Windshield Health

IMPROVE VISIBILITY, SAFETY WITH CLEAR VIEWS

The health of your vehicle’s windshield is crucial to safe driving. A damaged or dirty windshield can greatly inhibit your ability to visualize and react to road conditions. Clean windows can also make a vehicle’s overall appearance shine. The best way to find out which cleaning agent works the best for you is to try several until you’re satisfied with the results.

simple steps to ensure clear vision

There are many windshield-enhancing options on the market today. It’s in your best interest to take advantage of this product diversity. Some of the most popular additives are water-repelling agents that can enhance your vision on rainy days. If you’re skeptical about these additives, invest in a good set of wiper blades. Your local auto parts dealer can get you the right wipers for your vehicle. One small ding on a windshield can turn into a big problem if it is not corrected as soon as possible. Consider additives that promise to protect against windshield dings that may be caused by loose rocks on the highway. If you’re planning on giving your entire vehicle a good cleaning, you should always wash your windows last. Otherwise, soap residue is likely to end up on your windows after washing your vehicle’s body, leaving unsightly marks that can impact your sight lines while driving.

choosing the right materials

The trick to finding the right glass-cleaning material that works the best for you is to experiment. Look for bottles that boast “streak free.” If you have tinted windows, opt for ammonia-free cleaners. Over time, ammonia can cause the tint film to change colors and become weak. Use microfiber towels to wipe down your glass. Set aside a few towels that you will use strictly for windows. Using these towels to dry off a dirty car will leave the chemicals you used on your vehicle on the glass, undoing your hard work in the end.
