  • Question
    Is it necessary to clean an interior of a headlight or is just cleaning the exterior enough?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    99 percent of the discoloration of most headlights is on the outer surface unless your headlights are fogging up or have ever filled with water, so exterior cleaning should be enough.

    What is the easiest/most efficient way to remove oxidation from my vehicle?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    You can use bug spray with around 25% DEET. DEET is the quickest and most efficient way to clean oxidation from headlights, as it will melt the headlight plastic and its oxidation. Bug spray with DEET will clean your hazy, oxidated headlights when really needed, and it will keep them clean around a week.

  • Question
    Which type of wax or sealant is recommended to use after oxidation removal?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Chapstick buffed in works well - Burt's beeswax preferably. Buff it in swirls afterwards to fill what little scratches the sandpaper didn't get out.
