Let's imagine a situation: you soon need to go on a long car trip.

The weather forecast promises heavy precipitation.

But, unfortunately, you don’t have a container with such a useful product as anti-rain at hand.

However, it's okay! As an alternative, you can use a paraffin candle.

How to turn a candle into anti-rain

Crush the candle and place the resulting mass into a deep container.

Combine the shavings with white spirit: one part of the first ingredient to 20 parts of the second.

After thorough mixing, you will get a mass that needs to be applied to the windshield, side windows and outside mirrors. Use cosmetic disks for this.

Next you need to wait about 5 minutes.

During this time, a film should form on the treated surfaces.

It needs to be rubbed onto glass and mirrors using a paper napkin. This action needs to be performed until the treated surface becomes clean.

As a result, water drops will not linger for long on the windshield, side windows and mirrors. The safety level will be high.
