We’ve all been victim of a cracked windshield, whether from a flying pebble or falling debris. Replacing a windshield is very expensive, and driving with a crack is dangerous, as it can keep growing bigger and bigger. If you do have a relatively small-to-medium crack in your windshield, you can use clear nail polish to seal it. This will protect both you from the elements, and your windshield from cracking even further.
Did you know that you can wash your car and wax it at the same time? All you need is a cup of kerosene in a bucket full of water. Using a sponge, wash you car as you normally would on all surfaces. Not only will this get your car nice and clean, but it will also leave a waxy coat on its surface, which will have all water, dirt, and oils beading up and falling off, instead of sticking to your exterior. Talk about a nice two-in one deal.
When it comes to absorbing spills, diapers arguably take the gold. So why not use them for more than just babies? If you have upholstery seats, any spill will soak in immediately, and can be super hard to clean. Next time, be prepared with a diaper or two in the glove compartment. If you do happen to spill your coffee on the seat, quickly grab a diaper and put the absorbent side right on top of the liquid. It will be soaked up in a matter of moments.
If there’s a leak in your fuel tank, it could be costing you a lot of money in wasted gas that seeps out through the cracks. But it’s also quite expensive to go and have a mechanic fix the problem. Instead of replacing your entire tank, you can just chew up some gum, and stick it onto the crack. Problem solved (at least for a little while).
We know we know, this trick will not be for everybody, but it does work. If your car doesn’t come with a cup holder, or not enough cup holders, a sneaker will work as a great replacement. The bottom of the shoe will provide tread, so it won’t slip. Most standard sized drinks will fit right where your foots supposed to go.
