Drivers are just realizing a kitchen ingredient can be used to clean your car, it will smell like a ‘tropical getaway’

A WOMAN has revealed a hack that she discovered to be an affordable way to detail a car using just a common kitchen item.

The North Carolina-based TikTok creator posted a video simply using coconut oil and a washcloth to make her car look and smell good.

included hashtags in the caption of the clip like #cartips, #detailing, #cleancar, #coconut, #smellssogood and #cleaningtiktok.

In the TikTok, Veronica (@browsbyveronical) dips a cloth into a small tub of coconut oil and rubs it on her automobile's interior surfaces.

She said: "Guys, this is the best thing to use to detail your vehicle."

The creator stressed: "All you need is a cloth and some coconut oil."

"It cleans, conditions and protects your interior," she stated.

"The best part is, your vehicle will smell like a tropical getaway."

Veronica explained her technique of using the kitchen staple.

"I pretty much wipe down the entire inside of my vehicle after a thorough cleaning," she explained.

"If you get it a little thick in some areas, just take a dry part of your cloth and buff it out."

At the end of the video, she showed the difference between a door that she'd shined with the oil and one she hadn't done yet from the inside of her car.

The clip has been viewed over 100,000 times.

With a laughing emoji, a user commented: "And me spending money on swissvax products."

Veronica replied: "I know, right?!"

"I agree," someone added.

"Works well and conditions leather back to new."

"It sure does," the TikTok creator responded.

"You can use it on all kinds of leather items...not just cars."
