How To Clean Cloudy Headlights

Your headlights can sometimes appear cloudy or dim because the casing surrounding them is discoloured or grimy. Thanks to wear and tear over time, the protective coating covering your casings can become scratched, covered in dirt and road debris, or damaged by water vapour.

To restore your headlights, you’ll need a mildly abrasive cleaner and a microfibre cloth to gently remove the layer of grime or damage. Find out more about cleaning your headlights.
