You can also used coarse pepper the spice to plug radiator leaks. I did that to my Chevy Chevette when a corn stalk went through it. And it plugged up the hole for a while.
Use Kitty Litter for oil spills (Not Bread) - Let it soak for around an hour, then sweep it up or use your Garden Hose to blow away. Litter is also good during the Winter seasons for Icy conditions such as Driveways. ToothPaste on your WindShield & Mirrors as an AntiFog.
I usually just wash it with some dish soap and let it air dry. The film usually lasts for a while and keeps it from fogging up. Especially on the inside of the windshield. Just don't use too much soap or it will get blurry.
The plunger trick works best when you do it as soon as possible. The metal will set the longer you leave it and make it harder or impossible to pull the dent.
If you find a "grandpa's secret", remember that there is probably a very good reason that it never became common practice or fell out of favor. For instance, rubbing alcohol will make your wiper blades crack and wear out faster, bread to soak up oil is stupid and cat litter, sand, and sawdust all work better. Heating a modern key fob with a lighter will melt it, WD40 on a belt is just asking for a costly repair, and nobody wants to drive a car that stinks like an onion from rubbing it on their windshield. This video should really have a "for entertainment purposes only" disclaimer at the beginning.
Vaseline on door seals will make dust and dirt stick to it, wearing out the paint where the seal touches, burying the grit into the seals, and smearing on your clothes when you get in and out of the car.
100%silicone spray is the stuff to use on felt/rubber window guides and door, trunklid seals, it doesn't degrade the seals or ruin the window guide felt, rubbing a crayon on belts will help squeaks
@@davebaker9128 Back in my day - lol - for the window runners, we used to use powdered graphite and the tiniest amount of sewing machine oil to allow it to stick to the felt, but that was back in the days when doors had frames and the bailey channel felts were enclosed on 3 sides with not a lot of spare space. Mixing it with liquid silicone would have definitely been a better option if it was available back in those days. I'm guessing you are talking about wax crayons to give the belt traction, an oil based crayon would probably still allow it to slip, but at least it would be colourful while staying quiet. 😂 Either way, a squealing belt is a warning alarm that the belt is worn, time to get it replaced soon.
The pantyhose trick requires that you twist the hose kinda like a rope then tie it around the pulleys, also it's important that you don't get any yolk from the egg in the radiator, only egg whites
I never actually tried that egg in the radiator thing. I wonder if it would work for a leaking head gasket. I guess you got to keep the yolks out so the car is cholesterol won't be too high.😁
Your first "trick" of using panty hose to replace a broken timing belt - as pictured. A simple recipe to destroy an engine in about 2 seconds. It will never run again. . A broken belt can sometimes be replaced without a lot of engine damage. Using a panty hose will ruin the valve gear and pistons on a modern engine and turn the engine into a pile of scrap metal. A very expensive trick. Your advice is rubbish.
Most likely the engine was already destroyed before he put those pantyhose on. Maybe if it was a non-interference engine you wouldn't make it any worse. for a fan belt not a lot of fans operate by a belt anymore. For the windshield wiper thing you should wipe your windshield wipers off every month with a paper towel and some clean water or maybe some soapy water. They will last longer if you do. I wouldn't recommend alcohol because that may make them dry out and crack.
@@mollyhackman4910 Yes, great plan. Ha. A destroyed engine and you can make it run again with panty hose... Non-interference or not, that engine will not run with any amount of panty hose - the valve timing will be incorrect for both the inlet and the exhaust valve timing. It will never run. Never.
@@garymills7494 what are you talking about. If it just happened to be a non-interference engine then there is at least a one in a million chance that everything will be lined up. And if he has those extra support pantyhose you might get a couple seconds out of it. So give credit where credit is due. 😉
@@mollyhackman4910 Hi, if you do not know what you are talking about, please keep silent. Panty hose will NEVER line up camshafts. This engine will NEVER run. NEVER. The chance of lining up camshafts is about 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 to one. The chance of keeping them in line with panty hose is ZERO. This engine will never run. The engine will not run for even 2 seconds. The original poster has zero knowledge.
A raw egg will block the water ways in your cylinder head leading to over heating and a new cylinder head gasket will be needed keep your eggs in your fridge not in your engine its the same with stop leak solutions if it stops leaks it will stop your car heater working and clog up your cars cylinder head stupid advise your giving to people 😠

I used bread on my face as a teenager for oily skin
I put bread in my face! 😀👍
Sounds like the sort of thing that would get you some unwanted nicknames.
Car door hinges squeaking check strap spray car hinges with armour All spray will work
No fan belt these days, thermostatic fans made the belt obsolete
WD-40 on a squeaky belt? Sounds like red green to me..Duck tape is next
Yep...when the belt just slips on the pulley, squeak is gone!
Masks the problem. Dielectric grease works better, until your alternator bearings finally burn up in my case.
I once heard from a mechanic that if you put any kind of oil on a belt, it will make it slip off the pulley

remember one thing, grandpa doesn’t wear pantyhose. or if he creepy with in the trunk 😂 or nobody would strip a woman in the public 😂
Wd 40 is not a lubricant its a water displacer
Baby wipes would be great if you are heire car driver for a quick Clean Up
A rubber glove works better than a squeegee on dog hair
Interesting tips :-)
Glad you think so!
Take matchbook striker n rub it over both sides of wiper blades it exposed new rubber beneath
Granddad never had half of this stuff lol
Used the pantyhose trick in the 80's. Broke down on dirt road.
Heat the key up put it back in the lock what you think I'm 5 I've done this my whole life it always refreezes and then you get a spanking
❤❤❤😮😮😮😊😊😊 Great
So...Make sure your grandad wears pantyhose?
Plz dont crack an egg if you dont absolutely have to youll need a new radiator and entire cooling system
Effective is not the same as efficient. Please learn the difference and use it right!!
Panty hose on hybrid car. Good advice
A couple these hacks are not needed in most parts of Australia because were l live it doesn't snow it does get cold but no snow
Who’s Grandpa Said this🧐? Is the real question
Is it possible to use panty hose to tow another car when stuck or are desperate
Who ever tried these hack and it literally works💯, cause I am not a dumb as to try any of these shit to destroy my vehicle.
