1. Use Toothpaste To Clean Dirty Headlights

Have you got some foggy headlights? Maybe you have something in your bathroom you can use. It’s toothpaste! It works well on teeth because it has mild abrasives that can clean enamel. Your headlight will be clear again, just don’t mind a bit of toothpaste and elbow grease. But If it’s yellowing you might wanna think about replacing it.

2. Use Hot Water & A Plunge For Minor Dents

Are you mad at having dents on your car? This can solve your problem. You know, dents are pretty common and everyone gets it from time to time. But it’s pretty easy to fix. Here’s what you need to do: Boil water and pour it over the dent. After that, take a plunger and pull it. Remember, this won’t work if your car is heavily damaged. But for small ones, this will make the dents pop right out! Maybe not as perfect as before, but it’s much less noticeable.

3. Use Nail Polish To Prevent Your Windshield From Cracking Further

If you have a crack or chip in your windshield, it will almost certainly spread and crack further, making driving unsafe. If you can’t afford a new windshield, a few drops of clear nail paint in the afflicted region, should keep the crack from spreading until you can change the windshield.

4. Clean Your Wheels With Coke and Detergent

A cola and dish detergent mix can remove all of the road filth and brake dust from your rims and leave them sparkling. Some people worry that the soda will merely make things stickier, but the detergent you use prevents accumulation.

5. Lessen Windshield Fog By Parking Your Car Facing East

This may look to be some weird trick, but it’s fairly easy and sensible. When you park your car facing the east, the rising sun’s rays will initially defrost your front windshield. If you leave for work when the sun rises, you’ll never have to wait for the defroster to clear up your windshield again!

6. Easy Way To Cool Down A Hot Car

Have you ever had to stand outside in the hot afternoon sun to air out your suffocatingly hot car just enough to BREATHE when you get inside? To expedite the process, roll down the passenger side window and open and close the driver’s side door fast for a few seconds. This provides a fanning action, allowing fresh air to enter while eliminating all of the hot, stagnant air from your vehicle.

7. Extend Your Key’s Remote Range By Holding Them To Your Head

Yes, it works! We know how ridiculous this might sound. If your keys have limited range, position them under your chin and press the button again; the fluids in your head will somewhat affect the signal’s range. Try it out for yourself if you don’t believe.

8. Gauge Your Garage Parking With A Tennis Ball

Having difficulties finding a parking space in your garage? Simply tie a line to the ceiling of your garage and hang a tennis ball from it. When you’ve driven in far enough, it should rest on your windshield. You’ll never have to make another guess again. Precision at its best!
