I’m a 71 year old female. I’m the original owner of a 2004 Honda Accord with only 61K miles. Last evening I was positive my headlights weren’t working. There were areas of my route I had to use high beams. When I got home, I discovered they were working but the lens were so cloudy very little light was getting through. I texted some male friends and said they can be cleaned for $100-300. I discovered your video! I have the Mr Clean magic erasers. I just used a couple days ago to clean the white edge of my tennis shoes. I will buy the spray protectant and clean ASAP. Thank you for your excellent tutorial. I have been able to diagnose and fix several problems myself by watching Utube videos. I will let you know how my application goes. Thank you from Dallas
Thank you so much for this video, I'm an older woman and I live on a fixed income, your video helped me to clean my own headlights and not have to go around asking for help to clean them when I can do it myself. 😊👍💕 You are a God send .
Either your lense is cracked and lets the moisture in or the surrounding is leaking which usually requires at least a $50 or better buy of a new lens.... plastic does not hold up well!!!! @@siry5164
Thank you so much. I have a 2003 Lincoln Town Car and now I will be able to clean the headlights. I, too, am a 79 year old female who has asked many men how to do this with no help. You explained everything so well. Blessings to you.
I just use acetone nail polish remover. Makes them crystal clear in one pass. Don't make more than one pass...additional passes cause the fog again. Don't get it on your paint.
These men these days ain't shit. Excuse my language but it's true. Most of them are trifling and lazy. I have a so called friend who if I ask for his help with something he would rather tear something up than to fix it. That's why I've got to where I stay by myself. If you don't want to see me succeed and you know can't you help me fix especially something electrical then just stay away from me!!
Thanks for your advice. I found a bicarb (baking) soda toothpaste which worked really well. I was left with a fine haze, though. My finishing touch was an application of "Brasso" metal polish: Rub on, leave to dry, then polish off vigorously with a soft cloth. The result is magic! I use Brasso to clean scratches off CDs & DVDs too..!
Crazy Car Mods: Yes, we would LOVE to know how to clean the "moisture" out of the headlights, as well. Thank you for sharing your knowledge & skills with us. I have LIKED and subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to seeing more of your tutorials! I'm very grateful...I LEARNED so much! ;-D
Very nicely done video, I love how you broke it down to easy steps, without skipping important details. But I wanted to know how you applied the clear coat without runs or too little for fovgyness Your layout of products was well done. Two 👍
A couple of years ago, I paid Walmart $25 to clean my headlights. It looked great but only lasted the better part of a year. Thank you for all this info! You've been a blessing to this old woman. 😊
Use a small foam pad on a drill instead of a toothbrush, and you will get much better results. Then put a coat of wax on it and buff it out. When you've done that, use a nano wax product of your choice on the headlights, and follow up with a clean foam pad and you will have the best looking headlights around. Good luck with your restoration project, take care, and stay safe.
Only if you have a drill. As a woman I never had a need for a drill. I'm beginning to see a drill is actually a very helpful item for more than one type of use. I wouldn't know what kind to get though. Are they all the same? I miss my late husband 😒 he took care of all these kinds of things. Everybody should at least learn how to do stuff in case you find yourself in the position to need that skill. 👍
@@BabyMonkeyDefender Definitely get a drill. And different size drill bits. You can use the drill to make holes and to turn screws. It beats a butter knife. Look through some of his tools (if you kept any) I’ll bet you find all sort a helpful items. Then learn what they can do. Have fun with it and good luck. Happy New Year!
I wish SOOOO MUCH whoever got the idea for these PLASTIC HEADLAMPS had them stuck where the sun don't shine. The GLASS Seal Beams were superior and CHEAP to replace. This is just another gimmick the CONSUMER ECONOMY has to keep people BROKE. But having said that, you did a GREAT JOB!!! I have ONE question though, after applying the clear coat, when it goes BAD, it will one of these days, how do you clean it THEN??? Great Video!!! BB
Just get a turtle wax restoration kit and put a lot of clear coating on after your done. The grit paper sands off all of the oxidation and the clear coat protects it from the sun for atleast a year. After any of these in this video you can expect oxidation after 3-6 months. That's why the kit is worth 20$.

