It’s already October. Before you know it, you’ll be scraping ice off the windshield. Get prepared now before the snow and ice set in, so you won’t be left out in the cold.

Glass Care

It’s a little early for frost but you don’t want to be caught by surprise. Choose from Innovation Factory‘s unique snow and ice tools: the MINI IceDozer Ice Scraper, the IceDozer Plus Ergonomic Ice Scraper, and the SnowMover Personal Snowplow.

Ice scraping is easier when you use 1Z Einszett De-Icer Spray. It penetrates snow, ice, and frost so it can be easily scraped away.

Clean your windshield and prevent re-icing with 1Z Einszett Anti-Frost Washer Fluid. It works down to -20F!

Winter Washing

Washing your vehicle is a challenge this time of year but Autogeek has some options to make it easier.

The Nomad 18 Volt Portable Power Cleaner is a cordless, rechargable car wash – minus the bucket and hose. The Nomad holds 3.5 gallons of water and has a high pressure sprayer. Rinse off road salt and mud any time, anywhere.

Another way to wash is DP Rinseless Wash & Gloss, a rinse-free car wash concentrate. No water hose is needed! Wash your vehicle inside the garage using just two gallons of water.

Paint Protection

Klasse All-In-One and High Gloss Sealant Glaze are a popular and extremely durable combination for winter paint protection. The tough acrylic coating lasts and lasts.

Fall Coverage

Specifically in the Fall, car covers are a great way to keep falling leaves and debris off your paint. Select a custom Covercraft Car Cover to suit your protection needs.

Deflection

Minimize the amount of road salt and debris hitting the paint with WeatherTech No-Drill Mud Flaps. No drilling is requiped to install these sharp, custom-fitting mud flaps.

Interior Protection

Garage Gear

If you travel during the winter, you must have a Battery Tender battery charger!

It’s Fall at last! For many of you that means more rain showers. With daylight savings coming up, you may be driving to and from work in the dark. Many more chilly wet mornings are coming. You can’t change the weather but you can change how you prepare your vehicle for it. Autogeek.net has many options to keep your windshield clean and clear, even in inclement weather.

We highly recommend the Diamondite Glass Cleaning System Kit. You know how your windshield wipers skip over the glass and don’t really move much water? This kit solves that problem. Skipping or chattering wiper blades are caused by a dirty windshield. Dirt can become lodged in the glass, leaving the surface bumpy and gritty. An oily coating of exhaust film on the glass mixes with the rain to create a blurry mess on the windshield. The? Diamondite Glass Cleaning System Kit contains a glass cleaner to remove the oily film plus Spray Clay, a foam detailing clay, that removes the dirt that’s stuck in the glass. Lastly, Diamondite Shield creates a slick coating over the glass that allows water to bead and roll away. Your wipers glide over this coating and actually move the water. It’s like a new set of wipers! Try the Diamondite Glass Cleaning System Kit and the next time it rains, you’ll be so glad you used it.

Another outstanding glass sealant is Aquapel Glass Treatment & Rain Repellant. The sealant is packaged in a single use applicator. One application lasts up to 6 months. You can find this service at detail shops but now you can get it at Autogeek.net for a very small price. Aquapel creates a hydrophobic coating that repels water so it beads up and rolls away. The wipers just help it on its way. You’ll be able to see through your windshield in the rain, even in the dark. Aquapel reduces the glare from car lights and streetlights. The best news is that one application of Aquapel will last you through the entire rainy season!

This time of year, you find yourself using the heater because it’s colder outside, but then the interior windshield fogs up…then you’re trying to adjust the defrost. You need Glass Science Fog Clear. Fog Clear is a coating you apply to the interior windshield and windows. It dries clear. The coating absorbs moisture to eliminate condensation instantly. No more foggy windows.

One last tip: take care of your windshield wipers. People often don’t think about wipers until they’re worn out. You usually discover that during the season’s first big rain storm! Like the rest of your car, a little preventative maintenance will ensure your wipers function when you need them. Use 303 Wiper Treatment Wipes to recondition rubber wiper blades so they glide over the glass. Snow and ice will not stick to treated blades, so this is a product you will want to use all winter.

With a few inexpensive and easy-to-use glass care products, you’ll be able to maneuver this Fall weather safely. See more glass care products for all seasons at Autogeek.net.
