Aside from regular trips to the mechanic for servicing (per manufacturer recommendations), there is a very important and inexpensive way YOU can contribute to car and personal safety while driving; keeping your car windows and mirrors clean, inside and out!

There is a myriad of driving conditions affecting safety that are impacted by dirty windows and mirrors. Dirty windows can cause a glare diffusion of light, especially at sunrise/low sun or at night that can blind you when driving. In the evening or during unfavorable weather conditions when car headlights are on, dirty windows and mirrors can contribute to misinterpreting lane changes, location of other cars or pedestrians in your proximity.

If you are a smoker, tobacco and chemicals in the smoke forms a film that produces a “fogging” that can severely reduce visibility. So can gas and exhaust fumes. Plastic parts found in car interiors emit chemicals that likewise produce vapors that cling to windshields producing a similar effect.
