How do you get hazed over looking headlights on a used car to look clear again? Thanks.
By Shirley
Call a business like Auto Zone to ask about a product that can clean the haze from car's head lamps.
What is a good, simple way to clean a car's headlights?

If your headlight covers are plastic, you could spend 10 or 20 bucks on a fancy headlight cleaner kit, but I've heard that toothpaste works just as well as the expensive kit. You probably shouldn't use a blue minty gel, I'm sure that won't work too well. *L* I'd use a white paste on a microfiber cloth and scrub away. Be sure to rinse well.
I have glass lenses on my old car, so soap and water works just fine.
I tried toothpaste, the kits from the auto store and nothing helps! It's $1200 each to replace them do you think a deoxidizer will work?

You should try using "OFF" bug spray (or anything similar with DEET in its composition). It sounds crazy, but it worked for me!

I just recently got my first car. To my surprise, my new car's headlights weren't the best. They were foggy and didn't look the way I thought a new car's should look.
I have a friend who cleaned his headlights on his '72 Chevy with toothpaste and they looked great but when I tried it on my '89 Mustang they just clouded up.
The plastic head light covers on my '98 Chrysler Town & Country van have developed a heavy film covering over them.
