Drivers have been urged to never use beer and baking soda to clean their car despite claims from social media influencers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Videos have shown supposed specialists using beer to get rid of oil stains despite the potential risks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to experts at Quotezone, this is false with the combination likely to cause further issues.<\/p>\n

The comparison site suggested soda was an \u201cabrasive\u201d solution meaning motorists could actually lead to more damage.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The group said: \u201cSocial media users claim the combination of beer and soda is a great solution for getting rid of oil stains.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, beer is not an effective cleaner, and the abrasive nature of baking soda poses a risk of causing additional damage to the vehicle.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe combination could also leave behind a sticky residue, adding to the cleaning troubles rather than alleviating them.\u201d<\/p>\n

YouTube channel \u2018Jobscartips\u2019\u00a0showed an owner pouring beer over his front grille and headlights.<\/p>\n

However, this was preceded by a big red cross suggesting road users should not be following the method.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Seconds later, they showed off the correct method of simply applying soap and water to leave a car looking spotless in seconds.<\/p>\n

Greg Wilson, CEO of Quotezone suggested that following social media videos could dramatically backfire.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Instead, he urged road users to use the correct cleaning methods at all times to avoid \u201cadditional damages\u201d<\/p>\n

He commented: \u201cWhile the viral car cleaning hacks may appear tempting for quick fixes, some of them can lead to unwanted consequences, causing lasting damage to your vehicle.<\/p>\n
