So, I was researching a remedy for the yellowing of the plastic that covers a car's headlights and found info on everything from sandpaper to chemical solvents and all manner of polishes and detailing services. Costs from $20- $40.

Then I tried something I read on a car care message board...toothpaste.

And it worked! They're all clear and shiny now.

So give the toothpaste a try before the more expensive methods.

any special type of toothpaste?

for instance....whitening??

great advice, thank you!

It was some old Pepsodent that I had lying around, (it cleans jewelry too)...I use the expensive non-flouride stuff on my teeth these days.

I just tried and my headlights do look shinier!!! Thank you!! I was going to buy some stuff at Dollar General for $6 and clean them so this tip was right on time!!

Now if you have any helpful tips on how to find and unplug drain holes I will love you forever!!!
