Polishes, waxes, microfiber cloths, dashboard cleaners or windshield washers specific to the vehicle. When cleaning our car, we can use an endless number of products. But social networks are abuzz with solutions that are commonly used around the house, such as a fiber cloth to remove dust, a sponge with soapy water, and the usual window cleaner.
Even so, there are more innovative users who assure that, with a simple food, we can leave the car shining. At least, that’s what a TikTok user says, who has explained in his profile how a potato can be used to achieve spectacular cleaning results.
This young man explains several reasons why drivers like to carry chips in the car: “Do you think it’s for something fun? No, but because they are useful in three circumstances, to solve some critical situations”.
The first, this TikTok user continues, occurs when water accumulates in the rear-view mirror, an essential element that allows us to maintain our vision of the road and control the vehicles that arrive from behind. If it is full of drops, he ensures that you have to take a potato cut in half and pass it through the area. Afterwards, even if we hit the glass with a hose, it will repel the water.
Second utility: when we make a very long trip and some front parts are stained. Same operation as in the previous example, explains this young man. Pass the split potato several times and then rinse with water. And he assures that it is like new.
And one last application, very similar to the first: to clean the marks of drops of water that accumulate on the windows and that prevent the driver from seeing clearly what is next to him. A couple of passes, good rinse and done.
