I cooked a pot of beans to make our supper meal, we had family over & instead of using corn starch in a little cup mixed with water in order to thicken the sauce, I was being rushed, & was nervous & used baking soda instead!!! 🤦‍♀️🙊 Needless to say; it was terrible!! 🤢 We had to end up eating out!!🙈

    😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Man am a seasoned detailer and if want keep your headlights looking new. Keep some liquid paste wax on your headlights at least once a month. Old lights try some rubbing compound and after that some finishing Polish and a coat of wax afterwards. Or you can try some fliz metal polish, or mother's chrome polish. Stop listening to these none professionals. I've been detailing car's since i was 15 year's old. Now am 52 years old and these guys are just coming from behind the curtains.

    Using MEGUIAR'S 10 oz. PlastX Clear Plastic Cleaner and Polish is way far better than looking for a orange and baking soda and a tooth brush and a sheet of plastic. MEGUIAR'S is only $7.99 plus tax. It only takes 2 minutes to add and wipe off and you don't even get any on your bumper like using everything in this video. Plus the bottle will last you for over 25 applications on each lens plus the rear lenes.
    Oh yeah forgot the WD 40 can leave a film on the lens and the orange well you can eat it instead of wasting it.
