The car windscreen is one of the most sensitive parts of a vehicle, as it is what allows optimal visibility for the driver. For this reason, it is very important to always keep it in top condition, free of dirt or without damage or scratches. In order to further improve visibility, at Ralarsa we recommend the rain-repellent treatment, which will allow you to see better on rainy days and help prevent insects from sticking so easily.
The rain-repellent treatment consists of a liquid that is sprayed onto the glass, usually the front one but it can be applied to any of them. Thanks to this treatment, when it rains the water droplets glide over the glass, thus improving visibility and reducing the need to use the windscreen wipers. If you want to know more and are interested in finding out the rain-repellent treatment price, we explain it to you throughout the article.
Rain-repellent treatment: what is it?
Driving on rainy days can increase the risk of unforeseen events and, for this reason, different measures must be adopted, such as reducing speed or knowing where the windscreen wipers and heater are to defog the glass. Even by adopting these measures, visibility can still be reduced. Thus, the rain-repellent treatment can be of great help.
It is a liquid composed of different acrylic resins and transparent polymers, among other elements. It is used as a spray and applied to the vehicle’s windscreen, so that when it rains the drops slide off, allowing better visibility and, in the case of very light rain, you will hardly need the windscreen wipers. Of course, this will only be the case if the windscreen does not have a car glass chip or other damage that impairs correct vision.
On the other hand, it should be noted that the treatment applied will not replace the windscreen washer fluid as their functions are independent, although together they complement each other to improve visibility. Likewise, it will be effective with the vehicle in motion at a minimum speed of 80 km/h and lasts approximately 12 months or a mileage of 15,000 km. Once applied, the optical effect produced is similar to seeing small drops of mercury slide across.
One of the lesser-known aspects of this treatment is that it also works as a protective layer, not only to prevent the accumulation of water but also to prevent a build-up of dirt. On many occasions, people do not trust this type of treatment due to the bad reputation caused by low-quality products. However, with Ralarsa treatments, as specialists in windscreen replacement, you will notice the results from day one.
Advantages of the rain-repellent treatment
As we mentioned earlier, this treatment does not act as a substitute for the windscreen wipers, but as a complement. If only the common wipers are used, rain will leave streaks in the form of water marks that make visibility difficult. However, thanks to the application of this treatment, this will not happen, and it will also prevent small scratches.
Likewise, if you live in cold areas with low temperatures during the winter, it is important to know that the treatment will make it easier to clean the glass in the event of ice forming, as well as prevent cracks in the glass that could lead to a large car glass chip. Even in places with a lot of sun, the rain-repellent treatment is beneficial as it helps to prevent unpleasant sun marks.
Over the years, it is common for cars to develop scratches or scuffs, without becoming a major car glass chip. If the treatment is applied annually, this will not happen and, in addition, it can be applied over these marks to ensure small scratches do not cause greater damage.
