    So there was using coca cola to clean your windows (not great for the seals though if not rinsed), using mouthwash to clean out the window washer and lines, and have now just discovered using tooth paste to restore the headlights (not sure about the side effects of the last three). So any other odd cleaning tips out there.

    Vinegar for the windows.

    Bread soda for damp.

    Vinegar works btw.
    As does a half of lemon to remove smells.

    When touring during the summer with buses and people carriers, I find it cheaper to use window washer - the Tesco stuff which isn't concentrated in a squirt bottle and blue paper to clean the entire vehicle than washing it every day.

    It works just depends on the pressure you can get from your erm, nozzle :pac:

    With newspaper :cool:

    Back when i used to paintball and airsoft people used to say rubbing washing up liquid on the inside of your goggles would stop them from steaming up. It worked sometimes but I mostly ended up using mesh goggles. Maybe it could work for headlights and indicators that condensate ?

    Go to Mcdonald drive through.

    Eat several hamburgers.

    Pull up beside the bin.

    Fill maccers bag with accumulated paper and general sh!te from the last month or so.

    Dump.

    Burn off before the dude who clears the bins suspects a thing.
