These car hacks are clever, easy, and efficient, and they can save you from a tight spot. Watch the video to learn why having kitty litter in your car can be so convenient and how you can use household items like Coke and socks to get your car in tip-top shape.

SUMMARY:
– If you know you need to use your phone’s GPS but don’t have a holder, you can quickly create a makeshift one with items lying around your house.
– Mark the place where your car door usually meets the wall, and then glue or nail the foam noodle to that spot.
– If you want your car to make a good impression, taking care of your headlights is vital. Headlights made from polycarbonate or plastic can get a distinct cloudiness that soap can’t easily remove.
– An easy trick is to fill a sock with cat litter and leave it in your car overnight. The litter will absorb the moisture inside the car, and your windows will be completely clear by morning.
– Fill a spray bottle with 2 parts rubbing alcohol and one part water, and then spray liberally on the windshields.
– Coca-Cola isn’t just one of the world’s most popular sodas. It contains a low amount of phosphoric acid, so it can also be used to remove rust from vehicles.
– Put some water on the plunger and the dent, and place the plunger against the dent. Then pull and push until the dent pops back into place.
– If you get stuck, you can put the cardboard close to the tires, and it will help you get out. If you forget the cardboard, take out the car’s mats, and use them instead.
– To remove the residue, dampen a newspaper, and cover the sticker with it. Leave it on for 15 minutes.
– A lot of people who have to do laundry outside their homes lose a sock at one time or another. Turn the situation into an opportunity by using your remaining sock as a windshield wiper!

So, guys, look at this! 4:16 Do you still like Coca-Cola? 🙂
Nice. Very Very useful. Thanks. Krishna, India ????????
Soap water in wiper water spray tank.
Use a leaf blower to remove light powdery snow. You have to do it soon after it stops snowing, while it's still cold. It's nearly effortless, and gets in all the cracks and crevices. If you forgot to cover your windshield and it's iced over on the outside, you can save time and wipers by filling and closing a ziplock bag with warm water(not boiling), and dragging it down your windows to quickly melt the ice. If your car dies and you need to push it but you're alone, you can stand outside the drivers side door and wrap the seatbelt around your chest to get some leverage. Can anyone explain how to put a tire on a rim using what I guess is some type of flammable liquid in a spray can and igniting the gas cloud, which (again I'm guessing) heats and expands the air and pops the bead over the rim instantly? I've seen videos of it but never got an explanation on how to do it.
Rather misleading title here – nothing to do with Advanced Driving as understood the right side of the pond.
Click bait. Rubber bands and foam noodles don't qualify as advanced driving.
Uh I don't think mechanics repair dents that's a bodyshop
idiotic title to attract more views
Whew. Any of those ideas that actually work and trust me at 66 I've tried them have been around for 30 years. Just reruns on ideas so they're not so bright
For number 5 the fact that I’m drinking coke when that popped up.
Skipped the ice and snow do's as I live in Australia and I've never needed these options
OK , #6 says it is for scraping off the ice yet the info shown for #6 once again shows the pool noodle shown a few tips back – your editing staff needs to wake up .
