Product That Works Great

Posted a couple of weeks ago about fog up headlight's. I bought a kit made by 3M at Auto Zone for around a 20 spot. They look brand new once I finished. Saw on You Tube about using toothpaste or peanut butter.

Best bet is to make yourself a peanut butter sandwich eat it and brush your teeth with the tooth past. Neither will de-fog your light lens.

Saw a video, where the fellow used 40% Repel mosquito repellant. Looked like it worked, for how long I don't know

None of those will last. Sand and bug acid, specially Love Bugs, will make them glaze over. It's really terrible on a Class 8 truck that runs 130,000 miles a yr.

Yep...clean cotton rag (old sock works good)..moderately moist with acetone. If multiple wipes required, keep turning the rag to a clean spot. This is an old used car dealers trick.

This will not clean as crisp as polishing, but it does reasonably well and is very quick.

I saw on facebook that you can use OFF it was a video of some guy used it and it did clean the headlights and made them look brand new. I was impressed and we all have a can in our rigs...

Costco sells a kit for buffing out fogged headlights, that has enough stuff to do several vehicles. One important thing (that I learned the hard way) is that after buffing, you need to coat the newly sparkling headlights with some sort of UV protectant, and re-apply after washing. There is a UV protectant in the kit.

The 3M kit from Autozone is good, just don't forget the extra protectant step. If you don't use a protectant, you will have to re-buff your headlights in a few months.

Toothpaste should work fine. It's a mild abrasive and has been used to take small scratches out of paint for decades. I've successfully used polishing compound on mine, but I have buffers and wheels.