THANK YOU FROM THE TOP AND BOTTOM OF MY HEART!!!
Thank you for confirming and proving what I already knew. Now I can prove to everyone I've been trying to tell this to, that I'm not crazy and actually know what I'm talking about! Thank you again!
Thank you for the science lesson, very interesting. Can I use these methods on my tail lights as well? And yes please let me know how to get rid of the moisture in my lights. This was a great video. Thank you.
Thank you for showing an old woman how to clean the headlights on her car it was a great help loved watching the video you are very informative got to the point excellent the best video I've seen yet thank you again God bless
Great video, thank you! I missed the part on the WD40 application. It sounds as if you applied it alone but, what if you apply it after your favorite cleaning method? Oh, and yes, I'd be interested and look forward to watching your video on how you remove condensation and if possible, how to fix the leak/prevent it from happening again.
Very good tips. Never knew about the baking soda and peroxide. I always did the wet sanding and compound. Also, never knew about the clear coat after it. I always just waxed it afterwards to give it an extra layer of protection. It usually lasted about 6 months or so, but i can see that the clear coat would give me a couple years depending on whether i park outside or in a garage. Good info and tips.
thank you so much,such a good video, I have spent alot of money on products trying to clear my bad headlights so really appreciate all the info- I had no idea about the clear coat.
Thank you for taking time to make this video! Very helpful. I liked the mix of 3.. baking soda, hydrogen, and vinegar best. The wd 40 looks crazy good, to bad it's only temporary.
I'd like to see how you get the moisture out of the headlight so if it is somewhere, I didn't see and will keep looking. I've tried a few of these in the past but will definitely try the others. Thanks for the extra ideas.
Thanks so much for the video! My 09 Corolla had terrible yellowing and haze. Cheap kits I've used on other cars won't last long on this one. I'm waiting for the Sylvania kit to get here, but wanted to start the cleaning process so it'll be less work, and needed something that wouldn't leave residue. I was SO happy using the baking soda method, it was amazing, wish I knew of it earlier. I used a heavy paste and repeated it twice, 5-8 min each. The yellow is nearly gone and there's only a slight haze compared to what is was before. Will definitely keep baking soda in mind when I need a quick temporary fix. 😊
Thank you for this wonderfully made video. You knocked this out of the park. Control areas to do side by side comparisons. The video is well laid out and even has labeled chapters. You avoided so many pitfalls of other DIY videos, explaining WHY things work with impressive detail, nobody ever explains why they work. You ACTUALLY reviewed every DIY solution you recommend. Can't tell you how many videos will spend most time on what they think the best one is (theyre usually wrong), and most of the other ones barely get mentioned or ever get explained. About to rinse off my headlights and enjoy a bit more lumens driving at night, they were dangerously bad. Thanks again 🙏🙂
Great Video! I am going to try this on my husband's Car since the lights have clouded over. I use the Magic Eraser on my car a lot. It gets all the black marks off of it and scratches beneath my door handles. It also...... rubs out significant scratches and scrapes. My husband scrapes up his car all the time on the front bumpers. The eraser got rid of 90 percent of the scratch last time. He couldn't believe it when I showed him.
I had heard that you could pay to have someone else clean the headlights. I am 65 and on a fixed income. Your video helped me with my headlights. I favor the toothpaste and soft cloth method. I have assigned parking and drive less than 3,000 miles per year. So, I like the toothpaste result as it last longer for me due to my reduced driving. In a small town you only add up so much mileage. Thanks for your helpful tutorial.😊
FAST FAST FAST Acetone(nail varnish remover) on a microfibre cloth. One pass. Then autoglym(polish) spray and quick buff. Amazing result in about a minute and very little effort.

Hey…thanks for this video was very helpful for me to clean my headlights…….you answered a whole bunch of questions…thanks again…not taken for granted !!
