I know that our Celica's headlight don't yellow but I've got a Corolla that did. I bought a cleaner kit made just for this problem which cost $10 but it didn't work . I ended up getting them clean with toothpaste. The plain white Crest tooth paste seems to work best. All you do is put some on a paper towel and buff the headlight with it then wipe it off with a clean towel or paper towel. They look like new headlights. Hope this helps someone else on here.

I usually start at 400 grit, then 600, 800, 1000, 1500, 2000, medium cut buffing compound, rubbing compund, polishing compund then wax.
Basically your lowest grit needs to be used the most, because its removing the layar of crap. All the rest of it is just trying to fix the scratches you made with sandpaper. |
