Drivers are just realizing there's an $8 Walgreens product to fix all sticky buttons in your car and save $1000s
A CAR expert has explained how drivers can use a simple household product to quickly clean the sticky buttons in their ride.
Anyone who's eaten a drive-thru meal in their vehicle knows how easy it is to get the buttons dirty.
But in a video posted to YouTube that's been viewed more than 100,000 times, one driver showed how he used a pack of makeup removal wipes to get the gunk off the buttons in his Jaguar.
"This will work on pretty much any car," the YouTuber said.
"This is the safest and easiest way."
All drivers need to buy for this tip is a pack of makeup remover wipes from the brand Neutrogena, which are available at chains like Walmart and Walgreens.
"It was about $7 or $8," the YouTuber said.
"It's a heck of a lot cheaper than buying new buttons."
He got the idea from another YouTuber named Dallas Davenport, who also drives a Jaguar.
She went to dealership, where a mechanic quoted her $5,000 for new buttons.
The cleaning process with the wipes is simple.
"Go over it with a good amount of the wipe," the YouTuber said.
"Start going in one direction or back and forth. Be vigorous, but also be gentle."
It might take a little bit of elbow grease, but the task should be done within a matter of minutes if not seconds.
"This button is actually no longer sticky at all," the YouTuber said.
"It looks brand new."
Although he added that there are other products drivers can use to clean sticky buttons, many of them are so strong they wipe the labels off each button.
That isn't a problem with the makeup wipe trick.
Commenters below the YouTube video were impressed with the hack.
"You were 100percent correct!" one said.
"Worked extremely well for my Maserati.
"Took a while to go through the interior, but definitely worth the effort."