Did wonderful job explaining and steps how each setups never thought use clear gloss paint on them I been using Baking soda Murry oil soap Mix into paste apply some into dry soft sponge rub it in reapply more paste when dryed out on you then rise off with water hoes this last for good 3 month. May try that clear coat trick next round. Again thank you for all your tips clearing the headlights lens and thank you for not applying annoying music with your video.
Find out where moisture is entering, repair it. drill a small hole in an inconspicuous spot and use a hand held vacuum pump to pull a vacuum and hold it for awhile, this will do two things. It will evacuate moisture (same as pulling a vacuum on an a/c system) and it will confirm you have fixed your moisture entry leak. Remove pump, seal hole immediately with your choice of quick setting sealant.
Not quite, but it would be fine never to drink soda again. Our stomach acid pretty much wipes out bad stuff. Can you imagine if our stomach acid was poured on a,rusty nail? It would clean it lol.
Wrong, lol. You realize our stomachs are full of acid, right? And even in your mouth and throat, you have a constant supply of saliva and mucus that minimize any damage, much less the effects you see on plastic. And If you never brush your teeth with fluoride the sugar from the soda will lead to much more damage than any acid.
Great video the charges shop charge for products is so ridiculous ur video are amazing n it cost next to nothing to clean headlights all da products u av in ur kitchen.very well executed
I personally have never been very impressed with the Mr. Clean sponges when compared to results and ease of use with baking soda. Any time I need a soft scrub compound I always use baking soda. Its even great for cleaning hard to scrub spots on the paint. I use it to clean my glass stove top too.
WD40 works great for cleaning headlights. I live in AZ with lots of sun so a little WD 40 every now and then cleans those lights good without using expensive stuff.
Yes ,Sir I've been doing some research on my lights even trued ceramic cleaner for glass stove tops which is a good cleaner only problem it did not last But now with the clear coat amazing . Wow thanks for your help 🙂. 🐝
Great video! I'd just used a bought restoral kit, which uses 800-1200-2000 grit wet&dry sandpaper, then a buffing compound, followed by a gloss coat which smells like glue. It gave a good outcome for $25Au.
I found that Everclear (190 proof alcohol) and a little elbow grease works great at cleaning hazy headlights. Yes, please show us how to remove moisture from inside of headlights. Thank you!
Amazing vid 👏🏾 I tried baking soda+vinegar combo and the results were mind blowing. I also tried the WD40 but it wasn't as long lasting as the former hack. (But the best quick fix!) Wil def try the baking soda n vinegar with the hydrogen peroxide next time!! Hopefully I can cover the rest of my car as it sort of eroded some of the car paint bc it was so potent
Yeah, you can use plastic bags to cover the paint. Also once cleaned use some type of wax/polish to protect the headlights. Car wax or metal wax etc... Or just try the plastic x which is like $7 It will make the headlights last longer
You Can Also Substitute Lemon Juice Or White Grapefruit Juice Instead of White Vinegar or Even along WITH the White Vinegar. Any Of These Alone or In Combination With The White Vinegar WILL Also Provide Same Results.
Thank you. I did many years ago pay to have them done but didn't last. I will be using one of your tips then clear coating. I sure appreciate you posting & showing all ways. 😊
Nice video. These are great hacks, especially if you have hazy headlights and you're going to the car lot to trade in your klunker. The only real way to actually have long lasting results is to sand the headlight lenses with several different grades of sand paper ending up with a 3600 to 4000 grit wet sanding cloth or paper. Then use a special clear coat that does not build up on the lenses.
Thanks for being so clear about how to use each product. Some tutorials are too vague. In your opinion, what works best for really old cars? Ours is a 2004 and I need to do something with it!
