Summer – wipers neat!
Car wipers and summer… don’t wipers rest during this period!? Although we are currently struggling with drought and wipers do not have to work, the summer months are not an easy time for them. The rubber surface of the wipers ages and becomes susceptible to damage, especially under the influence of high temperatures. How can we take care of the durability of our wipers? Read on to find out more!
Remove your wipers for the summer when planning to travel by other means of transport!
If you plan to leave your car for a few weeks, it’s a good idea to remove the wiper blades. It’s a good idea to do this safely when flying or travelling by train, or even when switching to a bike or motorbike. It’s a good idea to put a cloth under the wiper blade to avoid scratching the glass.
Remember to clean your wipers and windshield before every summer trip!
Before every trip, it is worth cleaning the wipers and the car window. We often focus on cleaning the window, forgetting about the blades. However, dirt on the window acts like pumice on the rubber edge of the wipers, which means that their efficiency is limited. In addition, such dirt can also scratch the glass. That is why we recommend cleaning the wiper blades with a damp cloth or sponge with a little washing-up liquid. You can find the necessary accessories here.
Do not activate the wipers on a dry windshield!
Never turn on your wipers on a dry windshield! The coefficient of friction on a dry surface is 25 times greater than on a wet one. By turning on your wipers on a dry windshield, you risk scratching the glass and damaging the wiper itself. Also remember to regularly use a windshield washer fluid, which will provide adequate moisture and protection for the wipers.
The right windshield washer fluid for summer is essential!
Choose a high-quality windshield washer fluid! Cheap products often contain harmful substances that can damage plastic and rubber elements. The right fluid not only effectively cleans the glass from small dirt, but also provides adequate moisture to the wiper blades, protecting them from damage.
Replace your wipers when they begin to exhibit certain symptoms.
Remember to replace your wipers when they start to show certain symptoms. If your wipers start to make unusual sounds, leave streaks on the glass or jump across its surface, this is a signal that they need to be replaced. Over time and exposure to various weather conditions, the rubber surface hardens, losing its elasticity. In this case, it is necessary to replace your wipers. Buy in our official ALLEGRO store.
In summary, if you want to have a peaceful summer and a successful vacation, do these few treatments and enjoy the long life of your car wipers. In this way, you will ensure a safe journey for yourself and your loved ones. So remember these simple tips and enjoy well-functioning wipers for a long time!
