The cold weather is here, and it's time to make sure your car is properly prepared. You have to make sure that your car can withstand this winter mechanically.
You’ll also want to ensure that you have the tools to deal with snow and ice.
1) Emergency Kit
It’s always best to be prepared. It is wise to have an emergency kit in your vehicle to keep you safe if you get stuck in your car during the winter. You unzip a winter coat and place underwear, extra socks, a warm hat, gloves, scarf, and snow pants too. Zip it up and store in your car. Your kit also needs to have a candle, matches and or a lighter, a flashlight, a warm blanket, phone charger, hand/foot warmers, bottle of water, and energy bars.
2) Stop Foggy Windows
Foggy windows are annoying and can also be dangerous. You can roll down your windows to quickly defog windows. Additionally, you can keep a clean chalkboard eraser in your car to wipe the fog away.
3) Don’t Get Stuck
Don’t want to get stuck in the snow? No prob. Place a few twenty-pound bags of kitty litter in your trunk. They'll give your rear wheels tractions if you have rear wheel drive. Try also sprinkling some under the tires. Keeping a small shovel in the trunk is also a good idea.
4) Socks In the Glove Box
Always keep a pair of socks in your glove compartment. It'll give you better traction if you have to push your car over ice or walk on ice.
5) Keep The Underside Of Your Car Clean
It is important to keep regularly clean off the bottom of your car during the winter. That's because it can accumulate salt, dirt, and ice which can cause damage and erosion. You can slide a sprinkler underneath your car on a warmer day and drive back and forth over it.
6) Socks As Windshield Wiper Covers
Do not let your wiper blades ice up. Put some thick warm socks over them at night. It'll make it easier to de-ice your windshield in the morning.
7) Increase Your Headlight Visibility
It is important to have good visibility when it snows. The best way to do this it so ensure you are headlights are clear. Cover your headlights with a bit of toothpaste, let it sit for a bit and rinse with warm water.
8) Protect Your Headlight
Once you have cleared your headlights, you will want to keep them protected. Add just a layer of wax to your headlamps. Snow and water will slide right off.
9) Keep Wiper Blades From Sticking
If you aren't using socks on your blades, they can actually get frozen to your windshield. Pour some rubbing alcohol on a cloth and wipe the blade down with it. The alcohol will keep your blades from sticking to your window.
10) Shaving Cream Your Windows
Stop window fog before it develops. Cover the windows using your shaving cream and then wipe it off. Shaving cream has several of the same ingredients as commercial defoggers.
11) Keep Doors From Freezing
You can avoid buying the deicer by using a bit of WD-40. Spray some in the keyhole as well, oh and a bit in cracks of your doors, and not to mention on the rubber before the cold weather hits. It'll prevent from icing in the keyhole. It'll also prevent frozen water from resting in the cracks of your doors.
12) DIY Ice Scraper
Did you forget your ice scraper? That's not a problem, as you can run in the house and grab a spatula. You can also use a plastic card.
13) Makeshift De-Icer
Is your lock, car door and/or handle frozen? You only have to heat your key with a lighter or match and place it into the lock. Or simply a straw to blow into a bit of air in the keyhole. You can also squirt a bit of hand sanitizer onto the door handle and let the ice melt.
14) Use The Sun
Park your car facing east. Since the sun rises in this way, it'll naturally defrost your windshield. You will use less elbow grease when de-icing your car in the morning.
15) Stock Up On Windshield Washer Fluid
Your windows get pretty dirty during the winter. You have ice and snow spewing onto your windshield from cars driving in front of you. You will need a lot of windshield washer fluid. You can make your own here.
16) DIY Vinegar De-Icer
Instantly de-ice your full windshield with a spray. Create it yourself. Mix three parts vinegar with one part water and spray the mixture onto your windshield so that ice will not form.
17) Prevent Your Side Mirrors From Frosting
Sometimes it takes a while from your side mirrors to defrost. Prevent them from freezing up by placed a plastic bag over your mirrors overnight. You only need to secure them with a rubber band.
18) Prevent Car Moisture
Cars can be filled with a lot of moisture in the winter from condensation and fogging. Fill a stocking or sock with kitty litter and leave it in your car overnight. It'll absorb all the water and moisture.
19) Put A Rug On Your Windshield
Place a rug or tarp over your windshield before it snows. The snow and ice will not stick. You merely have to pull it off.
20) Use A Penny To Check Your Tires
Having proper tire treads is so useful when driving in the winter. Hold a penny with your fingers grasping Lincoln’s body. Put it in one of the grooves in your tire. If the top of Lincoln’s head disappears, it's okay, if not you need new tires.
21) Use A Broom
Getting snow off the top of your vehicle is a pain in the ass. It can be dangerous, though, if you don’t. Push it off with a broom.
22) Smack Your Car Up
Is your car covered in ice? Smack the hood. It will shatter the ice.
23) Or Karate Chop It
Roll your window down. Karate chop the remaining ice. Just don’t hurt yourself.
24) Cardboard For Traction
Stuck in the snow? Keep some cardboard in your car. Put it under your tires for traction.
25) Don’t Leave Water Bottles In Your Car
Don't leave water bottles in your car during the winter. It'll create frost on the inside of the windows. Just toss them or bring them inside.

When I asked whether Dr, wakina and his spell can set me up to my estranged husband, tbh I was never anticipating a sincere honesty from him as I made my plea because I was scared of falling into the wrong hand of someone that will take advantage of my desperation 😫. So, I avoided letting desperate situation make me do desperate things which I might regret in future. It was different with Dr. Wakina, I have never seen a man of his kind tbh, he was more like a spiritual father and guardian angel 😇 via dr.wakinalovetemple@gmail.com.
ReplyDeleteMy husband grew to resent and detest me but not once has my love waivered for him. However, things ended between us as we became enemies, communication ended as we live apart together. But I was deeply hurt regardless of his shortcomings 💔. He was always shitting me out of his life when he was seeing someone else, he even blocked me from his Facebook page.
Well, the above ordeal is part of our success story today after love spell cast by Dr. Wakina, my CUPCAKE ❤ wants to be with me till the end of time 💃🌈🎉