If you want an effortlessly method coca cola is a great option. 20 - 30 mins should be good, just make sure to keep the paper towel moist all the time. The other good method you can try is the one with the baking soda. Or you can do both of this at the same time. Start with the coca cola and then to fine tune it, with the baking soda. Once the lenses are cleaner, its very important to put some type of sealant or coating to keep them lasting. I actually did mine long time ago and didn't put anything afterwards, but after a few months the lights started to look a lil yellowish (because no protectant)
For the protectant you can use a polish. Can be car polish or aluminum polish. This will protect your headlights from uv rays. Or you can just use Plastic X from meguiars (I have a link in the description) as a polish. This product is like $7 in walmart, it not only helps to protect but it also cleans. Hope, that helps. 👍

Yea, how do I get rid of that inner headlight moisture? Charles McC
Find out where moisture is entering, repair it.
drill a small hole in an inconspicuous spot and use a hand held vacuum pump to pull a vacuum and hold it for awhile, this will do two things. It will evacuate moisture
(same as pulling a vacuum on an a/c system)
and it will confirm you have fixed your moisture entry leak.
Remove pump, seal hole immediately with your choice of quick setting sealant.
The rug seems to have a certain shimmer to it. It looks absolutely luxurious and exquisite! ❤😊
The coca cola acid and the flouride is an prime example of what it's doing to our insides
Not quite, but it would be fine never to drink soda again. Our stomach acid pretty much wipes out bad stuff. Can you imagine if our stomach acid was poured on a,rusty nail? It would clean it lol.
Wrong, lol. You realize our stomachs are full of acid, right? And even in your mouth and throat, you have a constant supply of saliva and mucus that minimize any damage, much less the effects you see on plastic. And If you never brush your teeth with fluoride the sugar from the soda will lead to much more damage than any acid.
But, dang it's just so Goooood😂
The fluoride in toothpaste has nothing to do with the cleaning ability of the headlamp.
Great video the charges shop charge for products is so ridiculous ur video are amazing n it cost next to nothing to clean headlights all da products u av in ur kitchen.very well executed
Excellent demos ! How to remove moisture from my headlights! Thank you!😅
Heat gun or blow dryer
Really appreciate this extensive test. Appreciate it
Glad you liked it 👍
Glad you liked it 👍
I personally have never been very impressed with the Mr. Clean sponges when compared to results and ease of use with baking soda. Any time I need a soft scrub compound I always use baking soda. Its even great for cleaning hard to scrub spots on the paint. I use it to clean my glass stove top too.
This is excellent! Thank you very much!!
Yes, I need moisture help too, I keep replacing the bulb because of the moisture issue.
Very interesting! I am interested in learning how to clear water out of headlights! May never need to do but may share with someone else. Thanks!!
great simple information. will be doing my 2004 Xterra. Thank you Sir. - N.E. Minnesota USA.
WD40 works great for cleaning headlights. I live in AZ with lots of sun so a little WD 40 every now and then cleans those lights good without using expensive stuff.
Thanks for all the info. Very informative.
Yes ,Sir I've been doing some research on my lights even trued ceramic cleaner for glass stove tops which is a good cleaner only problem it did not last But now with the clear coat amazing . Wow thanks for your help 🙂. 🐝
I have watched many videos but you are the only one that made sense. Thank you.
Excellent ideas. Yes, I want to know how to remove moisture from the headlights.
Drill a small hole in one of the corner will clear the moisture out
I ABSOLUTELY enjoyed your video. You explained everything very, very, well. I will watch all your videos. Thanks Again For The Tips..!!❤
Great video! I'd just used a bought restoral kit, which uses 800-1200-2000 grit wet&dry sandpaper, then a buffing compound, followed by a gloss coat which smells like glue. It gave a good outcome for $25Au.
Your the only person that told about long lasting clear coat
Excellent video........... thank you for taking the time to explain each process.
I found that Everclear (190 proof alcohol) and a little elbow grease works great at cleaning hazy headlights.
Yes, please show us how to remove moisture from inside of headlights. Thank you!
Have you tried Chrome polish? It works great. It also works on windshields with hard water spots
The combo is the best so far.
Great video! Love the hacks! Awesome trying them all, very objective.
I done my wifes honda and it looks like new again I strongly suggest the clear coat
This was AWESOME!!!
