What's the most abrasive toothpaste?
Was thinking of trying it for a headlight restoration. I know there are set ad things out there but what is the most abrasive toothpaste, and will it work?

I have an 04 cavalier. The headlights are sh¡t. I tried turtle waxes headlight restorer kit, didn't work. I also tried wipe new, didn't work on my headlights but its freaking awesome for plastics.
If you find something that works post it up, maybe I'll try it. |

Helluva question but I googled and found this:
http://www.levysmiles.com/docs/Abras..._Toothpase.pdf http://www.midtowndentalnyc.com/abra...n-toothpastes/ Colgate Tarter Control and Colgate 2-in-1 Tarter Control/White were listed as most abrasive; Have no idea about effectiveness on plastic |

I really hope this works because I have one yellow headlight on our family truckster - the Honda CR-V. I've tried machine polishing it and it just laughed at me.

Well I've seen that a really good sand paper for wet sanding like 2,500 grit wet sanding works and then polish. And get this, apply SPF 50 onto the headlight!

You could probably try a mixture of baking soda and water too.
