40 Handy Tips and Tricks Every Car Owner Should Know

Don’t you just hate when you get scratches on your car? They can come from all sorts of sources: the drive-thru, another car door in a parking lot, or even a bicycle in your driveway. Of course, it’s crazy expensive to get a whole new paint job, but those minor scratches can be a huge eyesore.
