8 tips to handle car problems
(Baonghean.vn) - Despite being knowledgeable about cars and having a lot of experience driving, many people still feel "confused" when their car encounters some minor problems that they could have handled themselves... The following tips can help drivers solve problems and drive more comfortably and effectively.
1. Clean the air in your car with scented candles
 |
On humid days, the car often has a musty smell... At this time, just use scented candles in the car and close the doors. The high temperature in the car melts the candles and spreads the scent throughout the car, eliminating unpleasant odors, leaving a gentle scent afterwards.
2. Remove the patches
 |
If you buy a used car and are not satisfied with the small stickers on the body or windows, just soak a piece of newspaper in warm water. Then apply it to the stickers for 10 minutes.
3. Clean the headlights
 |
If you do not want to use expensive solutions, you can use toothpaste as an alternative. Apply toothpaste to the surface of the headlight, use a cloth or soft brush to scrub vigorously. Then rinse with water, the headlight will be visibly shiny.
4. Anti-glare while driving
 |
To avoid the sun shining directly into your eyes, making it difficult to control the car, you can use a thin plastic sheet to stick on the windshield with suction cup or glue. You can also try with colored film commonly used in greenhouses for growing vegetables and flowers.
5. Easy cleaning of air conditioner vents
 |
Dust often accumulates a lot on the slots of the air conditioner vents, however these slots are very small and you can not clean them with a normal towel. Find a soft foam pad and cut it into the shape as above, you will see that cleaning these vents is extremely simple, bringing high efficiency.
6. Renew rubber parts

After a long time of use, the rubber gasket on the door or window has worn out, causing rainwater to leak into the car; or the rubber part right on the old wiper creates an unpleasant sound during use, the ability to clean water on the car glass is also significantly reduced...
Maintenance tips for this situation can be solved by using tire care spray, after spraying, wipe it clean; For the wiper part, use a thin rubber piece and clean it thoroughly, when doing so, use a gentle hand.
7. Use soap and warm water to clean the engine.

The first thing to do is to cover all sensitive parts such as the electrical parts, battery, air intake, etc. with plastic bags, then scrub the engine with a soft cloth; don't forget to remove all bags when finished.
