While I was channel surfing from the couch yesterday I saw a guy claening a hazed up headlight on some little foreign car with Crest toothpaste. I dont know how well it really works, but it seemed to work pretty good for him. I'm going to try it on the ol'ladys Suzuki Swift.

I've tried all the "quickie" remedies myself, and they generally work for the short term but the headlights will yellow again before long.

This time around I did a real job on them...wet sanding and all. I'm hoping they hold up for awhile, they look nearly new right now.

I used Mother's polish before as well.It did a good job.BUUUUUT,That 3M kit from Autozone or WalMart really did an outstanding job,and after a few months,the lights still look great.Easy to use and worth the $9.99 price.
