Light hearted but maybe a few keepers out there....

Thought it might be interesting to see if any of you use products / love products that are meant for one thing but are great at other uses...

Example:

Toothpaste - hear me out here.. Odd I know but great for Chrome exhausts when used with an old brush!

WD40 - Something I got from this forum. But a keeper. Great to hide marks on a car and great for removing stuck on bugs!

Baby Wipes - these things are genius. Clean glass and potentially used as quick detailers out on the road if used carefully!

CIf Cream Original bathroom cleaner. Great for cleaning stitching on steering wheels Also good on exhausts. In fact also great for cleaning up old trainers!

Now some more normal car products....

Carplan Demon Spray on Shine - Trigger bottle makes a great quick detailer / waterless wash if used neat!

Meguairs Wash & Wax Anywhere - great all over the car. I have even used it on wheels many times as a quick wax / mini sealant. Helps to make cleaning Alloys the next time a lot easier.

Armour All Protectant Gloss Finish- People mainly use this for plastics- however ...Have used it for years on tyres. Provides a great quick finish and never slings. Lasts pretty well too. Suprised it never makes it on the list for Auto Express reviews.

I haven't used it yet, but;

Miltons baby steriliser - apparently it is good for the convertible roofs as it kills most bacteria.

I do also put a dash of my car shampoo (either dodo juice born to be prime or purple velvet by autobrite) in the snow foam for a bit more suds and makes it smell much nicer!!
