If used incorrectly, it may not only fail to repel water but also cause the glass to become blurry. Some low-quality water repellents can even make the wiper blades slip. If applied unevenly, it can prevent the wiper blades from cleaning the glass effectively. Here is some additional information: 1. Function: When sprayed on the glass, car glass rain repellent forms a nano protective film on the surface. This film has a hydrophobic effect, preventing the formation of a water film and maintaining the clarity of the glass. The rain repellent is non-corrosive and contains silicone resin and fluorinated organic compounds that repel water, reducing the contact area between water droplets and the glass, making it easier for the wind to blow them away. 2. Working Principle: During the application of car glass water repellent, special fluorine ions are combined with the addition of F12 super wear-resistant agents, forming an ultra-thin special coating layer on the windshield. This creates a strong water-repellent effect, causing rainwater to quickly form droplets upon contact with the glass and be blown away by the wind generated while driving.

How to Correct the Direction When the Car Body is Crooked in Reverse?

Operate the steering wheel by alternating hands. When the car body is observed to be parallel to the garage boundary line in the rearview mirror, the driver's car body is then aligned. If after entering the garage, it is noticed through the rearview mirror that the distance between the vehicle and the garage boundary line is increasing, simply push the steering wheel towards the side where the gap is widening during operation.

How is crossing the line judged in reverse parking?

In reverse parking, crossing the line with the side mirrors is considered acceptable, while crossing the line with the car body is considered unacceptable. You must cross the parking line and stop about 1.5 meters away from the left yellow line, press the clutch, shift into reverse gear, and turn the steering wheel fully to the right when the left rearview mirror aligns. When entering the parking space, steer towards the side where the rear of the car is wider, apply the brakes four times, and avoid braking midway.
