Cleanliness is synonymous with safety
At Ralarsa, we are sure: without good cleaning maintenance of your car’s glass, safety on the road is reduced. Therefore, to take care of you and other drivers, we suggest reducing risks on the road through regular cleaning of the glass.
The windscreen is the direct receiver of 90% of the information we perceive while driving. Thus, it is urgent to repair a windscreen chip in the event of damage, but it is also essential to keep it spotless in terms of cleanliness, as with the rest of the car windows.
In this, rain‑repellent treatment will help, since in case of rain, the droplets will be lighter and will not remain stuck to the glass. But the wiper blades and washer fluid level should also be checked, as they are responsible for removing water, dust, insects, and other debris from the car’s front glass.
Extreme temperatures, both in winter due to cold and in summer due to heat, generate thermal changes that, in turn, produce stress on the glass. This can cause a small impact to turn into a crack that makes windscreen chip repair impossible, and at any moment it could end up splitting. That is why it is important to go as soon as possible to your Ralarsa automobile glass workshop.
How to achieve spotless car windows?
Surely on more than one occasion you have tried to clean your vehicle’s glass and the results were not as satisfactory as you wanted. Keep reading and take note of the tips we list below to obtain excellent visibility.
The first thing you should do is remove any dust or dirt on the glass using a hose or a pressure washer. This will prepare the glass for the subsequent treatment and, in addition, avoid forming a paste when applying the liquid cleaning product.
The type of tool and instruments you use to clean the glass will also greatly affect the result. That is why it is advisable to use a cloth specifically designed for these surfaces, made from a material that does not leave residue. Microfibre cloths are usually the most suitable.
Next, you should apply the product and wait, paying special attention to the dirtiest areas or the most marked stains. To remove them completely, you may have to let the product act for a few minutes.
After this time, remove the product residue, gently rubbing with a clean, dry cloth over the glass and mirrors. Take care not to leave any foam residue. If the window is laminated, extra caution must be taken, and no tool should be used that could damage the layers.
To finish the cleaning process, polishing is the key detail to achieve an enviable look on every window of your car. Moreover, visibility will improve even more if you combine it with a rain‑repellent treatment and also opt for headlight polishing.
