CAR CLEANERS

Shop bought car cleaning products are very effective but they can contain a large amount of nasty chemicals. Here are a few suggestions on how to keep your vehicle in top shape without damaging the environment. Let me know if you use the ideas and whether they mach up to the mass produced products.

Now that the autumn and winter is closing in we need to think about keeping the car windscreens clear To make a solution Mix 3 parts vinegar to 1 part water and coat the car windows with this solution. This vinegar and water combination will keep windshields ice and frost-free.

Car Soap1/4 cup vegetable oil based liquid soap, and hot water. Mix in a bucket. Wash your car on the lawn instead of your driveway to reduce runoff to the street or the drains.

Car Wax1 cup linseed oil, 4 tbsp. caranuba wax (available at motor shops), 2 tbsp. beeswax, and 1/2-cup vinegar. Put ingredients into a saucepan. Heat slowly until wax has melted. Stir, and pour into a heat resistant container. After wax has solidified, rub it on the car with a lint-free cloth. Saturate a corner of a cotton rag with vinegar and polish the wax to a deep shine.
