    I can definitely promote the toothpaste trick for cleaning hazed light lenses. I will usually wax the lenses afterwards too, this will keep them from re-hazing for a longer period of time.

    Another trick I have found to make tire sidewalls look clean is to use whitewall tire cleaner which cleans off all of the mud and dirt, then use spray wax to finish clean/shine the surface. The result is a much more natural looking new rubber than a slimmed up coating.

    1999 BMW e36 328is with rotary valve engine head
    1999 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight
    1990 Jeep Comanche Eliminator
    1962 Austin Healey Sprite

    My car doesn't have a very advanced computer, will these hacks still work?
    Interested in vintage cars? Ever thought about racing one?

    The hacks work for car or motorcycle
    Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by hundreds of engineers that get paid thousands of dollars for something you bought at Pep Boys because your buddy who doesn't have a job told you it was 'better'?!?

    I've actually found that using a bucket of warm water with some baby shampoo in it and a rag works great for cleaning leather
