YouTube - Remove Yellow haze on headlights...

But he does state that he wished he had a machine to polish with.. I might try it with an electric toothbush then lol

it works but doesn't last long

Its easily explained - toothpastes contain silica (basically sand) as an abrasive.

I wonder if you can see visible scratches under bright lighting conditions?

Main thing is yeah it might not last long

Ive just tried this on the wifes cousins Focus. They had turned yellow. All I used was colgate toothpaste and they came up like new. Neither the wife or her cousin dint believe me untill they saw the condition of them afterwards.
