ambrose607 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Hi Raiders. Just wanted to share a tip i got this week. My headlights were getting that dull/faded look about them. A guy from the big road side assistance mob told me to polish them with tooth paste. Done it today and they come up like new. (can actually see the bulbs now). I used WW own brand. Has to be paste not Gel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antonywardle Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Did it have the bleaching agent in ot to? I'm guessing that it is the slightly gritty toothpaste good tips. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amkr Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 you can also use autosol - its the grit that restores the shine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boattart Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Toothpaste can be like a fine cutting compound. I used to know a couple of mates that polished there trolling lures with toothpaste to remove scratches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antonywardle Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I'm guessing your car now has a nice minty smell too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camo1808 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I have used that trick for years and its bloody brilliant!! A better one. Slightly more costly is get a clear lacker once cleaned up and prevents for about 4 or 5 years. Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambrose607 Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 Yep nice minty smell. I also flossed the tires with a screw driver. All those small rocks caught in the tread. HA HA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
