Instructions

Using masking tape, tape off surrounding edges around your headlights to protect the finish on your car. Make sure that you are very careful and do not scratch the paint with the steel wool.

Using 0000 super fine steel wool and white toothpaste (Not Gel), rub the toothpaste over the lens for several minutes until your lens is completely smooth. Now rub vigorously with the terry cloth towel and white tooth paste until it is super clear.

After your headlight lens is perfectly clear, apply a coat of car wax following the directions on the container. Wash and wax regularly to keep protected.
