Among those mentioned is toothpaste, which can effectively remove minor surface scratches, thanks to its mild abrasiveness that polishes rough areas without damaging the paint. And it can be picked up from a supermarket for around £1.
Whether you’re dealing with old stickers, tree sap, or other stubborn marks, a quick spray of WD-40 will dissolve the residue, making it easy to wipe away with a soft cloth.
For stubborn stains like bird droppings, a simple mix of baking soda and warm water works wonders, lifting the marks with ease.
Another unexpected but effective item for car care is peanut butter.

Simply rub a small amount onto the trim, let it sit for a few minutes, and then buff it off with a clean cloth.
For streak-free windows, mix dish soap with warm water or white vinegar in a spray bottle, dampen a sponge and gently clean the glass to remove dirt and smudges.
To get rid of stubborn stains or scuffs, sprinkle baking soda on a wet cloth or create a paste with water, applying it to the stains before wiping it away.
