I just got a manual mazda 626 from my mom who has had it for 7 or so years not and she didnt take the best care of it. like it drives fine but its messy. right now i am in the process of cleaning it and i will be getting a paint job soon.
any random tips?
i want to keep my car "healthy" persay and i know she hasnt changed the oil in god knows how long so i will be doing that tomorrow but is there anything else i can do that doesnt involve me looking under the hood and messing with stuff with a wrench? i'm a 17 year old girl. the most i can do is add liquids to the gass tank and clean up stuff and follow directions while driving. i'm totally clueless with cars. I just know how to drive them. i can ask my dad to do stuff sometimes but hes kidna lazy.

i heard if someone brushes your car you can get their paint off your car by rubbing it out with toothpaste. i want little tips like that. i dont have a big wallet so i cant buy all the fancy soaps and engine cleaners and stuff people get. any affordable product that is easy to use just to improve my car's appearence and "health?"
 
Add some Lucas Pure Synthetic oil stabilizer in with the oil change. It will take 20% Lucas and 80% oil. This synthetic is the most highly refined additive on the planet. Longhaul truckers and Top Fuel dragsters use it for it's amazing antifriction qualities. $20 bucks a bottle but worth it if you want to keep your engine tip top for as long as possible. I use it in my air cooled 600cc dirt bike...it drops the operating temperature by 25%!!!!! that's huge!!! Works with synthetic and non-sythetic oils ")