How do you get the moisture out of the headlight?
With a propane torch?
Hairdryer??
Thank you for this video! This will definitely help me out. Please show how to get moisture out of them also. Thanks again!
Just wet sand the headlights with a really fine grit sand paper and then rinse clean then spray it clear coat.
Thanks for the headlight restoration video! I learned a lot and I'm going to try it out on my 08 Ram 1500:)
I heard Cutter insecr repellent worked. I tried it and yes it worked..
The black car n light grey look like new great job.
Amazing vid 👏🏾
I tried baking soda+vinegar combo and the results were mind blowing. I also tried the WD40 but it wasn't as long lasting as the former hack. (But the best quick fix!)
Wil def try the baking soda n vinegar with the hydrogen peroxide next time!!
Hopefully I can cover the rest of my car as it sort of eroded some of the car paint bc it was so potent
Yeah, you can use plastic bags to cover the paint. Also once cleaned use some type of wax/polish to protect the headlights. Car wax or metal wax etc...
Or just try the plastic x which is like $7
It will make the headlights last longer
You Can Also Substitute Lemon Juice Or White Grapefruit Juice Instead of White Vinegar or Even along WITH the White Vinegar.
Any Of These Alone or In Combination With The White Vinegar WILL Also Provide Same Results.
Thank you so much for your help.will try the combo tomorrow
Lol the presenter literally said the WD40 was just a quick fix.
Wow! Thanks for the heads up on the car paint issue! I sure don't want to damage THAT!
Nice job! Yes, we would like you to show us how to get the condensation out of headlights. Thanks!👍🏼
Wow this is so great... thank you God Bless!!!😍
Thank you. I think after cleaning, I will use UV spray protectant designed for my RV roof' plastic covers.
Thank you for posting this video
I’ll give those ideas a try
Love this! Can't wait to try! I would like to see how to remove the moisture.
They both look good, but I like the combo side better. Thanks for sharing! 😊
Thank you. I did many years ago pay to have them done but didn't last. I will be using one of your tips then clear coating. I sure appreciate you posting & showing all ways. 😊
Great secrets to know ,thanks .And great money savers also.
I am so glad I researched this! Thank you so much for your detailed demostration! You are amazing!❤
Great well thought out video guide!
Too hard to change my headlight assembly so this is perfect thank you.
No problem 👍
I used WD40 and it works great!
Nice video. These are great hacks, especially if you have hazy headlights and you're going to the car lot to trade in your klunker. The only real way to actually have long lasting results is to sand the headlight lenses with several different grades of sand paper ending up with a 3600 to 4000 grit wet sanding cloth or paper. Then use a special clear coat that does not build up on the lenses.
Thanks for being so clear about how to use each product. Some tutorials are too vague. In your opinion, what works best for really old cars? Ours is a 2004 and I need to do something with it!
If you want an effortlessly method coca cola is a great option. 20 - 30 mins should be good, just make sure to keep the paper towel moist all the time.
The other good method you can try is the one with the baking soda.
Or you can do both of this at the same time.
Start with the coca cola and then to fine tune it, with the baking soda.
Once the lenses are cleaner, its very important to put some type of sealant or coating to keep them lasting. I actually did mine long time ago and didn't put anything afterwards, but after a few months the lights started to look a lil yellowish (because no protectant)
For the protectant you can use a polish. Can be car polish or aluminum polish. This will protect your headlights from uv rays.
Or you can just use Plastic X from meguiars (I have a link in the description) as a polish. This product is like $7 in walmart, it not only helps to protect but it also cleans.
Hope, that helps. 👍
I just use acetone nail polish remover. Makes them crystal clear in one pass. Don't make more than one pass...additional passes cause the fog again. Don't get it on the paint.
I myself have been using white vineager for years on my headlights ! It works great !😊
If you have Mothers Mag Polish around your garage, it works great for cleaning headlights also.
I used this & it worked pretty well. I then put a coat of carnuba wax, polished it up nicely with some protection against further yellowing.
YES, please show how to clean inside of headlights.
