With the onset of spring rains on the horizon, your auto glass needs to perform well during surprise storms and extreme conditions. Rain-proofing your windshield will create a hydrophobic layer on your glass that keeps raindrops from impairing your view. A water-resistant windshield will give you peace-of-mind during bad weather and additional benefits you may not realize that are listed below.

What are the Advantages of Rain-Proofing Auto Glass

1. A Cleaner Windshield

Dirty windshields will make anyone’s drive less enjoyable. Cleaning auto glass with regular window cleaners often leaves visible streaks that can reduce visibility when driving.  Rain repellent windshield treatments offer clearer views by eliminating haze and streaks. The chemical components work double-duty to clean your auto glass while coating it with a water-repellent layer.

2. Safer Driving

Driving in heavy rains is challenging, and smears, streaks, and scratches will leave you with a distorted view that can lead to severe accidents. Ease the tension of commuting during downpours with rain-repellent glass cleaners that force rainwater to form tiny droplets that won’t smudge your windshield and obstruct your view. You’ll feel safer and more confident venturing out into the storm with consistent visibility.

3. Protective Armor

Your windshield is under constant stress from tiny dirt particles scratching your windshield once they’re lodged in your wiper blades. Windshields treated with rain repellent increase wiper blade effectiveness by allowing them to smoothly glide across the glass, increasing the lifespan of your auto glass and wiper blades. You can increase protection by investing in wipers coated with a rain repellent solution, as well. The combination of a rain-resistant windshield and wiper blades will significantly reduce damage, keeping particles off of the glass that can scratch it.
