Bad Luck Comes and Goes, But It’s Much More Satisfying to Outsmart It!
To do that, you’ll need Hitar Petar’s arsenal—tricks to counter all those little annoyances that make every driver's life harder.
In this short article, we've gathered 5 top hacks for you and your car! Enjoy reading (and tricking)!
1. Vinegar is not just for salads—it defrosts your windows too!
When temperatures drop and you don’t have a garage, be prepared for a thick layer of ice on your windshield. And not just any ice—the kind that a scraper can’t handle.
Don’t get frustrated! And whatever you do, don’t pour hot water on the glass—that’ll only make things worse. Instead, use a mixture of vinegar and water to melt the ice.
A super quick, easy, and effective trick to get you to work on time!
2. A 2 BGN coin can measure your tire tread—it’s not a joke!
Are your tires road-safe and up to traffic regulations? You can check with just one coin!
By law, the tread depth must be at least 4 mm, but how do you measure it on the go?
Easy! Take a 2 BGN coin—its silver outer edge is exactly 4 mm. If you can’t see the silver part when you insert it into the tread, you’re good to go!
3. Wipers clean your windshield, but who cleans the wipers?!
Cleaning your wiper blades with a bit of alcohol and a microfiber cloth is an easy and effective way to keep them in top shape.
After all, even wipers need cleaning, despite their job being… well, cleaning!
4. Never forget which side your fuel cap is on again!
No need for guessing! The answer has always been right in front of you—on the dashboard!
Just look at your fuel gauge and find the small gas pump icon. The arrow next to it points to the side where your fuel cap is!
This trick is especially handy if you often drive a friend’s car or rent a car for a few days.
5. Toothpaste works for headlights (but only car headlights!)
Clean teeth, clean headlights! Keeping your headlights clear is extremely important, but professional cleaning is expensive and time-consuming.
The solution? Toothpaste!
Rub a bit of toothpaste on your headlights, scrub gently, and watch the dirt disappear! Wipe with a damp cloth, and you’re good to go.
