Cleaned the polycarbonate headlamps on my Jimny today. Only spent 5 minutes on each and got rid of the yellow tarnish. Haven't done a perfect job cos my visitors were whinging about abandoning them. Mind ya, they hadn't rung before they lobbed and I had planned to do this job.
I used about a half inch of toothpaste on each headlamp. Washed the lamps first with soapy water then spread the paste and rubbed for a couple of minutes, varying the direction of rubbing, sideways then up and down then diagonally. After a couple of minutes each I then wet the rag and wash for another minute then cleaned up with clean water. Very happy with the job, 11 years of yellowing has gone and I can't stare into the lights anymore so they are putting out plenty of light.
