Just tried it and it works, it works very fast. After washing it off with some water I used some window cleaner on it 😊. Just letting you all know my light was extremely yellow
@@eddalton8530 there are hundreds of situations where you might want to polish something (at least in my case). K2 Ultra Cut costs like 5$ for a tube that will last you a lifetime.
Actually, if you had really yellowed headlights, if you hit it with this a couple times, then do the proper restoration (with a 2k clear to finish), it helps save on your sand paper expenses. Not much, but a little bit.
If the clear coat is not too bad. It may work. But temporarily. You have to sand down the old clear with 600 grit, then 1000 grit, then 1500. Spray some 2k clear and then buff it and finally polish it.
@@donniev8181 it started that 19 years with a factory clear coat that had an activator to cure it like 2K Clear Coat does. I doubt that baking soda citrus acid polish lasts a year. Sanding and polishing may last three years, but I got 2K Clear Coat this time so it will last much longer.
@@donniev8181 I'm not focusing on what it takes to get them clearer, that depends on how oxidized they are, I'm talking about keeping them clear once the clear coat is broken down or gone. My car is from 2013, but it's always been outside in the Texas and Oklahoma sun. Sanding is the only way they'll be clear again and the clear coat that's left will get removed.
@@TheStonedbanana they make a spray that coats your headlight to protect them against yellowing. I have some but I left it at my dad's but when I go down to his house I'll come back and link the name.
You can also use mosquito repellent for that! That’s what I use 😅, works pretty good too! Just have to make sure your hurry and wipe it off cause it does dry quickly
I don't see this doing anything other than unfogging the lens. If u have Halogen lights the problem is inside the headlight. The reflection material has fallen off the walls inside the headlight and does not light up the headlight.
Never spray clear coat…it will make the headlights worse and diffuse the headlight bad specially when paint get old…or if you park your car under the sun…better to just clean it off whenever it gets foggy in a week or two…
Get a polishing pad with a backing plate as well as a cordless drill and some clear plastic polish. Works even better if you wet sand it with 800, 1000, then 2000 grit sandpaper as well as wiping off the headlights after each stage of sanding. After all of that. Spray it twice with headlight coating from meguiars and it will last up to a year without fogging or oxidizing!
best way to do is get clear coat k2 wash headlight first dry get clear coat k2 spray three time let it dry get scratch remover put it on light polish like fuck they will come out like new
Didn’t work for me. They looked brand new for about an hour. Went back to check and they were hazy again. I cleaned them with water thinking the baking soda was still on them, but they looked the same.
@@bridgettecampbell9475 yeah your better getting new headlights actually because if you " fix them " this way they are more prone to yellowing and oxidation anyways, and protect them with a wax or similiar product
@Colton Loberg just wet sand your headlights with a 1000 grit then 3000 grit then finish with a polish paste. Lastly use a UV protective clear coat. They sell headlight kits with all what I listed for around 30$. Stuff works, and is definitely cheaper then a new headlight
They look awfull and without a coat it will be rigth back in 3 months. Plus the price orange and baking soda are is not muvh of a different if you buy professional kit.
I rubbed a lemon all over my face and eyeballs and got a girlfriend ,but unfortunately she has achne and buck teeth and is a little over weight. ...I will squirt a lemon in her eyes

I used a lemon with baking soda. The citric acid works great on the lenses. If they are really bad, do it 2-3 times.
or buy polishing/scratch removal paste like a sane person.
@@009Daft600yes.. because sane people prefer to spend more money lmao ..

Just got an advisory on my MOT, so will be doing the lemon and baking soda.
If you want the acid to do something, why are you neutralizing it with baking soda?
It’s a quick remedy. Obviously not as good as sanding and polishing but just for something quick and easy it works

What grit sandpaper do you use?
@@donniev8181 how do you do that? Just curious how you get fumes and he did acetone. I would love to try that.
Regular white toothpaste does a good job too. Just rub it on, let it dry and buffet off with a wreck. Don’t use the gel kind of toothpaste.

It took 19 years to get that bad the first time, no need for permanence.

@@TheStonedbanana my old 03 Accord's headlights became clear again with one treatment of Plastix, it barely has any grit in it whatsoever.

