper and a clearcoat you can apply yourself.

The clearcoat they supply makes the fix more or less permanent. Polishes will wear off, if you sand/buff and re-clear, it won't wear off.

I have to fix my headlights too, I wonder if using my baking soda, lemon juice solution will work on it. I'll try it out and give it a shot. cheaper than wasting tooth paste.

Most important thing to do after clearing up your headlights, paint, etc, anything with a coat of protection on it is to re-apply protection. Whether you sanded or polished it you're removing some if not all of the previous protection!! For headlights in this case you could apply sealant, or some people choose to wrap what they sanded or polished with clear vinyl, if you don't it'll just haze up and your hard work would have gone to waste

1. Oxidized, hazy headlights, use wet sanding and then machine compound, polish.
2. Scratched headlight, jump straight to machine compound, polish.

Meguiars scratchX or ultimate compound works great. Its probably what the headlight kits consist of for the same price.

meguiars plastx did work. not significantly. but adequate enough.
