If you’re not a smoker, you could always use those car ashtrays as a phone dock to avoid having them roll around the car while driving.
This should help you when you need to navigate as well.
De-Ice Stuck Doors and Locks With Hand Sanitizer
If you’re having some ice troubles during the winter, you can actually use some hand sanitizer. The high alcohol content should be able to quickly melt the ice from stuck locks and doors.
It’s recommended that you use the gel solution over liquid alcohol. This is a great little hack in preparing for the winter season.
Use a Clean Diaper to Soak Up Spills
Since diapers have the purpose of being super absorbent, you can actually use them to soak up a spill before it stains your upholstery.
If you don’t have a baby, just ask your friends or family if they have some extra ones to share, even if it sounds a bit ridiculous.
Stop Leaks With a Mint
In order to stop a leak that starts in the engine bay, just simply use a wad of gum or a half-chewed mint to block it out until you have the time to bring it to the repair shop.
This would be the perfect short-term solution to the problem.
Apply Coca-Cola to Rust Stains
Though we all would rather consume a refreshing drink of Coca-Cola, you could also use it to break down any rust stains. All you need to do is apply the soda to a cloth and rub around the stains in a circular motion.
Don’t use this trick on paint, though! You’re better off with a paint remover for that.
