6.Boost Your Car Remote Range
Trying to unlock or lock your car from quite some distance ?.According to experts you can improve the signal by holding the remote close to your head.It works because of the fluids in your head,even though they are poor conductors,they still help boost signal .

Hydraulic will wash off the car default paint faster. Instead use thinner(that colourless liquid that sprayers mix with the paint to spray ur car), thereafter pour water on the affected surface. You will be glad u did.
Thank you!

Have you tried number 8? It works very well. I have been using it for over three years now.


To cool it faster, wind down the two windows on one side of the car, while you open and close the two doors on the other side
