Minty Fresh Headlights?

As promised I busted out the toothpaste and got polishing. When you think of toothpaste beyond the dentist-recommended two-minute routine of minty, circular motions, brushing teeth is essentially a form of polishing with a mild abrasive. The result is a clean, slick surface and fresh breath.

Before:


This is a headlight after 50,000 miles, the clear plastic covers oxidized and hazy (kinda like the sky over San Bernardino on a hot summer afternoon).



This 99 cent travel-sized Crest is good enough for at least 5 pairs of headlights. Apply the paste in small circles, let it dry to a haze (about a minute), and then clean off with a mild cleaner (such as a diluted solution of Simple Green). The whole process took less than 5 minutes.

After:


Like the miracle of an infomercial, the results are astounding! As you can see the headlight shows much brighter and perhaps the biggest return is the improved visibility.

Now get drivin'!!
