Let's us tell you how to use your car in smart ways!

When using a car, you sometimes run into unexpected troubles. To save your precious time, let's follow 10 tips on how to use your car effectively from Philkotse.com as below:

1. Unlock the car remotely with "head"

According to car maintenance tips, if the key fob is running out of battery, you just put it under your chin, open your mouth toward the car and press the unlock button, then the car will receive the signal and blink immediately. This tip also applies if you want to unlock the car remotely.

2. Seasonal parking location

Those who have experience in driving know that parking is also important. If you do not know how to park, you will possibly destroy the tire all the time. For example, in the hot summer, you should park your car to the west because it will avoid the sun. The person sitting inside does not feel hot and the car also saves fuel. When it is cold, you park the car to the east, the fog will disappear, and the car interior is also warmer. This tip is extremely effective if you have to go to work at 8 - 9am, but it's a little inconvenient if you have to leave your car in the basement or in a public place.

3. Use plastic utensils or trash containers

When you finish using the plastic cup, instead of throwing it away, keep it and wash it to store trivial items such as keys, rechargeable batteries and so on, or simply use them as a mini bin.

4. Wipe off stains with WD40

With only the rust remover WD40 and wet clothes, stains or scratches of any size could be completely "wiped off". This oil can be easily bought in stores or supermarkets. For special paints such as vinyl or rubber, you should only use an adequate amount to avoid damage the coating paint. In particular, you should not use nail polish to cover the stain, it only makes the spot unbearable.

5. Desiccant sand

In order to solve the problem of fogging windows due to dust or moist, use a sock containing desiccant sand (used to clean the pet) and place it at a suitable location. Make sure you tie the sock with a cord to avoid sand falling out.

6. How to remove stickers on the car

For those who are new to driving, parking and reversing are often difficult, especially when your garage is too small. Simply hang a tennis ball at the position where you want to park, which will help you to position correctly.
