Simple tips for preparing your car for the rainy season
That is the time of year when the
heavens open, and everything becomes green. With the arrival of the rains but
there is also the arrival of a clear and present danger on the road that may be
staring you in the face and you will never realize it! Here are a few simple
things to look for even before you start driving to keep your car safe and
enjoy the rains to the full.
It is worth looking at the essence of the car to make it suitable for rain.
1. Tires: First and foremost, the
tires must be in good condition with a sufficient depth of tread. The tread pattern
on your tires is the most important thing in the rain that can keep you safe on
the roads. The water in the tarmac is pushed under the tires by the anchors and
prevents them from throwing into the water. Make sure your foot is deep enough
by simply using a coin and checking that the depth is within the safe limits -
usually 3-5mm.
2. Washer Wiper: Wipers should be
of good quality. Between the two spots of rain, the wiper blades hardened and were
coated with road film on oily and dusty roads. The windscreen itself may be
oily due to the road film. The following can later be cleaned with a gift
solution. Lastly, check if the wash wipe system is still working. Do not forget
to put two tablespoons of liquid water in the washer liquid. Once you are
convinced that the bath wipe is OK, have a practical test.
3. Lights: Lights that appear to
be good for scanning may not be enough for the air because wet roads absorb
light and appear to be very poor. Lighting should be checked for light and
correct patterns. Always use quality products. If the lights are naturally bad,
have auxiliary headlights installed - yellow lights give a good contrast. Fog
lights only cover curbs and not distant objects.
4. Mud Slides: When you are
driving, what you leave behind in your car is just as important as what you are
driving. No one likes to drive in the back of a car spraying a lot of muddy
water and, most importantly, that can be dangerous too. Make sure you fit the
pieces of mud on all four wheels before you start. After all, safe driving
means good driving.
Essential things to keep in your car during monsoons
One of the most important things
in your car during the rainy season is the umbrella. People who are drenched in
rain will leave moisture on the seats and carpet which, once they have absorbed
the water, should be dried immediately so that they do not start to stink.
The umbrella will keep passengers
dry during check-in / check-out. Keep a plastic bag close to keep the umbrella
wet.
Clean the windscreen
Dirty air keys are common during
the rainy season. Be careful to remove dirt from the air window before using
the wiper lest it leaves scratches on the glass. A water bottle and a cloth come
in handy. Pour water on the front window and wipe with a cloth. Use wipers to
wipe the glass.
Rope and shovel
A pull rope will help if you get
stuck in the mud and need to be pulled out. You will need a shovel to loosen
the trench around the tires and get a pull to pull them out.
Medical kit, food, and water
A medical kit can easily add
scratches and first aid when needed.
If you get stuck in traffic for
hours, biscuits and appliances will eliminate hunger.
Phone charger
The phone charger will help if
you get stuck in traffic jams to ensure that your mobile phone does not run
out.
Newspaper and flashlight
Keep reading until you get stuck
in traffic. The newspaper can be placed on a foot mat to soak water in wet
shoes.
A flashlight will help when you
are stuck somewhere in the dark and need to change a tire etc.
Protect your car from the rain
Contaminants of rainwater and mud
can damage your car. Here are some tips to protect you from the elements. The modern car is well-built but badly damaged by the elements. Here are some
guidelines on how to protect your car from the rain.
Preventive measures
Give your car a coat of glue
before the rain starts. This will protect the car by not allowing water to come
in contact with the paint and will prevent the formation of rust by filling in
scratches if it is present on the body panels.
Cover your car if it is parked
outside. Waterproof covers will keep water out and the pillar cloth will allow
moisture inside to escape, keeping the car dry.
Keep the car clean as rainwater
contains dirt that touches the paint. When water evaporates dirt it will leave
dirty stains, which can damage the paint. Clean the panels of the human body
and body sprayed with mud as dirt in the mud causes corrosion of the metal.
Protective accessories
Car cover
The cover of the car will protect
the car from getting wet and stop the formation of spots when water evaporates
without protecting it from small debris from scratching.
Rain guards/window mirrors act
as an eye cap. Vissers enter through windows and exit. With window visors, you
can open the window without air/rain entering the house. This also helps
prevent the formation of fog. Visors also provide shade and keep air out of the
house.
Deviating distraction
A bug deflector is a strap attached to the hood of a car to stop bugs and projectiles from hitting the windshield by changing the way the air flows. This accessory is usually installed in vehicles with a windshield wiper and is vulnerable to debris such as bed bugs, tar/water droplets, and small boulders. It can be fitted to SUVs, used cars, and vehicles with a 'tall boy' design. It is not recommended for air-efficient vehicles unless recommended by the manufacturer as fuel efficiency and management can be affected.
