A social media star has revealed an unexpected method for keeping your wing mirror clear in a video posted online.<\/p>\n
In a TikTok posted by Mister Ryhan, that has since been viewed nearly 40 million times, the creator demonstrates how toothpaste can be used to keep wing mirrors clear of rain drops.<\/p>\n
The video starts with Mister Ryhan thoroughly cleaning his wing mirror with spray and a cloth removing any dirt or dust.<\/p>\n
Then the magic happens – a small amount of toothpaste is applied to the clean mirror and spread across the wing mirror using his finger.<\/p>\n
The toothpaste is then rubbed into the mirror using a cloth, covering the whole of the wing mirror\u2019s surface.<\/p>\n
