Headlight cleaning: Why is it so important?
Seeing well and being seen well is crucial when driving a vehicle, especially at night and in bad weather conditions. The poor condition of the headlights can be the reason
why the vehicle does not pass the MOT. In short, clean and clear headlights are the alpha and omega of smooth and safe driving.
How to clean headlights? Be sure
to regularly wash the front and rear lights in a
manual car wash or at least when you refuel at a gas station and wash the windows.
How to clean and polish headlights at home
You can also clean and polish the headlights yourself at home. Rinse off the coarsest dirt with clean water or a soft sponge dipped in water - you will rid the headlights of dust, insects and dirt. Then you can use a ph-neutral car shampoo - always follow the manufacturer's instructions. At the end, rinse again with clean water, dry and polish with a microfibre cloth.

Renovation of headlights - when it is appropriate to grind headlights
Sometimes the front and rear lights are already so worn that their luminosity drops significantly. That's when it should come down to grinding the headlights using grinding wheels of different grits. Coarse grinding wheels remove the oxidized layer, finer ones are used for fine final grinding and polishing.
When sanding headlights, it is advisable to use sanding and polishing pastes - always follow the instructions. Don't forget to cover all areas around the headlights with masking tape, which you should definitely not skimp on. The tape protects the body paint around the headlights to prevent damage during sanding.
