De-fog the bathroom mirror. Use a small amount of car paste wax on the mirror, let it dry and then buff it off with a lint-free cloth. The next time you take a hot shower, the mirror won't steam up. Rub a little wax on the faucets and spigots to prevent water spots.

Fix a skipping CD. Place the CD on a cloth on a flat surface, damaged side up. Hold the disc in place and wipe car wax into the scuffed area with a soft cloth. When the wax dries, buff it with short strokes along the scratch. When you can no longer see the scratch, wash the disc with water, dry it and play it.
