Instructions

    • 1

      Moisten the rag or paper towel with the denatured alcohol, and using some pressure, rub the headlights with it. The headlight may appear to stay foggy as the alcohol is drying, but this is will go away. Keep rubbing until the headlight appears to clear up.

      If the headlights on the car or truck are heavily fogged, you may need to repeat step 1 until they reach the level of clarity you are looking for.

      Optionally, you may apply a thin layer of car wax to the headlight and buff it off to clear away any remaining residue and add some shine and a layer of protection.
