Mechanic's 20 BANNED White Vinegar Car Hacks That Engineers Now Call GENIUS

Gene here. There is a two dollar jug of plain white vinegar in your kitchen that quietly does the work of a whole shelf of car care products costing ten, twenty, thirty times as much. The parts store has no reason to mention it, so I will. Twenty ways an old hand puts it to work on a car, counted down to the one the chemists and engineers will back you up on. Inside this one: streak free glass inside and out, dead bugs softened off the grille, winter salt stains lifted out of the carpet, that locker room smell killed in the air conditioning vents, a bumper sticker peeled in one piece, fresh bird droppings caught before they etch, light rust wiped off chrome, a seized bolt freed overnight, fuzzy battery corrosion fizzed clean, and the big one, rust dissolved clean off steel by real chemistry, with the one neutralizing step almost everybody skips. I give you the honest limit on every single trick, including the four places vinegar will cost you money instead of saving it: leather, touchscreens, aluminum radiators, and clear coated wheels. #carrepair #diycartips #oldschoolmechanic #whitevinegar #savemoney Which vinegar trick is already in your bag? Tell me the silliest shop charge that turned out to be a two dollar fix. Disclaimer: This video is for general information only. Vinegar is a mild acid. Wear gloves and eye protection around batteries, keep it off leather, touchscreens, unsealed wood, aluminum cooling systems, and clear coated wheels, never let it dry on paint, and follow all product safety instructions. Work on your vehicle at your own risk, and when in doubt have a qualified mechanic do the job.