If you don't seal it, it will be fuzzy again before you know it.

Not worth your time, i tried it only lasted one day
Thanks everyone!!! Gonna try this. 2004 Honda CRV.
Now spray some clear on them
Can a paste of Bar Keepers Friends and a bit of water be used instead? Is it too corrosive for the car paint around the headlight area?
ive seen ppl even spray WD- 40 first then use the grapefruit and baking soda
Thank you it actually works I tried it
Gonna try on my car today!
Rather eat the orange 🍊🤤
What about adding UV protectant to ensure it stays looking good?
Wow this works
It may work but it doesn't last.
How much are you selling vehicle for?
I don't see this doing anything other than unfogging the lens. If u have Halogen lights the problem is inside the headlight. The reflection material has fallen off the walls inside the headlight and does not light up the headlight.
But for how long
If it's a hatchback it will sell without having to clean it!!
I do it with lemon and baking soda and really works....with one... difference.....I used...WP 4O...to clean it at the end....!!!...👍...
Jeeez!! Don’t do that
@@napolitano915 You say that... but it works...
@@user-sn4ey7cm7h yes for a short term, but you are destroying your lights, just like with wd40
The best thing is to take a sanding wheel to it and then spray a clear coat on it
Never spray clear coat…it will make the headlights worse and diffuse the headlight bad specially when paint get old…or if you park your car under the sun…better to just clean it off whenever it gets foggy in a week or two…
@Athan headlights come with a clear coat on them, it's just sanding the old clear off and putting a new one on, pretty standard stuff
@@Zerocyxone9 bruh who told u that nonsense? What do you think protects the plastic from UV rays?
It's foggy because of the UV rays 2K clear coat is the best to protect from the sun and get back the shine
Are any remedies perminant? Or is eberything temporary?
The whole plastic is baked there is no sanding down

It’ll actually last longer as long you put some additional protection on top of the coating at least everything two months.
They fooled us all restoration kit😅damnim hustling this summer with this hack Dollars to make 10 or more each car
That’s bad for your paint so make sure to clean the paint around it after
best way to do is get clear coat k2 wash headlight first dry get clear coat k2 spray three time let it dry get scratch remover put it on light polish like fuck they will come out like new
It should be illegal to sell something that old 😂
Woow next time al try it..
Why is this video so underrated ?!
What happen if Foggy from inside
Use Hair Dryer brother 😊
@@Lofiguitarvibes I'll dry it thanks
I did this with toothpaste 🎉
Yes sir it works great on faded headlight..
It’s tooth paste works better
Easy off works wonders
Sand compound
Didn’t work for me. They looked brand new for about an hour. Went back to check and they were hazy again. I cleaned them with water thinking the baking soda was still on them, but they looked the same.
You don't need fruit with baking soda. Use a sponge and dish soap. Your headlights have years of dirt stuck to it. Clean and polish, simple
Awesome Video! 👍👍👍👍👍
Just tried, not work.
Orange you glad I didnt say lemon
Just wanted to warn you guys that this does not work for eyes.😢
Didn't work
Really? I was gonna try it
@@bridgettecampbell9475 yeah your better getting new headlights actually because if you " fix them " this way they are more prone to yellowing and oxidation anyways, and protect them with a wax or similiar product

Th
is this guy making a headlight juice😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
LOL!!! DEAD!!!!
I tried it it didn't work I scrubbed for longer than 5 min. Yall are full of crap. It looks good till they dried then the fog came back
What happens a couple of days after??
At that point it’s the next persons problem lol he said he was selling it
@@AWBelite1 oh man!!! 😂🤣
This will last for a few days. You need to sand, use compound, and polish to get it super clear
After a couple of days it turns into a dragon
@@AichTresa 🔥🐉
Looks same
I rubbed a lemon all over my face and eyeballs and got a girlfriend ,but unfortunately she has achne and buck teeth and is a little over weight. ...I will squirt a lemon in her eyes
And then run .. don’t stop running 😅😂
@@gavinwatson3896 Noo ,I was joking, but in life acknowledgment and help is always worth more than running and that's facts.
Wow you actually tried to clean your headlights?
HACK wash your car in general uuugh
