A quick trick to boost your car’s look and nighttime visibility
Foggy, yellowed headlights don’t just make your car look old — they also reduce your visibility at night.
But before you spend money on expensive restoration kits, try this quick, budget-friendly hack: plain white toothpaste.
Yes, really. With just a few common items, you can polish your headlights and improve both your car’s appearance and your safety in just a few minutes.
White toothpaste (non-gel, no microbeads)
A soft cloth or an old toothbrush
A bit of clean water
Wipe down the headlight with water and a cloth to remove surface dirt.
Apply a small amount of toothpaste directly to the lens.
Gently rub in circular motions using your cloth or toothbrush for 2–3 minutes.
Rinse thoroughly with water.
Dry with a clean cloth and admire the result!

A cleaner, fresher look for your car in seconds
After cleaning, you can apply a layer of car wax or a plastic polish to help protect the lens from future oxidation.
