Toothpaste is good for getting scratches out of glass.

Heard that before, Kieran.

Never tried it though.

Car would have a minty scent for some time after the treatment too!

Not bad for cleaning your teeth and freshening breath too!

I'll stick to glass polish for polishing glass, lol.

Didn't even start mine today.

Charged the battery on the son's Ka, since it hasn't been used since July last year!

Started and ran well.

Also bought a solar powered trickle charger, to keep the battery juiced up.

Not sure if I will keep it and do it up, or sell it and be rid of it.

I know what the general consensus on here will be - burn it!
