Quick and easy headlight clean.
 

Well the headlights on my Del Sol were hazy and the light output was suffering. So I decided to do a quick clean job. Searched, but didn't see anything posted on it before.

First you need some basic supplies. Toothpaste (make sure it has flouride) and a microfiber or buffing cloth.

Next apply a semi thick layer of the tooth paste to your lights.

Just buff the toothpaste off with some decent pressure and rinse with water. Here is the before and after pics.

Works great for a cheap ass like me :P

Looks real good man.. I'm gonna try that out tommorow or tonight.

Re: Quick and easy headlight clean.
 

Damn! Nice job man.

I have used 1000 grit sandpaper followed by 2000 grit wet sand. Then to finish it off i use rubbing compound and a coat of wax. Your way looked a lot easier. I might have to try it on my wife's integra.

How does the light output look after you are done?

Re: Quick and easy headlight clean.
 

Just did this today so as soon as it gets dark I will check. Mine were bad, the aux lights on my Del Sol were brighter than the low beams :1

combine that with a buffer wheel and a drill and you'll really have something

Re: Quick and easy headlight clean.
 

Yeah I was scared to use the buffer wheel because I know some will mess up plastic. (my headlights are plastic)

Checked the light output after it got dark and it is very noticeable. I wish I would have thought to take before pictures of the light output.
