Headlight Restoration: How to Clean Car Headlights (DIY)

Introduction

Plastic lenses can become dull, scratched and yellow over time. Polishing them will clear the haze. Restore your car headlights in 45 minutes for less than $15, rather than spending $100s to replace them.

Tools Required

  • Flannel polishing cloth
  • Latex gloves
  • Masking tape
  • Wet & dry sandpaper (1000 to 2500 grit)

Materials Required

  • Plastic polish

Note: The following procedure will not repair damage to the inside lens of the headlamp. You should replace a headlamp if the reflective coating is peeling or corroded.
