Water repellent coating

There are several types of water repellent coating that are available on the market. The coating helps the wiper to work smoothly when there is water or dirt on the windshield. If the surface is smooth enough that the wiper can glide effortlessly, nothing will scratch or stick to it for a long time. This helps in enhancing the visibility from the windshield under heavy rain. Some coating helps to cancel the glare coming from the other side of the car.

Replace wipers

As a general rule, you should replace the wipers every six months. The wiper is crucial for the windshield, as it removes the water from the board. If the wiper is older than 6 months or gets damaged, it can put a scratch mark over the windshield wiper and make it all foggy. This is very harmful to any windshield, increasing the risk of accident due to unclear vision.

Use proper cleaning products

Don’t use any soap or detergent to clean the windshield. This can harm the glass and make it foggy over time. There is a certain chemical that can do more harm than good. Use proper cleaning material that will make it clean.

Park under a shade

Windshield materials are steady enough to be protected from the sun and other harsh weather conditions. But it is always nice to park your car under shade to protect it. Some objects might fall off from the distance to the windshield and make scratches.
