Toothpaste will work, but Mosquito dope works better.

As mentioned......rebuffing/polishing will only last so long...

New aftermarkets depending on your vehicle may be best choice

For example..my new to me '03 Lexus LX 470...

18 yrs in the Arizona sun.......I opted for new E Bay aftermarkets....$200 shipped

Nice & clean & bright

The backup cam on my 2011 F150 is hazy, wonder if any of this stuff would work on the lens cover?

I used the 3M headlight restoration kit, about $12 at Amazon, and was surprised how well it worked. One lens turned out better because I buffed it longer with the most coarse grit pad. I didn't polish the lens with less haze as long with the most coarse pad used in the first step, which was a mistake. I'd use the 3M kit again. I would suggest using a corded drill or you'll spend a bit of time probably charging batteries.

I've tried the kits available, they work okay but wet sanding with progressively finer wet or dry sandpaper worked better for me. Replacements were very expensive even considering aftermarkets, which incidentally mostly come from China.

I used the 3M kit also. Worked very well. Have two more vehicles that need it now. Appreciate the Amazon tip. Bought mine thru the local NAPA. Paid about twice the price.

Headlamps are a wear item. Especially with no car payment, periodic maintenance should be well within your budget. I admire my new HLs every time I view them, and appreciate them on the road at nite.

AutoSol chrome cleaner. I know BS, but it works.. It will even take the scratches out of a plastic watch crystal. Go slow with a soft cloth.

Deep Wood is excellent. You can use any skeeter repellent, just make sure it has deet.

Depending on what vehicle you own, it might be better to order some aftermarket lights. I got some new ones complete with new bulbs for my 2001 Tundra and they were only about 80 bucks shipped. Some are cheaper, but I opted for ones with good ratings that were mid range.

My 2003 Dodge Ram 3500 got new headlights after messing with the kits and all of the aformentioned snake oils. Never could get them to come out so just replaced them with new, less than $100 and a few minutes labor.

I tried DEET bug spray this morning, it took some surface tarnish off, but far from clear.
