Methods to prevent rainwater on car rearview mirrors: 1. For vehicles without rearview mirror heating, rearview mirror rain guards can be used. For vehicles with rearview mirror heating, simply turn on the heating function, which takes effect in 3 to 5 minutes, depending on the external ambient temperature; 2. Install rain deflectors or rain covers on the rearview mirrors, as rain deflectors are easy to install; 3. Use soap or detergent by applying soap to a wet cloth, then wiping the mirror with the cloth. After the mirror dries, gently wipe off any residue with a tissue; 4. Apply garlic, which is a great seasoning. Crush the garlic and apply it to the rearview mirror.
Here are some tips I'd like to share about preventing rainwater on rearview mirrors. When driving in the rain, blurred mirrors affecting safety is the key issue I always pay attention to. The simplest method is using rain repellent spray - automotive-specific products are readily available on the market, which form a hydrophobic layer to make rainwater roll off quickly. If your car has heated mirror function, turn it on during rain as the increased temperature effectively evaporates water droplets. I've also developed the habit of regularly cleaning mirrors with soft cloth and alcohol to remove grease and dust, preventing long-term buildup from reducing rain protection. Once during heavy rain on the highway, poor visibility nearly caused an accident, so now I always prepare in advance. Auxiliary driving techniques like opening windows or directing air conditioning toward mirror areas can help too, but maintaining good vehicle condition for driving safety comes first. This method is simple and worry-free, suitable for any car owner's daily use.
