Rinse it off first, and then take it to a drive through wash.  The pressure wash should get it all off.  Good Luck.

There's a product called Goo-Gone that is great for removing stickers.  Check out a hardware store.  Try it!

Although nothing beats a professional car detailer with an elec-tric buffer, following these steps every few months will protect your car's paint finish and keep it looking great. \n \n   \n \n  \n  Steps:  \n1.   Wash and dry your car thoroughly before waxing. (Image 1)  \n  \n2.   Know that some waxes contain abrasives, which can damage clear-coat and lacquer finishes, and may be harmful to dark-colored paint jobs. When in doubt, use a nonabrasive wax.  \n  \n3.   Park the car in a cool, shady spot. If you don't have access to a shady spot, wax one section at a time so the sun doesn't bake the wax onto your car. Avoid waxing if it's very hot or very cold outside.  \n  \n4.   Dip a damp wax sponge into the car wax, getting a half-dollar-size clump on your sponge. (Image 2)  \n  \n5.   Rub the wax onto the car using small circles. Avoid getting wax into seams and jambs'if this happens, use an old, very soft toothbrush to remove it. (Image 3)  \n  \n6.   Working on a section at a time, cover your car's entire surface, remembering the path you took. By the time you have finished, the wax will be ready to remove. (Image 4)  \n  \n7.   Using soft terry cloth towels (or, better yet, cloth diapers), wipe off the wax in the same order in which it was applied. (Image 5)  \n  \n8.   Shake out the towel or cloth as you work, in order to avoid wax buildup and streaking.  \n  \n9.   Leaning as close to the surface of your car as you can, look down the sides and across the front, back and roof to spot any residual wax.  \n  \n10.   Use a cloth diaper or a cheesecloth to polish the car's entire surface. (Image 6)  \n  \n11.   Wash your used towels, cloths and pads with liquid fabric softener to keep them from scratching your car the next time you use them.

I would check for a ground wire attached with a bolt/nut underneath the dashboard area before taking anything apart. Make sure it is tight. Most of the cars I have worked on involving electrical has been something that simple.

I didn't check where you're from (I'd assume the UK, given the terms), but in the US there's a product called RainX that you can put on the windshield that makes the rain bead up & run off. Their website is www.rainx.com  - looking at their contact info, it appears they're owned by Shell oil, so I would assume that it's available there as well.

Call the city to have them pick it up. You could take it to a dump. Good luck.

Sand.  Hahaha...no really, send them baby wipes.  There is so much dust and sand there that they are used for everything.

You could lap the surfaces on a piece of glass with some wet/dry sandpaper.  I do this to flatten the bottom of handplanes, and start with 150 grit and go on up in grits.  You can get to a mirror finish if you are patient and go 150, 220, 320, 600, 800, 1500, etc.  The auto parts store might have the very highest grits for auto body finishing if you can't find them in general hardware.\n\nI would flatten first then center drill for the threaded hole.  You might throw things a little out of square if you drill first, then flatten.

heat it up, the sulphur will burn off.\n\nor mix with water and filter out the sand, then evaporate the water to get the sulphur.

1) Find the spare tire, jack and tire iron.\n\n2) Make sure that the car is in gear (or in "park" if the car is an automatic) and the emergency brake is set. The car should be parked on a flat piece of pavement.\n \n3) Remove the flat tire:\n- use the tire iron (the L-shaped bar that fits over the wheel lugs) to loosen each wheel lug. Once you have accomplished this, move the jack underneath the car. \n- raise the car with the jack until the flat tire is completely raised off the ground. Once this is done, remove the wheel lugs completely.\n\n4) Install the spare:\n-  position the spare tire over the wheel studs. This is the most physically challenging part of the whole process. You'll have to hold up the tire and try to line up the holes in the wheel with the protruding wheel studs located on the brake hub.\n- after you have the spare tire hanging on the wheel studs, screw each of the wheel lugs back on.\n-  once the spare tire is on, carefully lower the jack. Pull the jack away from the vehicle.\n- the final step is to tighten down the lugs completely.\n\n5) Put the flat tire in the space where the spare tire was and put the jack and tire iron back in the car.\n\ncheck out the detail and "How To" video at source.

A crank works with leverage, in general, like a can opener. For the rest of the question, find yourself an electric motor, put some kind of handle on it, get some wire, and a flashlight bulb and hook it all up some how, forget the sand.

(m)\n\nsprinkle bicarbonate of soda in your car leave for a few hours and vacuum. the bicarbonate of soda will absorb the bad odder, this is also very good for trainers, fridges etc.

Place the sand on a piece of paper, then place the magnet underneath, then the tilt the paper, that way the iron will stay where it is but won't just stick to the magnet!!
