Do you know that you can fix many car issues with simple tools such as plunger and nail paints? We have enlisted 12 amazing and straightforward hacks and DIYs for car owners. What's more, you can perform most of these car care tips without any elbow grease!

Nail Polish Can Fix Car Scratches

You can apply a coat of nail paint on the car's paint coat to hide the scratches. Though this is a temporary fix, it is pretty compelling. This trick typically leads to a perfect finish. Also, the nail paint will prevent the scratched area from rusting.

Fix Dents with Plungers

A word of caution is that the plunger trick might not be successful every time. If you find a huge dent in your car, the chances are that a plunger can fix it. You have to spray a little water to attach the plunger to the affected area and then pull it to pull out the dent.

Enhance Keyfob Range

Do you know that you can enhance the range of your keyfob with a simple trick? By bringing the keyfob close to your body, you can improve the signals. The bounded area of the body acts as a resonance chamber.

Sparkle Headlights for Toothpaste

Wipe some toothpaste on the blurry and old headlight and watch it shine like your teeth! The abrasiveness in toothpaste can get rid of the grime and dirt from the headlight.

Use a Stapler to Open Keyring

Many of us have hurt our fingers in an attempt to take out the car key from the ring. However, you could avoid all that extra effort using a stapler. The pin remover behind the stapler can open the keyring easily!

Analyze the Exhaust Smoke Colour

You can judge the health of your car by taking a look at the colour of the exhaust smoke. White, blue, grey, and black exhaust smoke indicate different things. If your car is emitting black smoke, it is a sign that the motor is burning extra fuel.

Mileage Improving Hack

Do you know that you can improve its mileage by loading the car lighter? Keep the trunk of the car as light as possible. You also have to ensure that your car's tyres are in good health. Underinflated car tyres can reduce fuel efficiency.

Right Foot Braking for Extending Brake Lifespan

You might not be aware, but right foot braking is an excellent trick to extend the longevity and responsiveness of your car's brakes. You must train yourself in proper engine braking so that the brakes get the treatment they deserve!

Car Cleaning Tip

You can use liquid dishwashing soap to get those tacky petrol stains from your car's floor. Many regular home cleaning items can help you take better care of your vehicle. You can use soap and water to keep your car's engine compartment clean and tidy.

Topping the Coolant

Coolant is the liquid in the car's engine. As the name suggests, the purpose of the liquid is to keep the engine cool. If the coolant levels reduce, the motors can overheat. Whenever you spot reduced coolant levels, make sure to top it up!

We hope you enjoyed reading these super simple car hacks and DIYs!
