Keep Your Car Headlights Shining Bright This December! 🚗✨
We’ve got a nifty tip straight from the experts to help you keep those headlights sparkling clean during the dim December days! The RAC has shared a fantastic, easy trick using nothing more than good old toothpaste. Yes, you read that right! 🪥
Ever noticed your headlights looking a bit dull and grimy? It happens to the best of us, especially during winter when clear headlights are a must. Instead of splashing out on a replacement, the RAC recommends gently buffing your headlight lenses with toothpaste. Thanks to its mild abrasiveness, toothpaste can erase those annoying scrapes and smudges, bringing back their brightness.
Here’s the scoop:
1. Grab the gritty kind of toothpaste, preferably with baking soda.
2. Use a toothbrush to scrub your headlights until the toothpaste gets dirty or starts to discolour.
3. Let it dry a bit, then thoroughly rinse it off with a warm, damp cloth.
Not feeling confident in your DIY abilities? No worries! You can always pop into a garage for a professional touch-up. Costs will vary depending on what’s needed, whether it’s a simple cleanse, bulb change, or a complete unit overhaul.
And while we’re on the subject of headlights, a quick reminder on fog lights: Only use them when visibility drops below 100 metres (about a football pitch length). Misuse can result in a hefty £1,000 fine and three points on your licence!
