Cloudy Headlights.
Headlights are a very important part of the vehicle, as, you know, they allows us to see
objects on the road in foggy or dark conditions.
They're also important for other drivers, as they drastically increase your car's visibility.
So important that, in many countries, its mandatory by law to have your headlights on
during all parts of the day.
Have you ever noticed that your headlights can get pretty cloudy?
While many people think that headlights get cloudy on the inside due to pent up moisture,
they couldn't be more wrong.
Most headlights are made out of plastics, and as such are prone to oxidation, which
leads to a cloudy substance forming on the outside of the plastic.
At a repair shop.
cleaning the oxidization can cost upwards of $20, but there is a very easy and quick
way to clean headlights at home.
All you need is toothpaste, a towel and a bit of arm power to rub your headlight clean.
Simply squeeze the toothpaste out onto the towel and rub it into the headlight for a
good few seconds.
When you wipe of the excess paste, you'll notice that your headlight is now as clean
as the day you bought it.

Key Ring life hack: Most of us have keys, and therefore keychains.
These rings are very important to us, as we usually have our house keys, car keys, usbs,
and cute memorabilia just stuck in a steel ring.
One might even say that they are the key to our lives….i'll stop.
As we know it's quite difficult and hard to put and take out objects from a keychain,
as using our nails usually ends up with an unchanged keychain and a sore finger.
You may have also tried using a knife of some sort, and while that usually does work, it's
kinda dangerous.
Luckily, we have a trick for you!.Just use a staple remover to push apart the rings of
the chain, and once you have it open, pop a coin in there to keep it that way.
Now that it's propped open, you shouldn't have too much difficulty wiggling a key into
there.

Heated Pizza Pizza is a food that many people and families
rely on, while at the same time considered by many others to be a treat and a luxury.
Regardless of which you are, everyone knows that when you pick up a pizza from the store,
by the time you get home the pizza will be all soggy and a tad bit warm, not hot like
most prefer.
Microwaving your pizza helps heat it up of course, but not only is that extra work, your
pizza is now all soggy.
Ready for the hack?
Those of you with the luxury of owning a car with heated seats, put one and two together
and keep the pizza box on the seat with the heater on.
Obvious?
Yes.
Do most of us do it?
No.

No more banging Since a majority of people in the US use their
garage as both extra storage and, well, a garage, most of them don't have enough room
in their garage to completely open the door, but just enough for them to get out.
Unfortunately due to the cramped nature of these garages, this often leads to the doors
of the car being banged against the garage wall as they're opened, thus damaging the
car.
Now we all want to make sure our cars are kept scratch free, but it eventually will
happen, and currently there are only a couple of cars with door protectors.
A simple yet effective way to prevent the contact between the door and the wall is to
screw a half cut pool noodle onto the wall.
And just like that your doors are protected, provided you're good at parking in the exact
same place every day.

Fixing Up Car Scratches: No matter how careful we are, all cars eventually
get scratches.
Depending on the intensity of the scratch, fixing these scratches can cost hundreds of
dollars and a trip to a detailer.
Luckily, not all scratches do the same amount of damage.
Basically, there are two levels of damage, surface, and scoring.
A scoring scratch goes down into the metal, and in this case you are essentially out of
luck as there aren't many home remedies that can patch this up.
However, most scratches are surface level, and only go as deep as the paint.
To fix these, a detailer would sand the scratch, apply primer, paint, and finally a clear coat
to keep everything looking new.
While that will make the scratch look like it never happened, most people can't afford
to take a trip to the detailer for every little mark, so here's what you do.
Rub the scratched area with light grit sandpaper, buff it with a soft rag and some elbow grease,
and then carefully paint over it with a drop of nail polish.
Be careful, as the biggest mistake people use her is too much nail polish, so to be
safe, don't use more than a cotton swab worth at a time.
With enough alternations between buffing and polish, the scratch should be nearly invisible
after a short while.
If you can't find the exact right shade, give in and shell out a extra few dollars for some
car scratch paint from any hardware store.

Re-stick your unstickable electronics Have you guys ever used a suction cup holder/mount
for your electronics, gps, dash cams and phone?
Over time, the suction ability gets weaker and weaker, despite your best efforts, it
just won't stick on the windshield anymore.
Rather than buying an entire new suction cup mount, you could temporarily use a rubber
band to hold your phone or gps on one of your air vents [screenshot from clip 1].
Or, if that looks too cheap, most hardware stores sell velcro tape, which you can apply
to your electronics to help stick your GPS, BackUp Camera, or any other electronics to
your dashboard.

Remove small dents.
Dents can be costly to fix, and having them in the first place drastically changes how
people view your car.
Thankfully for us there are 2 very simple methods to fix those dents, provided they're
relatively small and not too deep.
First way is to use dry ice, which you can order online for around $2 per pound.
Park your car somewhere where the sun can reach the dent, and leave it for a few hours
to warm up.
Then, with gloves, apply the dry ice.
If all goes according to plan, the rapid chilling of the metal will pop the dent without scratching
the paint.
The Second way involves an air duster and a hairdryer, which hopefully you already have
at home.
This is a slightly different process, but is still very quick, cheap and easy to do.
Heat up the dent with your heat gun or hairdryer, and then spray the dent immediately with compressed
air for at around 20 seconds.
Fingers crossed, within that time you will hear a loud pop as dent disappears.

De-Ice a Lock With Hand Sanitizer People who live in a cold climate, have probably
had their door's lock jam due to the cold.
This is caused by moisture build up in the crevices of the lock, which has then frozen.
You could get a bucket of hot water to heat up the lock, but as always there is an easier
way.
Just apply a couple drops of hand sanitizer to your keys, wiggle it in the lock, and soon
it should be able to move freely.
This works because the rubbing alcohol in the sanitizer has a lower freezing point than
water, and as it comes into contact with the ice, it proceeds to melt it just enough to
allow the key to turn..
Who knew a bottle of hand sanitizer could be used for non germ related problems.
2.
Which Side?
When in a hurry, we sometimes have a brain fart which unfortunately leads us to very
embarrassing situations.
When pulling into a gas station, some of us have made the laughable mistake of forgetting
which side of the car the fuel door is on, as, although it is usually on the drivers
side, there are more than a few makes of cars where it is on the passenger side.
Thankfully manufacturers thought about this very situation.
Simply look at your gas gauge and there should be an arrow underneath the gas icon.
The Arrow will be pointing left or right indicating which side the gas cap is on.
Seems silly, but it can save you some dignity at the pumps.

De-ice your windshield This one is once again for all our northerner
friends who have to deal with an icy windshield every time they want to go out for a drive.
It's the simplest car-hack you've ever heard.
Park facing east.
Shocked by the simplicity?
As everyone who's ever attended third grade knows, the sun rises in the east and sets
in the west.
Therefore, if your car is facing east, it'll get a good blast of sunshine in the early
morning, which should help loosen up all the built up ice and snow.
This of course won't work during a blizzard or on super cloudy days, but hey, even if
it only melts a bit of ice, parking facing east is not too much work, provided your driveway
allows for it.
