#3 of 4 Headlight COVERING; Visibility; Scratched? by fleastiff Jun 11, 2009 (10:50 am)
My local quick oil change place offers a 109.00 treatment for the "glass" (plastic?) covering over the headlights/parking lights assembly. It looks like they treat it with various mild acid solutions and perhaps some abrasives and elbow grease. I have noticed that the plastic(?) coverings have become clouded, probably due to sandy or dusty roads. Should I simply scrub it with toothpaste or something? Water? Abrasive cleanser? I sure don't want to pay 109.00 to be able to shine a bit more light on the road at night and to be seen by other vehicles more readily. Replies to this message: 442dude (Jun 14, 2009 6:00 pm)

Replying to: fleastiff (Jun 11, 2009 10:50 am) I"ve read that toothpaste will work - also in your auto parts store they sell a kit to buff up the plastic and clear it up - when we still had our Venture, I tried a little rubbing compound on one in a small spot and it did clear the haze, I just never did the rest and we solved the problem by trading it in for a new vehicle.
