Quick, Easy & Cheap Headlight Restoration

by Greg Harrison

Hi all,

Like many older vehicles, our 2004 Bounder named Seven’s headlights are showing their age and are fogged over. We haven’t driven it at night for many years so I didn’t worry about it.

Today I de-winterized since the weather guesser on TV swears up and down no more hard frosts or snow. I was looking at the front end and decided the headlights really needed help.

Over the winter, I saw a guy on YouTube swearing that Mother’s Mag Wheel polish is the best stuff ever for restoring headlights. Nothing to lose except a few $ so I tried it out using a foam wheel on a drill running fairly slowly then buffed with a microfiber cloth.

In 30 seconds my lights looked like new! I am amazed. No idea how long the fix will last but with such little effort needed, I’m happy to do it every year.

I know I promised an update last year but you know how it is. Not surprisingly I guess, the headlights have started to film over again. I will spend another 5 minutes this week and give them another treatment with the Mother’s. If I can find it!
