Is there a good way of cleaning the headlights?
My headlights aren't shiny at all. It's like dull now...
The reason is because I was leasing the car and didn't care too much but now I bought it and need to take better care.

I want it to shine again! wink

Luckily I think mines on the outside. I've driven a lot and I have 75000 miles already. Bugs, shit, and who knows whatelse is overlapped one another.

I just got polish for the headlights. Hope it works.

What happens if I micro scrub it? then put polish?

hahahah... that's my car back in the day. Holy cow.

Anyways, you would need turtle wax if your headlights are very dirty and full of water spots. Normally, after each car wash, I just use the plastic polish.

Well my headlights haven't been cleaned since I've bought the car. And it's been 3 years... frown
But most of the yellow stuff I got today.
It's those bug marks that I can't get rid of right now.
I hate those florida love bugs...

You think it'll go away if I polish it regularly?
