car emergency clean-up kit
1 16-ounce box (454g) baking soda
1 travel-size box baby wipes

There are too many uses to list them all here, but you'll be happy that you have both items on hand.

car window anti-icer
1/4 cup (75g) salt
1 1/2 cups (350ml) warm water
To avoid the burdensome scraping and shoveling associated with winter snowstorms, trY using the same salt strategy that works on roadways when another round of the white stuff is on its way. Dissolve the salt in the warm water, and wipe it on your car windows. The salt will lower the melting point of ice and snow when it hits the car, making the digging out process much easier. Tip: Take a trip through the car wash as soon as the weather improves; prolonged exposure to salt can harm the paint surface and leave your car more vulnerable to rust.

If you car is leaking a little oil, you're most likely to see the evidence on your garage floor or driveway. Fortunately, the cleanup will be easy (and cheap) to tackle with this formula-unlike the leak itself. Mix the baking soda and cornmeal in a large plastic container (the amounts here should be enough for several spills). Sprinkle lightly on a fresh spill to soak it up. Let dry overnight, then sweep or use a shop-vac to get rid of it in the morning.

egged car cleaner
1/4 cup (60ml) vinegar
1 gallon (4 liters) warm water
Most likely a result of a practical joke, an egg-splattered car is not a laughing matter. Eggs can leave a protein-based residue that can badly damage a car's paint surface. To remedy the situation, act as quickly as possible: Mix the vinegar solution to the affected areas liberally, picking off as much of the eggshell as possible (the shell can scratch the paint, so remove all that you can beforehand). Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes and then use a clean, damp rag to wipe the car clean. Repeat, as necessary, until all egg is removed.
