Does toothpaste really work to clean headlights? Let's just see!

What happens here

Apply a 'fat inch' (approximately 1-2 inches) of Crest Baking Soda & Peroxide Whitening Toothpaste onto a clean section of a microfiber shop towel. Rub the toothpaste onto the headlight lens using various motions, similar to applying the rubbing compound. The abrasive nature of the toothpaste is intended to remove the oxidation. After rubbing for several minutes, use a glass cleaner and a clean towel to thoroughly wipe off all toothpaste residue from the headlight and surrounding areas.

Goal: Attempt to clear oxidation from headlights using toothpaste
