How to clean car headlights with toothpaste

Since your vehicle encounters a lot of dirt and grime on the road, it’s important to keep it clean. Not only does washing your car make it look better, but it also extends its life and reduces the chance for rust to take over. Specific areas of your vehicle may require more work to wash, but they may also make the most difference. For instance, your headlights can get pretty foggy over time, reducing your ability to see the road after dusk. If you’ve noticed it’s becoming more difficult to see out of your vehicle in the dark, take a look at our step-by-step guide for how to clean car headlights with toothpaste.

3 Simple steps to clean your headlights with toothpaste

  1. Gather the items you’ll need: a bottle of toothpaste, old towels, and a bucket of water.
  2. Squeeze some toothpaste onto one of the towels and scrub the headlight. Now, take a look at the towel and see just how dirty your headlights were. Amazing!
  3. Pour some of the water over the headlight to rinse the toothpaste off. Use a clean towel to wipe them down again and ensure all the filth is gone.

There you have it! Now, your headlights should look brand new! Or at least much better than they were before. If you have any questions about cleaning your headlights or washing any other part of your vehicle, please feel free to contact our service professionals at Sherwood Ford or get in touch with your local auto mechanic.
