Here Are Some Winter Weather Tips That You Might Like to Try For Outside Parking During Winter Time!!

For those of us who park our cars outside...winter is here, so we offer a few tips:
* Keep your headlights clear with car wax. Just wipe ordinary car wax on
your headlights. It contains special water repellents that will prevent
that messy mixture from accumulating on your lights, and lasts six
weeks.

* Squeak-proof your wipers with rubbing alcohol. Wipe the wipers with a
cloth saturated with rubbing alcohol or ammonia. This one trick can make
badly streaking and squeaking wipers change to near perfect silence and
clarity.

* Ice-proof your windows with vinegar. Just fill a spray bottle with
three parts vinegar to one part water and spritz it on all your windows
at night. In the morning, they'll be clear of icy mess. Vinegar contains
acetic acid, which raises the melting point of water, preventing water
from freezing.

* Prevent car doors from freezing shut with cooking spray. Spritz
cooking oil on the rubber seals around car doors and rub it in with a
paper towel. The cooking spray prevents water from melting into the rubber.

* Fog-proof your windshield with shaving cream. Spray some shaving cream
on the inside of your windshield and wipe if off with paper towels.
Shaving cream has many of the same ingredients found in commercial
defoggers.

* De-ice your lock in seconds with hand sanitizer. Just put some hand
sanitizer gel on the key and lock.
