A couple of years ago after reading the book, It Starts With Food, I went on this health kick and started eating Paleo.
One of the first things I read about was about what was contained in most commercial cooking sprays. A number of chemical components just didn’t sit well with me, so I immediately went to my cupboard and threw it away.
Later I discovered that cooking spray has other non-consumable uses that work fantastic. I keep a can now in my basement with my tools.

12 Unbelievable Uses for Cooking Spray
1. Keep Car Wheels Clean
We’ve all seen that fine black dust that collects around the wheels of a car. That’s brake dust, and it’s produced every time you apply the brakes in your car. It can be super hard to clean off, but not anymore. After you wash your car, spray the wheels with a light coating of cooking spray. The brake dust will wipe right off.
2. De-Bug The Car
Don’t you just hate how bugs get stuck to the grate of your car? After you’ve finished cleaning the wheels, clean your grate and then spritz a light coating of cooking spray on the grate. Next time you clean your car, you’ll be able just to wipe them away.
