Before you read, look at the picture(s) if any, as well as the title. What do you think the article will be about?
 
I think this article will talk about how clean a car with things that you use every day or foods that you eat each day like Coca cola or something else.
Another item could be what we have to do for keeping our car like a one new and only with simple and very cheap things.
<!--[if !supportLists]-->5     <!--[endif]-->Read the article and describe what you understand of it in as much detail as possible.
 
The article was about how simple, unexpected and cheap tips can help us to clean our car in a easy way. Maybe there are a lot of ways but this text give us 13 tricks. One: if you want a shine car, then you have to wash it with hair conditioner, so you find that the surface will repel rain. Two: Don't worry about streaks and bloches on your windshields, you should pour cola over the glass. Three: Use vodka for your windshield-washer, how? Buy a cheapest vodka, mix 3 cups with 4 cups water and 2 teaspoons liquid. Four: I am so sure that you have in your home some window cleaner, well it is very usefull for the car lights only spread it on car light and rubbing with an old pair of panty hose. Five: Feminine higiene maxi – pads can be substitute to the sail, when you wipe it the glass will really shine. Six: Another way to clean the windshields is using household amonia. Seven: Baking soda can be a good option too if you want to have your car always shine but it is a Little to make it so I do not recomend you. Some people have used Banish back road and they say it is good but that was difficult to get the banish but have you ever tried to wash your car with kerosene?, yes! Kerosene I am not kidding you, with only 1 cup of kerosene in 3 gallon of water, the rain won't be a problema for your car.
Maybe some of you do not believe in these tips but why do not you try them?.
