Planning to go on a trip at night?

Don't rush to get behind the wheel! First, wipe the windshield.

Perform this procedure even if the glass surface seemed perfectly clean to you during the daytime.

The fact is that at night, stains and spots on the glass that were not “appearing” during the day make themselves known.

A dangerous situation arises: a driver who was confident in the absolute cleanliness of the windshield begins to encounter glare during a night drive.

Light spots appear due to the headlights of cars driving in the oncoming lane.

Of course, glare greatly disturbs the driver. The risk of getting into a dangerous traffic situation becomes maximum.

To avoid problems, you need to wipe the glass beforehand.

How to Clean a Windshield Properly

A special glass and mirror cleaner (or even plain water) and crumpled newspaper will help remove all stains, streaks and fingerprints from the surface.

Wipe the surface dry with a paper material.

If you don't have newspaper, you can use a microfiber cloth.

The exterior mirrors should be cleaned in a similar manner.
