How to use a headlight cleaner
Most headlight cleaners are simple to use and work the same way, but make sure you go over the instructions first. To get started, apply the headlight restorer to a cloth or applicator pad. If you have a buffer then that will work as well. Then wipe it onto your headlight and rinse it off then dry it with a clean paper towel or cotton cloth.
What are the disadvantages of using a headlight cleaner?
As great as headlight cleaners may be, they still have a few drawbacks to them. Always make sure the product you choose has restoration and sealant properties, as just cleaning headlights removes the protective clear coat they come with. If they lose this headlight coating, they will be even more susceptible to hazing and yellowing than before. It’s also important to note that this is just a temporary solution that won’t last forever so it will need to be reapplied from time to time. If you aren’t seeing the results you want you may need to use a complete headlight restoration kit along with some tools to clear your headlights. If that’s still not enough, then you may have to consider replacing the headlight.
Can headlight cleaner be used for taillights?
Yes, headlight cleaners can be used on headlights, taillights and brake lights. They are formulated to clean most plastic and plexiglass surfaces.
