Winter tricks I didn't get to use this year

Before winter started I prepared for possible harsh weather by anticipating and preparing...but winter this year has been warm and dry so I'll have to keep these tricks in mind for next year.

Keep your headlights clear with car wax, just wipe ordinary car wax on your headlights. It contains water repellents that prevent mess and gunk from accumulating. The wax lasts about 6 months.
   
Squeak-proof your wipers with rubbing alcohol! Wipe the wipers with a cloth saturated with rubbing alcohol or ammonia. This one trick can make badly streaking & squeaking wipers change to near perfect silence & clarity.

Ice-proof your windows with vinegar! Just fill a spray bottle with three parts vinegar to one part water & spritz it on all your windows at night. In the morning, they'll be clear of icy mess. Vinegar contains acetic acid, which raises the freezing point of water ---preventing frost from forming!
Prevent car doors from freezing shut with cooking spray! Spray cooking oil (corn oil-based) on the rubber seals around car doors & rub it in with a paper towel. The cooking spray prevents water from freezing onto the rubber

Fog-proof your windshield with shaving cream! Spray some shaving cream on the inside of your windshield & wipe it off with paper towels, leaving no smears. Shaving cream has many of the same ingredients found in commercial defoggers.

De-ice your lock in seconds with hand sanitizer! Just put some hand sanitizer gel on the key & the lock and your problem is solved!
