The miracles of olive oil – go green –

The miracles of olive oil – go green –
Car detailing tips:
1 spoon of olive oil mixed in a 500ml (1 pt or .9 fl oz) water spray bottle. Use this to clean your leather seats, and interior. It restores leather natural oils and gives it a shiny clean look. Use in exterior plastic parts also.
Fragrance your car and cool it down: add 12 drops of your favorite concentrated scented oil to the mix, spray in the car and turn your AC on, it will cool down your car much faster and add a pleasant fragrance.
Hard to remove spots: mix a spoon full of rubbing alcohol to the mix to remove hard stains or grease from your seats or other interior parts.
Polish your tires and wheels: add another spoon of olive oil to the alcohol mix and spray on your wheel and tires. Wipe gently to remove break grim and other residues.
Polish your car: don’t want to buy expensive wax, use the olive oil and water mix after washing your car, use elbow grease to rub it in – gently - with microfiber cloth.
Too much olive oil will attract dust, too little and you lose the effect so adjust the mix to your application and climate. Use alcohol at your discretion – not responsible for damage -.

"Use alcohol at your discretion – not responsible for damage"

I find drinking it while polishing my car works best...
