A car expert has revealed how one laundry product can repel rain from your vehicle\u2019s glass when mixed with water and sprayed on windows and windshields.<\/p>\n

This driving hack\u2019s liquid formula forms a protective barrier on glass surfaces, increasing visibility and safety behind the wheel during events like significant storms.<\/p>\n

AutoDoc\u2019s (@autodocuk) YouTube video tutorial lists this do-it-yourself (DIY) trick\u2019s first step as grabbing a bottle of fabric softener, a spray bottle, and water.<\/p>\n

Next, pour 50 ml of fabric softener or around one cap and 250 to 300 ml of water into your spray bottle.<\/p>\n

Mix these two ingredients by shaking the bottle before spraying its formula onto your car\u2019s glass surfaces.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Lastly, let the spray soak for a few minutes before rubbing off its excess with a dry cloth like a microfiber towel.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This DIY hack is ideal when you\u2019re in a pinch and don\u2019t have a product like Rain-X on hand.<\/p>\n

However, its effect is short-lasting, so you must re-apply the formula after car washes or storm driving.<\/p>\n

Drivers also place a protective film over their vehicle\u2019s windows and windshield to prevent pesky fogging using a particular food item.<\/p>\n

Callum Butler at ALA Insurance says cucumbers are a natural fog deterrent for car windshields.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Butler noted: \u201cCucumber contains natural oils which create a hydrophobic surface when rubbed on glass or mirrors.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe water-repellent properties of cucumber help to stop your windshield from condensing and forming a fog,\u201d ALA Insurance reports.<\/p>\n

Butler added: \u201cEssentially, it\u2019s like giving your windshield a protective film that discourages condensation during the colder months.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
