The combination of rainwater and glass can be dangerous when driving a car. During the rainy season, the driver of the vehicle needs to take some precautions, such as reducing speed, increasing the distance from the car in front and having full visibility even with the rain falling directly on the glass. So how to avoid this problem of low visibility on rainy days?
Low visibility, how to avoid this problem
On very heavy rainy days, or even entire seasons of rain, as happens mainly in summer, the windshield wiper blades will not be able to do the job. Even if the blade rubbers are new, depending on the volume of rain, it may be difficult for you to see a few meters beyond the front of your car.
A very common process that happens on rainy days is that the glass starts to fog up. If the problem is internal, inside the car, the solution that almost everyone already knows is to turn on the air conditioning and defogger, or open the windows a little. This stage is not always viable, especially with very heavy rain.
Driving safety
An unsafe habit, but one that many drivers practice, is carrying a cloth or flannel to defog the window from the inside. This act, almost commonplace for some, can lead to accidents, as what most drivers do is wipe the inside of the window while driving at the same time. This on a day of intense rain can bring a lot of risks. So, if it is really necessary to do this, find a safe place to park, such as a gas station, roadside and only then use a dry cloth to try to defog the glass.
Glass waterproofer
To help the driver drive safely, there is currently a product on the market called glass waterproofing. Even though glass is a smooth surface to our eyes, it still has a certain roughness that holds water against the windshield.

Among the 11 products in the line, a specific one is aimed at increasing safety and visibility on rainy days, the STK WaterShield®.

Application
The application is super simple. Prepare the application site by washing and drying it before applying the product.
Spray directly on the desired point, keeping a distance of approximately 15cm. Take a piece of paper or soft cloth that is damp and spread it in circular movements on the windshield.
After this procedure, wait about two minutes, then reapply the product and this time, using a clean, dry paper, polish or remove excess product.
By doing this, in a matter of 2 or 3 minutes the windshield is ready to repel water. After application, it is possible to notice a big difference in the dispersion speed of the water droplets.
