Glass holds an important function in the car. Unfortunately, the glass often escaped the attention of car owners to take care of him. Many car owners are more concerned with body appearance or interior. Windshield, if less care, its surface will be filled with dust, and if allowed to accumulate will crystallize. This condition is exacerbated by another car exhaust pollutants which incidentally contain oil, thus speeding up the process of the glass becomes opaque.
This condition makes exposure to rain water on the glass surface of indirect sliding down, because the dirt has formed a network that is able to hold water. Although the wiper is turned on, will not be able to get rid of these dots. The impact was light coming from the front will glow blinding, so that we can not carefully looked forward to watching the road.
On the basis of thought above, clean the glass becomes a very important part in vehicle maintenance. To help you take care of the glass, we provide the following practical steps.
Choosing a Glass Cleaner
There are many cleaners that can be used, ranging cleaners containing ammonia to the formula deterrent patches, some even using only water. Whatever type of cleanser used, the same principle, namely cleaning, drying, and polishing. But the ideal, look for cleansers that contain citric acid and alcohol.
Many practitioners who use the car salon clean water just to clean the glass, and dried using newsprint. They chose to use paper because it was such as tissue paper or cotton cloth, the paper did not leave the remnants of yarn / paper in the glass. Newsprint You can also dip them in lemon water.
Alleviating Sand and Dust
Glass is made from a mixture of silica and aluminum, so that the greatest enemy is sand, because sand is also composed of silica and prevent aluminium.Untuk etched glass, clean the rubber buffer list as often as possible on the glass door. If the thick dust covered glass, do not ever turn on washer. Water is mixed with the dust will be mud, thus potentially making subtle etched glass. Instead, use a feather duster (feather) to repel dust. You can also use a soft microfiber cloth like silk. Lap is able to attract dust, stains, residual oil, and salt like a magnet. However, you should use a feather duster first.
For heated mirrors (anti-dew) and the anti-glare rearview mirror, use a shampoo that contains no detergent cleaners and acids. Therefore, these types of shampoo can make the glass becomes yellowish. If you have this, the ability to dispel the dew and glare rearview mirror will decline. As for how to prevent dust from sticking in the rearview mirror is by rubbing wax (car polish paste) in the field of convex mirror. However, do not do it on the windshield, side, or back because there are differences in materials and construction in each glass.
Rawat Match Season
Adjust the glass treatment with the seasons, as in every season there are “enemies” are different. In summer, dust and exhaust fumes accelerate the glass becomes opaque. The temperature of the heat also makes the rubber brittle wipers. The solution, in the summer, avoid adding shampoo glass cleaner on the windshield wiper reservoir, because the foam shampoo that will potentially cause the crust dries quickly when washer is turned on. Whereas in the rainy season, the main enemy is water spots glass. In this season, you may add the liquid shampoo into the windshield wiper reservoir. But, remember, activate washer after rain washed the glass, not vice versa.
Cleaning Patches
Glass can be contaminated by rain water spots because water contains calcium, metal, and other minerals from the river, lake, or ocean. These patches if sticking around long enough, it would be difficult to clean with glass cleaner or water. If patches of water is not too obvious, then simply mix the vinegar with a ratio of 2:1 with water. As for the tough spots, use vinegar alone. The use of vinegar will not damage the car, because the acid is classified as very soft. If water spots are allowed up to two weeks, then it can damage your windshield.
Cleaning the Film Glass
Glass coating films are usually made of plastic mylar. Mylar is very susceptible to scratches and ammonia. To clean the glass-coated films, use a glass cleaner with a soft water mixture. Avoid cleaners that contain soda and shampoo. If the window film doused carbonated liquid, the heat retaining features consisting of multiple layers will be peeled off. To be safe, wash with clean water then wipe with a chamois.
