You might have heard about the unseen wonders held in a can of WD-40, but did they tell you how you can use it to clean your car? In this month’s blog, we’re taking a break from auto repair tips to further your WD-40 education so you can keep your car looking its best!
Removes Tree Sap
During the hot summer months, you’ll probably find some shade to park in when you go out—perhaps under a tree. The problem with trees, however, is the sap that makes its way to the exterior of your car. This creates a magnet for dirt, causing some unsightly spots on your car. A little bit of WD-40 can help remove this scum to keep your car looking fantastic.
Cleans Bugs
If you’ve ever been on a road trip, you know that it pretty much always ends with a plethora of bugs scattered on your windshield or grill. Usually, clearing this off can be done in a few minutes at a gas station, but sometimes you have to use something a little stronger than window cleaner. Use WD-40 on the rough spots of your grill or windshield and you will be out of that sticky situation in no time!
Chrome Detailer
When it comes to maintaining the nice look of your car, keeping the shiny parts shiny—like chrome—can be a tough process. Try spraying a little WD-40 on a small rag and use it to polish the chrome sections on your vehicle. This will help you keep that new car shine and protect the body of your car at the same time.
Lubricates Gas Caps
While stopping for gas is #1 on America’s most annoying daily activities, not being able to get your gas cap off can make the situation even worse. WD-40 can make the process that much easier. Spray a little bit on your cap to make filling up a squeak-free process.
While WD-40 is great for small fixes in your car, when it comes to larger repairs you should only trust ASE Certified technicians. As a car repair shop serving Albuquerque, we hope you’ll trust us with all your automotive needs.
