Car: Tips for the winter

The winter will come, snow and ice make the car driver, not only while driving, even before boarding. The windows and mirrors freeze, ice scrape is announced, the door keys freeze. It is tedious, especially for someone who has no garage or garaging. It is very helpful to know some good tips.

  • Protect outside mirrors from ice For this you put a freezer bag over it each night and close it with a rubber. In the morning just pull off the bag and you have ice-free mirrors.
  • When the door lock is frozen, it helps to rub the lock and the key with some hand disinfectant, it is also pure alcohol, the ice melts and you can unlock again. Some fire the key with fire, I would let that be, that only damages the key. I also took a straw and puffed the lock with it, my warm breath helped me a lot.
  • With moisture in the car It is best to leave a bag (stocking) cat litter or salt in the car, which removes the moisture very well.
  • Wet doormats are also to blame for the humidity in the car. It is snowing and you get in with your wet shoes. It is best to cover the carpets with newspaper, which absorbs the moisture wonderfully and can then be disposed of again.
  • Rub windshield in with shaving foam from the inside helps against fogging. To do this, polish the foam with a cloth on the inside, without rinsing.
  • Buy windscreen wipers with socks does not look very nice, but works great against the freezing on the windows. If it happens that they are frozen, pure alcohol helps again. The ice dissolves in the wind.
  • Park east, Who parks his car with the windscreen in the east, uses the morning sun rays already to defrost.
  • Vinegar rinse water mix in a spray bottle, not much detergent, just a few drops. This sprays the icy disc, leaves it for some time and then the ice dissolves and you can leave it off the windscreen wiper.
