Headlight Comparison

The headlight on the right in the photo above was cleaned first and this picture was taken before I used New Lite on the other side. Both headlights were eqully cloudy before I began. It might not be obvious in this photo, but the treated headlamp is much clearer than the untreated lamp.

The entire process took only minutes to complete and I only went through the steps once. The manufacturer says you can complete the steps multiple times for even better results.

For severely damaged headlights the company suggests you wet-sand the plastic with an ultra-fine sandpaper, then repeat steps two and three.

I sold the truck to a friend right after using New Lite, so we'll try it again to find out if we can restore the headlamps to an even better condition.

Oh, by the way, I'm not affiiated with MD Wholesale in any way. I found them by searching the Internet for a solution to cloudy headlamps.
