Remove stains on 6 car parts with toothpaste extremely effectively

1. Cleaning the car gear lever

The gear lever is a part of the car that is very easy to get dirty but is rarely paid attention to when cleaning. After a period of use, sweat from your hands will stain the gear lever, which is both unsightly and unhygienic. Using a toothbrush and a tube of toothpaste will clean the gear lever.

This solution is especially useful for manual transmission vehicles where the gear shifter has a diagram of the gear grooves printed on it, creating ideal conditions for dirt to accumulate.

2. Clean the fuel tank cap

Don’t be foolish enough to spray high-pressure water into the gas tank cap, whether your vehicle is a car or a motorbike. Doing so can cause water to collect at the gas tank opening and cause rust, or worse, water to get inside the gas tank. The best way to clean is to dry it with a toothbrush and toothpaste.

3. Clean the lock

Car locks are very hydrophobic because there are many conductive contacts inside. If water accidentally gets in, it can cause rust or sparks. In the worst case, it can cause a short circuit. Toothbrushes and toothpaste tubes are safe cleaning tools in this case.

4. Clean lights and signal lights

Rain and sun will make the bulb fade and become yellow, affecting the aesthetics and lighting ability. Use a soft brush or rag and a tube of toothpaste to clean and help your car's bulb shine again.

5. Cleaning car leather seats

The leather surface of the car seat will be cleaner and shinier if there is toothpaste intervention. What you need to do is prepare a tube of toothpaste, a toothbrush and a soft cloth. If the leather surface has cracks/tears, you can cover them with tape before cleaning the car seat with toothpaste.

6. Clean license plate

Those who drive cars with nice license plates but do not care about this issue are really wasteful. Using a tube of toothpaste and a cleaning cloth will clean stubborn stains on the license plate that normal water spray cannot clean.
