Money Saving Tip: Make Your Headlights Shine with Ordinary Toothpaste

Comparison of a cloudy versus a restored car headlight.

Dirty or hazy headlights can cause your visibility to drastically decrease, but the kits to clean them can be expensive. Save yourself some money and time with this fast and easy trick.

All you need is a tube of toothpaste, a towel or rag that you don't mind getting dirty, and some water. You can add some baking soda (or use toothpaste with baking soda in it) for extra cleaning power.

Put some toothpaste on the rag and scrub in a circular motion.

Do the same on the other side and rinse. Repeat if necessary and admire your newly clean headlights!
