We heard from some of the best mechanics in the industry, and when it comes to auto overhauling hacking, here’s what they had to say:

#1: Grab a Coke

Coca-Cola is a favorite amongst mechanics – and not just for hydrating. The beverage’s high acidity levels and corrosive action target rust head-on – perfect for almost any vehicle’s exterior.

#2: Use Washing Soda for Fabric Seats

This common household staple easily and effectively lifts stubborn stains from fabric seats in cars. Simply mix with a little water and dishwashing liquid, and you’re golden.

#3: Scrub Headlights With Toothpaste

Headlights bear a lot of brunt on the road, collecting dirt and grime every time you ride. Thankfully, a little whitening toothpaste brushes dirt right off.

#4: Add Shine with Hair Conditioner

Instead of splurging on costly materials to keep your car shining, try hair conditioner. It works wonders.

There’s no need to over-spend – money or energy wise – on dents. Grab a plunger and suction the dent out with minimal effort or time required.
