Tried the old toothpaste trick on my headlights today.

Smells minty fresh too

Prevents cavities too, so no more stone chips.

Wow that works? Sounds like an idea a drunk would have.

My headlights look misty too, what do you do?

Toothpaste is a mild abrasive - just like a cutting compound.

Another good one is Jif cream cleaner. Although I think it's now called Cif

Put the toothpaste on, use circular motions and rub with kitchen roll, keep rubbing until it starts to dry then add a bit of water and rub, then rinse off. You don't need too much toothpaste either, a line about 4 inches for each headlight.

I often use mine with Tcut when i want a bit more aggression Just have to use plenty of water during the process and finish off with a nice fine cut high gloss polish otherwise you get micromarring and holograms.

Car body polish supposedly has harmful solvents in it.

I used some stuff from Pinball Wizard, or Plexus is your friend.

Whereas when I used T-Cut on my teeth, I was as sick as a dog.

Funny how the world works innit?
