Car Care On A Budget – Great Tips
Sunday, 12. October 2008
Avis Valet Services have been giving out some great tips for motorists looking to take better care of their car without spending a fortune. The suggest the following:
- Mayonnaise can be good at removing road tar stuck to tyres and paintwork.
- Try using cooking oil on tyres and paintwork to remove black marks left by stubborn brake dust on wheel arches. It’s also great for removing bird droppings or splattered bugs on your windscreen.
- Baking soda is excellent for lifting any kind of stain or mark, just dab the interior and leave for 20 mins before rinsing off. Leaves a fresh smell as well.
- Use white vinegar on windscreens for crystal clear visibility as vinegar stops dust and smells collecting on the glass.
- Wrap an ice cube in a cloth or pop some in a freezer bag and hold over chewing gum stuck to car seats or carpet. The gum will eventually snap off leaving no sticky residue.
- Linseed oil – this can be used to clean leather upholstery in you car as it cleans and softens at the same time.
- Sticky tape – use this to remove any hidden dust particles from seat fabric. The tape lifts the dust whereas a brush would simply push it in deeper.
So there you have it some interesting advice from Avis so blame them and not me if anything goes wrong. By Graham Hill
