my cleaning secrets

old socks.......

I am sure I am not the first person to think of this, but it occured to me one day while doing laundry. I was wondering what I could do with the socks that had holes in them and it occured to me that they would be great around the car. Assuming they are clean of course(I always find them folding anyway) they are well worn and soft material that you do not feel bad about throwing out after one use. Put one on your hand and now those hard to read places(valve covers or wheels for example) are not so hard to clean!

secret #2 - Before you wash the car open the trunk and put one sock under each of the shocks for the trunk lid and shut it. Now all the water that normally goes down the back window into those two small trays and then leaves water marks on your bumper will collect in the socks. When you are done washing the car simply pick them up and now you will not have any spots on yer bumper!

Anyone else have any secrets they could share?

i like the second one, but i would probably saturate it with so much water that it would work after a few minutes. i rinse my car completely after im done with each body panel to keep the water from drying and spotting on the car

I ran it through a high pressure touchless car wash with them this week and they worked. You would be suprised what an old sock can hold........ IT does not have to absorbe all of it, but just slow it down from running down onto the bumper.

I always feel bad throwing socks out, as well as shop rags, but not socks used as shop rags.......

Right on!

I use the socks for oil checks and funnel soppers.
I use pieces of old sweat pants for polishing.

Handz Secret #1: Want that fresh waxed look after you wash your car? while the car is still wet, Take some Quick detail spray and mist the car while you dry. This helps move the water off the car while giving a fresh waxed look!!!

This will impress all your buddies!!!
