Dealing with Extreme Hot Weather: Tips Caring for Your Car Glass
According to the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG), early May 2024 will be dominated by the phenomenon of hot temperatures and sunny conditions. This is related to the seasonal transition period in some parts of Indonesia. The phenomenon of hot weather with very high temperatures can have an impact on your comfort when driving, especially car glass. Here are some tips to help you maintain your car's windshield to keep it safe when facing extreme heat.
- Clean car Glass Regularly
Dust, dirt, and other stains can build up on your windshield over time, especially in the summer when weather conditions are dry. Cleaning the windshield regularly will help maintain the clarity and brightness of the glass and reduce the risk of scratches and damage. - Use the Right Glass Cleaner
Choose a car glass cleaner that is specifically designed for use on glass surfaces. Avoid using general cleaning fluids that contain harsh chemicals, such as ammonia, as they can damage the protective layer of the glass. - Avoid Cleaning Glass in Direct Sunlight
Direct sunlight can cause the cleaner to dry too quickly, leaving stains and streaks on the glass. Try to clean the windshield in the shade or in the morning or evening when the temperature is lower. - Use Microfiber Cloth to Dry
Microfiber cloth is the best choice for drying car glass after cleaning. It won't leave lint or stains like a regular cloth and it absorbs water better, leaving a clean and shiny glass surface. - Protect the Glass from Direct Sun Exposure
Direct exposure to the sun can cause the windshield to overheat, which can damage its protective coating. Use window coverings or park in a shady spot to protect the windshield from direct sunlight.
By following the tips above, you can take good care of your car glass and protect it from damage due to extreme hot weather.
