Hard to see while driving in the rain, especially at night?

4 factors effect your visibility while driving, especially at night in the rain.


1. Windshield Wipers - I recommend Bosch Icon windshield wipers. THey're not the cheapest, but you'll only replace them once a year max. Available at most auto parts stores.


2. Washer Fluid - I recommend Opti-coat No Rinse because it cleans really well, and it also won't leave water spots on your paint when it dries. The 3 most common other fluids used that I do NOT recommend are; tap water, distilled water, and store-bought washer fluid. They all have downsides that I mention in the video.


3. Fixing rock chips ASAP - if you wait to fix a chip/break in your windshield it will spread into a huge crack, forcing you to replace your windshield. Why is this bad? Because you want to keep your factory windshield as long as possible due to quality and the frequency that aftermarket windshield leak due to poor sealing. Getting your rock chips fixed is far cheaper than a new windshield and/or fixing a leak and dealing with soaked carpets.


4. Ceramic Glass Coating - My special glass coating (called Glassparency ) makes the rain bead up into very small droplets which allows you to see much clearer and use your wipers less. This windshield coating is guaranteed for 3 years and will make driving in the rain (especially at night) much safer because of the clarity it provides. You'll love it!


Following these steps are an easy way to maximize your visibility and driving safety.

The paint on a classic car can sometimes be its most valuable asset. This is true whether the paint is factory-original, or brand new fresh from the paint shop. Either way, a ceramic coating on a classic car provides the best protection of your investment.

You still need to wash your car even when it's rainy. Why? Because you're exchanging the old dirt for new dirt on your paint, which has several benefits for you long-term.
