Default Blurry Headlights

Hi guys!

I need you because I have to deal with the scourge of all headlights… BLURRY HEADLIGHTS!

I did not pay attention to my headlights and now they are all dirty, I tried cleaning them with toothpaste and a brush as a friend told me but it failed and I really have to get it done: It would be dangerous to drive without them being spotless… any tips? I am getting really desperate…

Also, if anyone knew how to protect my headlights so it does not happen again, I’d love them to share with me!

I DON'T sand scratches into the plastic that I would have to sand out.
-----------------------------

If headlights are plastic, the last guy may have sprayed them with clear paint.

Some people say that brake fluid will remove the paint.....it removes other types of paint.
--------------------------
Once I get to the clean plastic I use 05973 3m polishing compound...same stuff as for buffing a car.

Keep it wet or it will put scratches in the plastic. You could use a foam buffer in a electric drill.
