During the rainy season, how to use car wipers effectively?
Wipers are an important part of a car, directly affecting safety during vehicle operation.
After a period of time, depending on the conditions of use, the car owner needs to replace the rubber wiper blade, because this is a part that is easily worn and affected by the weather.
Using the wiper blades frequently or parking in the sun can cause the rubber blades to wear out, the rubber to harden, causing the wipers to make noise or not wipe the water off the glass, affecting the driver's vision.

Each type of vehicle will have a different wiper blade size, usually between 406 - 533 mm. Car owners need to choose the standard size for the wiper to avoid the wiper not working smoothly or not firmly.
The wiper blade material is usually rubber or silicone, depending on the manufacturer's brand, the price of a pair of wiper blades can range from 120,000 - 650,000 VND/pair.
Choosing a good quality wiper blade will help wipe the water cleaner, and at the same time limit scratches on the windshield. A scratched windshield can cause glare to the driver when the headlights of oncoming vehicles shine on it.

It is necessary to choose the right size wiper blade for your car. |
In addition to replacing the wiper blades on time, you should also add windshield washer fluid regularly. Windshield washer fluid will help clean the windshield more effectively, especially when the car is often moving or parked in dusty areas.
It is best to buy ready-made glass cleaners in bottles. You can also mix your own glass cleaner from regular dishwashing liquid, but the cleaning ability is not as good as specialized glass cleaners.
