That hack about using toothpaste to clean headlights? Tried it on my Corolla last weekend

Wasted a whole tube of Crest and 45 minutes scrubbing and they still looked foggy. Went and got a $6 kit from AutoZone instead and it actually worked in 10 minutes. Anyone else fall for that Pinterest tip or was it just me?

Seems like an awful lot of fuss over some foggy lights if you ask me.

Honestly I used to swear by the toothpaste trick, thought I was being smart and saving money. But my old Civic had headlights so bad you could barely see at night, and two tubes of Colgate later they looked exactly the same. The AutoZone kit with the sandpaper and sealant cost me like eight bucks and took maybe 15 minutes, difference was night and day. I still feel ripped off that I spent so long scrubbing with minty paste when I could have just done it right the first time. That Pinterest stuff works for some things but headlights are definitely not one of them in my experience.
