What About All These Life Hacks Online?
Unfortunately, there is a ton of misinformation posted online about cheap fixes for hazy headlights. Some involve using brake fluids or mechanical lubricants, while others recommend metal rubbing compounds to achieve temporary results.
What these amateur mechanics think that they’ve stumbled onto an inexpensive fix for a common issue, they’re causing more expensive damages in the process. Most of the products that these users rely on are destroying their headlight lenses.
Lubricants and brake fluids can seep in between sections of the plastic, causing a permanently floating drop of oils that remain in your line of vision.
Rubbing compounds, on the other hand, create tiny fissures in your headlamps, which will only continue degrading until they break down completely.
When discussing any attempts of at-home vehicle repairs, it is always best to consult your findings with someone who has a mechanic’s background. Otherwise, your repair technique that only cost a few bucks will lead to hundreds in maintenance fees soon.
