1.
Old sticker on your windshield? You can use a newspaper page and warm water pressed against the sticker. The water from the newspaper will be absorbed by the sticker and release the glue in about 10 minutes.
2.
Use non-stick spray on your door’s weatherstripping to keep it from freezing
3.
Spraying cooking oil can also prevent the accumulation of bugs on your bumper.
4.
5.
You can prevent fog on your car windows for up to 3 weeks by coating them with shaving cream and then wiping the foam away.
6.
Have to park outside but hate cleaning up after birds? Place a toy snake nearby to ward them off.
7.
If your engine starts to overheat, continuing to drive for just two minutes can completely ruin your engine.
8.
I’m not telling you to speed up, but the 55 mph national speed limit was created to address the energy crisis in the early 1970’s – not safety.
9.
Use that built-in weatherproof toolbox as a cooler for the coming summer.
10.
An open container of kitty litter can not only absorb weird smells, but also stop your windows from fogging up overnight.
11.
If you haven’t tried brightening up your headlights yet with toothpaste, its a cheap way to drive safer.
12.
If you travel with hand sanitizer, the alcohol in it quickly loosens up frozen keyholes and door handles.
