Taking Care of Your Windscreen – No-scratch Tips

Windscreens are tasked with the duty of saving you from flying out of the car in the event of an accident. Moreover, they also help you view the road in front of you while keeping the natural elements at bay. Any scratches on the windshield can cause a distraction to you and also limit your visibility, especially when driving at night. Thus, keeping your windscreen scratch-free is an important task that you shouldn’t overlook. The following are some tips that can help you take care of your car’s windshield.

Care Windscreen

Don’t Park Your Car in Direct Sunlight

Sunlight is particularly harmful for your windscreen. The UV rays can affect the structural integrity of the glass and also damage the tint on the car windows too. So, if you have to park the car and leave it there for a while then it is best that you do so inside a garage. If that isn’t possible then at least ensure that the car is parked under a tree or in shade and isn’t exposed to direct sunlight for too long.

Clean Your Windshield Regularly

The windshield accumulates a lot of dust and dirt every time you go for a long drive. This dust can limit your visibility and make it hard for you to see the road clearly. Moreover, if left uncleaned, the dust particles can react with the other chemicals in the air to cause abrasions and scratches on the windscreen’s surface. Therefore, regular cleaning of the windshield is a must. Just make sure that you don’t perform the cleaning with hot water or an ammonia-based cleaner.

Get Small Chips Repaired Quickly

Small rocks and pebbles often kick up and strike the windscreen if you are driving off-road. They can create small chips in the windshield’s surface and give it a bad look. Apart from ruining the car’s appearance, these chips can widen over time and form long cracks if you don’t get them repaired quickly. Repairing smaller chips don’t cost that much and can stop them from worsening any further. However, make sure the windscreen repair is done by an experienced service provider like Novus.

Pests Slow Down Vehicle Shipment Processing

Pests can be a danger to both people and crops. For instance, stink bugs are a pest that can cause allergies to people and can be quite damaging to crops like wheat. These bugs aren’t found in Australia and New Zealand but they can be brought into the country via shipments. Stink bugs can easily hide in cars that are being shipped to Australia from the US. This is why it has been deemed compulsory for all vehicle shipments to be treated for pests like stink bugs before they are sent out to sea. While it is a good initiative, it has slowed down vehicle shipment processing.
