Tips For Brushing Off Your Car in the Winter

Have you ever woken up late for work and needed to rush out the door to try make it on time? Well there's no worse feeling than running out and seeing that it snowed overnight and you need to brush off your car before you hit the road.Here are 5 tips for brushing off your car in the winter:

1. Start your car before you brush.

Not only will you be getting into a nice a toasty car in colder weather, it makes clearing the snow off much easier. Just be sure to give yourself enough time to let it heat up before you leave. Remote car starters are a nice luxury so you have to venture out to start it, and make a great gift for the holidays!

2. Make sure your defrosters are on.

It will help melt away some of that snow and ice stuck to your front and back windshields and clear up the fog that's inside your car as well.

3. Get a quality snow brush/ice scraper.

Most snow brush/ice scrapers are relatively cheap. Sometimes it's worth it to spend a little extra on one that won't break and clears everything off nicely. Don't forget to leave it in the car!

4. Get ALL of the snow and ice off your car before you drive.

If you have any snow or ice left on your car, it can actually cause you to use more fuel on the road if there's too much weighing you down. ALWAYS remember to get the snow/slush off the roof of your car as well. If there's slush on your roof and you stop too quickly, it can slide onto your front windshield while your on the road. If there's too much powder on the top, it will blow off once you're moving onto the cars behind you.

5. Make sure you can see out of every window AND other drivers can see you.

If there's too much snow on your windows, you won't be able to see certain blind spots. Make sure all your windows are cleared of snow and ice. If the weather is bad, don't forget to turn your headlights on so other drivers know you're on the road with them.
