Polite subjunctive with commands

Acceptable?

If you like, make the dinner.
Si quisieras, prepara la cena.

If you could, wash the car.
Si pudieras, limpia el coche.

If you should see him, give him this money.
Si debieras velo, da(r?)le este dinero.

The sentences are OK and the translation is accurate, but usually I use
¿Puedes/Podrías preparar la cena?
Si puedes, limpia el coche/ ¿Puedes limpiar el coche?
Si le ves, dale este dinero /Si debes verlo, dale este dinero

Saludos :D
