If you live in a place where there is constant salt buildup on the roads because of snow, this can be very damaging for your car’s bodywork in the long run. And by damaging we mean it’ll slowly melt away your car from underneath, so this is something you should stay on top of.
To avoid this, next time it snows, mix water and vinegar in a spray bottle and spray the bottom part of your car with it. It’ll melt the salt right off.
DIY Wiper Blade Cleaning Solution
When cleaning your windshield, you might prefer a highly effective homemade windshield wiper blade cleaning solution.
Instead of spending on a new solution, all you need to do is mix ammonia and cold water with a ratio of .21:1. No need for that extra trip to the car shop.
Stop Those Leaks
In order to stop a leak that starts in the engine bay, just simply use a wad of gum or a half-chewed mint to block it out until you have the time to bring it to the repair shop.
This would be the perfect short-term solution to the problem.
Use Slime or Goo
If you were born in the 80s or 90s, you probably remember what a goo ball or slime was. That weird slimy, sticky substance that became an insanely popular kids’ toy back in the day. You could mold it, bounce it, squish it, throw it at your friends, drive your parents nuts by sticking it all over the house, and basically anything else you could think of. The bad part was, that if you got it dirty, even if it was one speck of dust, you knew your slime was doomed – it would never be clean again. But this makes it perfect as a car cleaner.
Go to the nearest kid toy store and get a ball of goo, then dab it all over your car and collect every last particle of dirt or dust. You can also make your own slime, just google “DIY cleaning slime” and chose any tutorial.
Use an Old Toothbrush
With the simple use of a toothbrush dipped in some soapy water, you can effectively scrub away any dirt and dust on vinyl upholstery.
We recommend you do this before the gunk gets caked in the cracks of your seats. This should save you the time of repeatedly scraping them out.
