Over time, the headlights on your car or Handyguy Hauler may not shine at full brightness. The lenses may need restoration. In this video, the Handyguys produced a video comparing a commercial product for headlight lens restoration. The Handyguys then compare this to a home remedy.
Commercial Headlight Lens Restoration
There are many products that a DIYer can use for headlight lens restoration. Handyguy Paul use the Sylvania Headlight Restoration Kit
DIY Hack Headlight Lens Restoration–Toothpaste!
If you want to try a DIY hack for restoring your lens, then many suggest using toothpaste! You use toothpaste as a polish. First, clean the lens thoroughly with window glass cleaner and then polish with toothpaste. Make sure that you are using the white toothpaste rather than a gel.
Conclusions
While the toothpaste did an okay job, it didn’t really compare to the final results of the commercial product. The Handyguys recommend the DIY-er to spend a few bucks and get the Sylvania Headlight Restoration Kit
I payed a pretty penny to have this done to my head lights and it did make a big difference and I can tell it’s time to do this again. However I’m going to try your way and see how it goes:).
I’m always shocked at how big a difference a set of restored headlights makes. I bought a new car recently and for the first few days I kept thinking I was driving with my brights on! Interesting call on the toothpaste, though…
A great video. I was actually just looking up you guys after getting into a small fender bender.
Thanks for the help!
