Stop windows steaming up with a little washing up liquid rubbed over them or half a potato! Make sure you wipe them down well afterwards and don't get any on the paint work.
Spray glass cleaner on the cloth not the glass it saves using too much and it won't get on the paintwork to damage it.
For a quick and easy way to clean your car, watch for the rain and then go out and rub in some car shampoo let it rain and then once it stops go out and leather it off. You save water and time.
Use lemonade on chrome wheels as it makes them come up a treat.
Inside the car damp down the upholstery to remove fluff and dust, then use rubber gloves to collect any hairs. Do this often and you will be able to away with hoovering less.
Smelly car? Use a cleaner that has bactericide in it as it is the bacteria that smells.
At the garage always make sure you ask about any extra charges that are not explained. If the garage says you need a new part then ask for the old part back in the box supplied for the new part. They then have to use NEW parts and they actually have to do the work.
If they say they need to change the oil then ask what oil they need and go and buy your own. It means you get to see the price and not pay huge mark ups.
Need to do an emergency repair on a bolt but the spanner is slightly too big? Use a coin to fill the gap. If the bolt is rusty then pour some cola on it and let it dry, it should make it easier to move.
Rear light smashed but the bulb is ok? then use a bit of red plastic (carrier bag ) to cover it until you can get to a garage and if your indicator light goes then use the one from your fog light until you can buy a new one.
Lastly if you get stuck in the mud use your rubber mats from the seat wells under the wheels to help get some purchase. Rock the car slightly and drive it back and forward a tiny bit before trying to get out.
Enjoy!
