With the arrival of winter, frosts begin — and that means ice will have consequences for our car. Believe it or not, winter cold can also affect the windshield and, if you’re not careful, it could also impact your driving experience. We don’t want driving to be interrupted again like it was during last year’s frosts, so it’s important to be prepared.
At Ralarsa, car glass workshop, we tell you what to keep in mind over the coming months so that your driving on the road is not affected and you can travel safely. At Ralarsa, we also offer services such as window tinting or a car rain‑repellent treatment. Keep reading to find out more details and visit our website to learn the window tinting price.
Rain‑repellent treatment to repel frost
One of the best options for dealing with bad weather is the rain‑repellent treatment. During winter, ice tends to accumulate on the windshield. The best solution to this problem is to prevent it from happening in the first place. That’s why the best thing you can do is go to the nearest car glass workshop and apply a rain‑repellent treatment to your car. Ralarsa has more than 240 workshops throughout Spain where you can go.
There are other alternatives, such as scraping the ice off the windshield. This is part of the routine for many people who remove ice every morning when they have to drive early. However, we do not recommend using home remedies to remove ice, as you could end up damaging the windshield irreversibly. This is why we recommend other ways to deal with ice on the windshield, such as the rain‑repellent treatment.
In addition, applying this treatment can be beneficial for your car since it will extend the life of your windshield and other elements of the vehicle such as the wipers, which will not have to rely on heated windows or heating systems to continue working normally.

Rain‑repellent treatment
The rain‑repellent treatment not only repels frost but is also anti‑dirt, which minimises insect and dust build‑up on the windshield. Thanks to this, you gain greater visibility and safety at the wheel. It’s an effective treatment that can be applied quickly, taking barely 5 minutes. Depending on the temperature and weather conditions, the effective duration of this hydrophobic treatment may vary, but in general, it’s the best solution.
The rain‑repellent car treatment is also known as a hydrophobic treatment. A film is applied to the windshield, although it can also be applied to other areas. This treatment consists of a liquid made of acrylic resins and transparent polymers, which makes water and ice slide off the windshield while driving, giving you greater visibility and safety on the road. It’s true that frosts can cause greater wear to the rain‑repellent layer on the windshield, but in any case, this would only reduce the treatment’s duration by a few days — and the treatment lasts for months.
