A car cleaning influencer has revealed the best way for motorists to make their car\u2019s headlamps clearer. Christina Nomura regularly posts short tutorials and hacks on a variety of subjects on her TikTok page.<\/p>\n
Her latest video shows a short tutorial on how to remove fog from car headlamp covers using two household items. In the video, she cuts a lemon in half and coats it with baking soda before rubbing it into the headlamp cover.<\/p>\n
Shortly afterward, viewers see that the once cloudy headlamp of Christina\u2019s white sedan now looked incredibly clean.<\/p>\n
Most cars made since the 1990s suffer from cloudy or foggy headlamps when UV rays degrade the thick plastic they are made from.<\/p>\n
Foggy headlamps can make the car look worse and, in extreme cases, reduce the effectiveness of the headlamps, increasing the risk of accidents when driving at night.<\/p>\n

Many motorists have thanked Christina for her video, which has already received almost 400,000 views and over 9,500 likes. One viewer commented: \u201cThe lemon worked better, you can see the grime coming off around the headlight. Good job!!\u201d<\/p>\n
Another said: \u201cI did it and it worked. Someone from the Auto Store suggested.\u201d<\/p>\n
As a result, it is drivers of vehicles with cloudy headlamps should fix the issue, either using the trick or with a car cleansing kit available at auto repair shops.<\/p>\n

Bridgestone Tires also recommended that drivers who try this tip should always clean the headlamps first and apply liberal amounts of baking soda that has been mixed with some water.<\/p>\n
The company also suggests that motorists should leave the paste on the headlamp covers for a few minutes to try, before removing it with a cloth.<\/p>\n
However, they also advised drivers that, like many cleansers, the substance is abrasive and therefore care must be taken not to damage the plastic.<\/p>\n
