The enemy of a clean car in summer is the mosquito, an insect that, in addition to bothering us on the beach, gets embedded in our car while we are traveling, which greatly hinders our vision on the road.
We have all suffered the consequences of traveling during July and August. The blows on the front window and the spots that appear at the moment are unmistakable signs that we have collided with a mosquito.
The problem comes when the trip lasts more than 2 hours and every few minutes we hear that tap on the glass. When we reach our destination, the car looks like another.
This is an endemic disease of a very specific season of the year, that’s why we don’t get angry but we live with it in the best possible way: with resignation.
Luckily, there are several ways to clean these stains on the glass, although they are not easy to remove, since the dirt is quite encrusted.
We go with the cleaning tricks:
- Using the car wash: Although the gun is more comfortable to use, it is less effective in removing embedded dirt. Instead, the rollers have the advantage of hitting and dragging the cedars on the hood, which usually works when it comes to removing stuck mosquitoes.
- Use hot water: As all of us who scrub know, hot water is the best to remove stains, and that is what we want to remove from our windshield. That is why we recommend using hot water during the process as it will save us time and effort.
- Let it soak: When mosquitoes have been embedded in the glass for a long time, it is usual to remove them is a titanic task, so it is best to wet the area several times so that they gradually peel off.
- Use a wet towel: The final trick we have left for last, since it is the last option. It consists of putting a large towel on top of the front window and soaking it well with water. Let it act for half an hour (you can get it wet from time to time) and then move it from one side to the other all over the windshield. With this technique you will not leave a mosquito stuck.
Clean the front glass of our car it’s not just aesthetics, such as other parts of the car, it is road safety and a sensitive point in the face of the DGT, which can put us up to seven fines in this regard.
Fortunately, there are plenty of tips and tricks to leave the car window spotless, so if one of the ones we have given you does not work because that mosquitoes came from Chernobyl, do not worry because next on the list it sure saves you from the bind. Good luck and care on the road.
