STEP 1 – DEFROSTING

Snow may fall on your window screen and get on areas it shouldn’t be. Top Tip: It is best to have no snow on your car if you can prevent it as snow can fall off especially off the top of your car. Start by using a Bottle and Trigger Spray and fill with Rubbing Alcohol 70%. Spray the icy windows and the rest of your car and dry with an old towel. This will not only get rid of ice but will help prevent fogging and leave your windows with a streak-free shine. Win Win! Clear and clean windows!

Top Tip: Please make sure the snow is completely clear of the roof, lights and number plates. This will help avoid accidents.

STEP 2 – CLEANING THE CAR

Keeping your car clean will prevent your car from looking dirty and will mean your number plates can be seen at all time. It also helps to keep bacteria away from your car making you less likely to get ill. Use our Multi Purpose Cleaner.

STEP 3 – CLEANING YOUR WINDOWS

Cleaning the windows of your car will make sure no snow will get in the way when driving. Use our Glass & Window cleaner to keep snow away. Simply spray the glass & window cleaner on windows, allow to soak for 5 – 10 minutes. Use a cloth to clean windows. Repeat if necessary.

STEP 4 – SHELTER

If you can, put your car inside the garage to avoid snow. If not, try using a shield to cover.

STEP 5 – CAR BATTERY

Make sure to check your car battery, in cold and damp weather this can be a battery killer.

The best screen wash to make sure that your windows are clean and streak free is Rubbing Alcohol 70%. For this solution add one gallon of distilled water to a clean, empty container, add one cup of window and glass cleaner and Rubbing Alcohol 70%. Mix well by shaking the container and add the solution to your car.
