The oxidation of the plastic headlight results in weakened lights with reduced area coverage. Apply an ample amount of toothpaste to a durable cloth and rub the toothpaste over the headlights thoroughly. Getting these clean won’t be easy. You’ll really need to scrub. Rinse off with water and then dry. If you want to add extra protection you can use car wax protection or furniture polish. 

Set Up A Portable Trash Can

We all know how it happens. You swing through a drive-thru buy a cheeseburger and a milkshake, throw the containers in the back seat of your car and accidentally forget about them. Instead of your car turning into a landfill, use a plastic cereal container, a plastic bag or even a small box where you can collect all your trash. This way you only got to empty your car trash every week or two.
