Fogged headlights anyone???

[DanR33]

yes my R33 suffered from the fogged head lights desease that many 33's do... Ive heard stories about plastic polish doing the job but I dont just have that laying around the house...

I tried all house hold items like jiff etc... and they just made it worse...

then I heard what sounded like an old wives tale... toothpaste... I thought "why not... they cant get any worse..."

on went the toothpaste with a expensive applicater (my finger)... waited til it dried... then off it came with a clean rag aswell as all the fog... my headlights look brand new... give it a try!!! is there anything toothpaste cant do???

Haha, yeah toothpaste works well, but it won't be too long till there fogged up again:(

I used normal polish and it came up a treat and has not gone back since and that was a year ago...

Meguirs Wet Look is what I used. I have also heard of using a light metal polish such as Autosol works, but cannot verify for myself...

Just Jap in Kirrawee ( NSW ) sell tubes of plastic cleaner at $20 a pop that works VERY well and is specifically for this type of problem. It's imported from Japan so good luck reading the instructions ! Not a polish but a cleaner.

The odd thing is........it does smell a bit like toothpaste........but works much better.

I read somewhere (maybe SAU) that Brasso would work....sounded just dodgey enough, so gave it a go and it works pretty well but they do fog over again after a few weeks.

Might give toothpaste a try next time though...cause it sounds even dodgier

sounds like ur paying $20 for japanese toothpaste... try brushing ur teeth with it... maybe itll make ur teeth cleaner than normal toothpaste too!!!

just a reminder that toothpaste is only like $3 per tube hey...

as for the dodgie comment... if theres any dodgier than toothpaste ill try it too!!!
