Cheap tricks abound online when it comes to repairing household products, and one such cheap trick that has been popular is the use of toothpaste to repair cloudy headlights. Using the product entails applying toothpaste to the lens of the headlight, then buffing it out to restore the headlight's original clarity in just a few minutes.
While it is easy to see how the use of such a trick is enticing since the product needed for the repair work is already available and cheap, the more important matter lies in its effect on the performance of the headlight and, therefore, the driver's ability to drive at night.
