Toothpaste to restore headlights? ***MYTH CONFIRMED***

The headlights in my car were in pretty bad and blurry condition and I even thought about buying new ones. I had previously tried to clean them with soap, alcohol, etc. but with zero to none results.

Then I decided to try to find if the current ones could be restored and after a short google, I found several different kits to clean and polish the lights and then some instances about toothpaste.

could toothpaste really cure the lights?

I was somewhat skeptical, as I had tried different solvents previously, but hadn’t use proper rubbing. So I bought the cheapest toothpaste from local store and got to work.

Let the pictures do the rest of the talking 🙂
