Here are 10 amazing WD-40 life hacks for your car that you might not have thought of:
1. Remove Stubborn Stickers and Decals
Spray WD-40 on stickers, decals, or leftover adhesive from old stickers. Let it sit for a few minutes, then peel it off effortlessly.
2. Prevent Ice Buildup on Windows
Apply WD-40 to the outside of your car windows and wipe it down with a clean cloth. This creates a barrier to prevent frost and ice from sticking during cold weather.
3. Unstick Door Locks
If your car door locks freeze or get sticky, a quick spray of WD-40 into the keyhole can loosen things up and keep moisture out.
4. Clean Bug Splatter
Spray WD-40 on bug splatter stuck to your car's grille or windshield. Let it sit for a minute, then wipe clean with a cloth.
5. Polish and Protect Chrome
Use WD-40 to clean and polish chrome finishes on your car. Spray lightly, wipe with a soft cloth, and restore that shiny look.
6. Loosen Stuck Bolts
WD-40 works wonders on rusted or stuck bolts and screws. Spray the area, let it penetrate for a few minutes, and turn the bolt with ease.
7. Remove Scuff Marks
Got unsightly scuffs on your car's paint or bumpers? A little WD-40 on a cloth can help buff them away without damaging the paint.
8. Silence Squeaky Hinges
Spray WD-40 on door hinges or the latch mechanism to eliminate squeaks and ensure smooth operation.
9. Clean Tire Sidewalls
Restore your tires’ sidewalls to a like-new appearance. Spray WD-40 onto a rag and wipe the tires to remove dirt and grime.
10. Protect Battery Terminals
A light coating of WD-40 on your car's battery terminals prevents corrosion, ensuring a more reliable connection and extending battery life.
Note: Always test WD-40 on a small area first and avoid using it on sensitive materials, like leather upholstery or electronics.
