Frequently Asked Questions
Should I use a specific toothpaste to clean my car headlights?
No, you can use any white toothpaste. However, avoid gel toothpastes or those containing freshness pearls, as they do not have the same abrasive properties as classic white toothpaste.
How often should I clean my headlights?
It depends on the condition of your headlights. If you notice that they are becoming dull, a deep cleaning may be necessary. However, regular maintenance, for example every six months, will allow your headlights to stay bright longer.
