I believe you guys all drive very well, but some annoying problems have nothing to do with your driving skills, such as foggy headlights, frosting mirrors, or an unsightly dent. Check out these 21 genius tips, and you will be free from all the problems in no time.<\/p>\n

1. Cool Down Your Hot Car Quickly<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Have you ever entered a car in the hot summer, and the air inside was so desperately stifling that you couldn’t even breathe? Simply roll down the passenger side window, and open and close the driver’s side door quickly and repeatedly. The door can work as a fan to let the stale air out and fresh air in.<\/p>\n

2. Fix A Dent With A Plunger And Hot Water<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Have any minor accidents left a dent in your car? Don’t worry. You can fix it by yourself quickly. Pour the hot water over the dented area, and then cover it with the plunger and pull! A slight dent will come out soon enough, and even a deep one can become less noticeable.<\/p>\n

3. Always Buckle Your Belt In Hot Weather<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Leaving your belt unbuckled will expose it to the burning sunlight in the summer. Then the metal piece can become so hot that it will hurt anyone that touches it. You can prevent the problem by simply buckling your seatbelt after getting out of the car.<\/p>\n

4. Clean Headlights With Toothpaste<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You may find your headlights become foggy over time, but you don’t have to rush to an auto store for help. Just scrub the lights with toothpaste and a little elbow grease, and they will shine like crystal again! That’s because the mild abrasives in toothpaste can easily clean off the enamel.<\/p>\n

5. Always Check Your Tires Before Driving<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It’s important to check your tires before driving since you may prevent a car theft from happening. Some car thieves would put an empty water bottle on one of the tires on the passenger side, which you won’t notice until the car moves. As you get off and check for the weird sound, they might drive off with the car or grab some personal items and run.<\/p>\n

6. Use A Rubber Band As A Phone Holder<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Have you ever wanted to look at Google Maps but realized that you didn’t have a phone holder? Don’t worry. A rubber band can work like one, too. Just loop it through several vents in your center console and around the top and bottom of your phone. It’s done! A binder clip can make your DIY gadget even stronger.<\/p>\n

7. Put A Ziplock Bag Over The Mirrors<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Cold days can frost up your mirrors, but ziplock bags can rescue you from a helpless situation. BobVilla.com revealed, “Open up a few ziplock bags and slip them over your mirrors. The plastic covering will keep most of the ice and snow from sticking, making those frigid mornings way less frustrating.”<\/p>\n

8. Use A Tinted Plastic Sheet To Reduce Glare<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We all know the feeling: when the sun is setting, and you’re driving west, but you don’t have your sunglasses on hand! The tricky sun glares in your face from a place where the visor can’t cover. A tinted, plastic sheet can stick to your car window with static, thus making up for the blind spot.<\/p>\n

9. Use Coke To Clean Your Wheels<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You have probably heard of nearly a million functions of Coke, but do you know it can also get the road grime and brake dust off your rims quickly. But this time, you can add a bit of dish detergent to it, and it can prevent the sticky buildup from occurring on your wheels.<\/p>\n

10. Spray Vinegar On The Windshield<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Have you ever got tired of cleaning the ice on your windshield every winter morning? Well, you can make your own deicing spray with a solution containing three parts vinegar and one part water. Spray the mixture evenly on your car window, and the acid in it can prevent it from freezing.<\/p>\n

11. Apply Clear Nail Polish On Window Chips<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A few drops of nail polish can save you much more money than you expect. If your windshield happens to have a crack or a chip, it’s possible to crack the glass further, making your everyday driving dangerous. If you don’t want to replace it right away, apply multiple drops of clear nail polish in the crack instead to prevent it from spreading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
