How to Properly Care for Your Windscreen


The windscreen is one of the most important parts of your car that you have to take care of. A dirty or damaged windscreen can more result in an accident due to poor visibility. Therefore, ensure that you take good care of it.

 How to Take Care of Your Windscreen?


1. Demist it

Driving when it’s raining or cold can cause low visibility due to mist and fog. Demist your windscreen by using the heater or air conditioner to maintain your visibility.

     

      2. Repair chips and cracks

Sometimes due to unavoidable circumstances, the windscreen experiences chips and cracks. Whenever a chip occurs, repair it as soon as possible before the damage becomes worse.

 

3. Clean the inside of your windscreen

Sometimes, people forget to care for their windscreen on the inside. First, use the windscreen cleaning cloth to rub the inside of the glass in circular and vertical motions. Next, use alcohol on a second cloth and repeat the movements. Finally, use a glass cleaner to finalise the cleaning—polish the windscreen after washing it.

 

4. Park your car under the shade

Whenever possible, park your car indoors or under shade. It will prevent your windscreen from sunlight which can sometimes damage it.

 Other ways to properly care for your windscreen:

● Wipe both the interior and exterior of the windscreen at least once a week

● Use mild detergent to clean the glass

● While driving past a delivery truck or lorry, slowing down can help you avoid the flying debris that chip

    your windscreen.

 

Accidents can happen even when you take good care of your windscreen. So, if you find yourself in a position with a chipped or cracked windscreen, call the glass repair experts at Novus. Visit our website or contact us for more information about our services.

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.
