As cars reach a certain age, the headlights tend to get a little yellow in color. In some cases, headlights can be difficult to clean because they may be permanently damaged by heat. However, in other cases, you can clean off the cloudy residue with a few household items.
Toothpaste and insect repellent are known DIY ways to clean your headlights. You simply take a rag and some toothpaste, then start scrubbing the outside of the light. Insect repellent has a few warnings. If you use it, you should be careful to keep it away from the paint as it has properties that can dull or break down paint over time.
In addition, you can purchase headlight restoration kits that contain abrasives and polish that also work to clean your lights. If you want to truly get your lights restored, you should talk to a professional at Timber Ford of Hayward.
