Alternative Maintenance Tips for BC Drivers: Part Four

The quickest way to age a vehicle is to let the headlight casing get dingy. That yellow hue puts 20 years on a car, easily. Caused by sun exposure, this issue can be prevented with the right maintenance.

It may sound strange, but good old fashion toothpaste with a toothbrush will go a long way. Put some paste on a cloth or towel and rub it all over the plastic light housing units. Follow that up with a toothbrush scrubbing. You can then rinse it off, and you will notice how clean and shiny it is.

This cleaning combo isn’t just good for the exterior of the vehicle either. You can also use these products to make the inside look a lot better. It serves as a polish to leave your cabin shining as if it were new again. Keep in mind that professional products are available for these specific purposes. However, these tips are for people who want to save a bit of money.

If your headlight casings are beyond a bit of elbow grease, then you may need to replace them. Luckily, you can find the correct pieces at Ford Parts BC. Swapping your old ones out will shave years off of your vehicle, and it will make you feel better about driving it!
