Using Hot Water And A Plunger To Fix A Dent.
Has the side of your car received a dent or ding? Never let anything worry you. Everything is taken care of by us! Contrary to popular misconception, dents are rather straightforward to fix once they have happened. Bring some water to a boil in a teapot or saucepan and place it on the heat. Pull the plunger after pouring the boiling water over the dent. If the car hasn't been severely damaged, the dent should typically just pop out of the body; it won't look as good as it did before, but it will be less obvious.
Toothpaste And Dirty Headlights.
If your headlights are fogged, you shouldn't run to the closest auto parts store in search of a specific fix. There's a chance that you already have a fix for your issue at home. It has been revealed that toothpaste works just as well on headlights as it does on teeth because to the presence of mild abrasives in toothpaste that clean enamel.

In The Trunk, Place A sShower Caddy.
You almost probably have oil, a funnel, a rag, a flashlight, and other emergency auto supplies hidden away in the trunk of your car if you're the sort who likes to plan ahead.

Pool Noodles Can Be Used To Prevent Car Dings.
Do you have a tendency to slam the garage door against the side of the building when you exit your garage?

You can feel confident knowing that your automobile and the wall are both secured, whether you use bolts or easy command strips.

Reduce Frost By Positioning Your Car To Face East.
Despite the fact that it could seem like some strange witchcraft trick, it is actually pretty straightforward and rational.

You won't ever need to wait for the defroster to warm up again if you leave for work as soon as the sun rises!

Long Drive With A Soiled Child? MagnaDoodle Has Your Back.
Young children are untidy and often bored, which are two obvious worries when taking a long vehicle ride. Fortunately, both of these problems may be solved with the help of a MagnaDoodle from your toy collection. They are among the most engaging toys since kids may sketch and redraw endlessly without running out of (or dropping) supplies. You might not know it, but they can also be used as a tray table for kids to eat meals without crumbs and spills all over the place.
Coke Will Clean Your Wheels.
You've probably heard the advice "use Coke to clean this" a million times, but rims can be cleaned of brake dust and road filth with cola and dish detergent, leaving them dazzling. Despite some people's concerns, the detergent doesn't increase stickiness like baking soda would.
Pantyhose Can Be Used As A Fan Belt.
Start by using any alternative choices you may have in the event of a damaged fan belt, such as calling for a tow. Risking setting your engine on fire in order to save money is not worthwhile. If you're really stuck, you can use a pair of pantyhose as a fan belt to get to a petrol station or an area with mobile coverage.
Apply Nail Polish To Minor Scratches.
It usually isn't worth the money to have your car's paint professionally fixed if there is only a small scratch or chip in it. Of course, the disadvantage is that your car will have unattractive scratches on it as you drive around. We're willing to wager that you had no idea it was feasible. It only takes a tiny bit of nail polish to achieve the look. A little nail polish will easily disguise the scratches so that no one will notice them unless they are looking for them if you can properly match the paint of your car.
Keyhole De-Icing Using Hand Sanitizers.
Anyone who has dealt with frozen car door locks knows how difficult it is to get them to thaw. The answer—which you might not have guessed—is hand sanitizer.

The same way it dissolves on your hands, it will also disintegrate on your car.
In Hot Weather, Keep Your Seats Buckled.
Trying to fasten your seatbelt in the summer is a risky game. You can at least avoid the seatbelt issue by fastening it after exiting and leaving it there until the next time you enter by avoiding any metal parts of your automobile that have been exposed to heat and sunshine. If the sun can't get to it, it can't get hot enough to burn!
Glass Chips? Clear Nail Polish Might Be Useful.
Once more, nail polish has captured our attention! Driving becomes risky if your windscreen has a crack or chip because it will almost certainly widen and crack even more. If you don't have the money to replace your windscreen right away, you can stop the crack from getting worse by running a few drops of transparent nail polish into a pair of pantyhose.
Rubber Bands Work Well As Phone Holders.
It is rather inconvenient to need to check your GPS but not have a co-pilot to hold it up for you or one of those window or air vent holders to hold your phone (and potentially dangerous). The similar result may be achieved relatively easily using a rubber band. If you wrap it over the top and bottom of your phone and a couple vents on your centre console, the tension will hold it in place.
