I Forgot Which Side My Gas Tank Is On. What Do I Do?
Have you ever been in this situation: you just bought a new car and pulled into a gas station, but you can't remember which side the gas tank is on? Well, on your dashboard, next to the gas pump icon, there's a small arrow. That arrow points to the side where your gas tank is located.
Bad Smell in the Car? There's a Solution!
Let's imagine a situation where one of your friends decided to smoke a cigarette in your car. The smell is far from pleasant, right? Well, you can neutralize it, and quite quickly at that! Just scatter some activated charcoal tablets around the interior. Be assured, your car will regain its freshness in literally 20 minutes!
A Dent on the Car? It's Pretty Easy to Fix!
If a small dent appears on your car, don't rush to a repair shop and pay the mechanics a lot of money. You can fix the dent with a simple plunger! Just press it onto the damaged spot, pull the metal out, and your steed is as good as new!
Cracks in the Windshield
Cracks in the windshield can appear completely unexpectedly, for example, from a sudden temperature change or from a stone chip hitting the glass directly.
Of course, this method is temporary, but it will help as a first aid. Apply clear nail polish on both sides of the crack. This will help prevent the crack from spreading.
Removing Stickers with a Wet Newspaper
It sometimes happens that specialized stickers are placed on car windows. This also applies to the common practice of advertising or posting a "for sale" sign on the vehicle. Fortunately, there is a simple and effective method to get rid of them: use a newspaper soaked in warm water and placed over the sticker. This will soften the adhesive to the right consistency, allowing you to easily remove it from the glass. Any sticky residue can be scraped off using a razor blade.
