Hmm. I never thought of that, but I can see it working great. I might just have to try it.

Use regular white toothpaste for your headlights It works as well I have used also like a ball of tinfoil to remove the rust in a paint chip a lot of time when you apply the brakes the Hot <>brake dust flies on to the clear-coat melts thru and starts the rust spot process!

Do you have any more little tips like those?? I've been putting off taking care of the rust spots that have been developing around my wheel wells. I'm gonna have to try this too.

Upholstery Shampoo Here is a homemade cleaner that will clean fabric seats in Car
Actually clean your home furniture with it as well lol
What yopu will need is ...
6 tablespoons pure soap flakes • 2 tablespoons borax • 1 pint boiling water
1. In a large bowl, mix the soap flakes and borax together. Slowly add the boiling water, stirring well, to thoroughly dissolve the dry ingredients.
2. Let cool, then whip into a foamy consistency with an egg beater.
3. Brush dry suds onto the furniture, concentrating on soiled areas. Quickly wipe them off with a damp sponge.

What, 8 nuts and you can remove the front seats? Yank out the carpet, lay it in the middle of the driveway, hose it down, throw a cup of Tide laundry detergent on it, grab a brush with long handle and scrub the carpet. Let sit for half an hour, rinse, hang dry.
The smell from the Tide will stay in that carpet for a looong time. Beats any car air freshener.

Best way to do headlights is a headlight restore kit. Or if you don't have one of those. Wetsand/polish/buff/wax and they should turn out really good.
