Why Windscreen Protection Shouldn't Be Overlooked, Even in the Warmer Months
As the warmer months approach and we spend more time on the road, it's easy to focus on the usual car care, keeping your paint shiny, ensuring your tyres are in good condition, and perhaps even scheduling a regular detailing. However, one essential area of vehicle maintenance that is often overlooked, especially in the summer, is windscreen protection.
At Isparkle Detailing, we believe that windscreen protection is just as important during the summer as it is during the colder months. With longer road trips, increased sun exposure, and more driving on highways, your windscreen faces unique challenges that can cause lasting damage. Here's why you should consider windscreen protection and how it can benefit your vehicle.
The Risks to Your Windscreen in Warmer Months
The warmer months bring increased temperatures, intense sunlight, and more environmental contaminants that can put your windscreen at risk. While it’s true that cold weather can cause issues like frost and cracking, the summer heat can have an equally damaging effect. Here are the main risks your windscreen faces during the warmer months:
UV Damage: The sun’s rays can cause the glass to weaken over time, leading to micro-cracks that are difficult to spot but can turn into larger issues.
Increased Debris: As more people hit the roads during summer, you encounter a higher volume of road debris, from small stones to bugs and bird droppings. This debris can cause chips and cracks, which can be a hassle to repair later.
Temperature Fluctuations: The combination of heat and cold, from parking in the sun and then driving into cooler environments with air conditioning, can cause the glass to expand and contract. This constant change in temperature can lead to stress on the windscreen, causing cracks.
Pollen and Tree Sap: While pollen in the air may be a sign of beautiful summer weather, it can create sticky residues on your windscreen. Tree sap, too, can be difficult to remove, leading to scratches and permanent marks if left untreated.
How Windscreen Protection Can Help
Windscreen protection works similarly to how paint protection film (PPF) and ceramic coatings protect your car’s paintwork, it provides a shield for your windscreen. Applying a protective layer prevents contaminants from bonding with the glass, making it easier to clean and reducing the risk of permanent damage.
At Isparkle Detailing, we offer a windscreen protection service that involves applying a specialised coating to create a hydrophobic layer on the glass. This coating repels water, making driving in the rain safer, as it causes water to bead off the surface and improves visibility. It also protects against dirt, bird droppings, and tree sap, all of which can be easily wiped off without causing any damage to your windscreen.
The Benefits of Windscreen Protection
Here’s why you should consider investing in windscreen protection this summer:
Improved Visibility: The hydrophobic coating improves visibility in rainy or damp conditions, as water and other contaminants are quickly swept away. This makes for safer driving, particularly during summer storms.
Easier Cleaning: The protective layer ensures that dirt, bugs, and tree sap don’t adhere to the windscreen, meaning fewer trips to the car wash and an easier time cleaning it yourself.
Increased Durability: By preventing small chips and cracks from forming, windscreen protection can increase the lifespan of your glass and help you avoid costly repairs down the road.
Enhanced Aesthetics: A protected windscreen stays cleaner for longer, maintaining a clear, pristine appearance without the buildup of grime or smears.
