After a period of use, the car's headlights will become dim, affecting the brightness. Below are the cleaning steps to help keep your car's headlights looking like new.
 |
Pre-cleaning:For best results, wash the entire car, at least the front, first to remove dirt. Dry after washing so that water does not stick to the lights during cleaning. |
 |
Seal around the light:Use specialized paint tape to cover around the car lights, not the parts that need to be cleaned. Cover all parts that can be damaged, including turn signals, during the polishing and sanding process. |
 |
Wipe with toothpaste:The simplest and most economical way. Put toothpaste on a cloth, wipe the entire lamp, then rinse with water and dry. Toothpaste is mildly abrasive, it can remove dirt and fill scratches, and polish the plastic part of the lamp. However, do not use toothpaste with cooling particles, crystals or similar ingredients because they will scratch the lamp. |
 |
Scrub with soap and sandpaper:Wash the headlights with soap and water and dry them. Then, rub the headlights with 400- or 800-grit sandpaper to remove any remaining dirt. Next, use a finer grit sandpaper and rub in the other direction to restore the clarity of the headlights. |
