How to Prepare Your Car for the Rainy Season: The Ultimate Checklist
Share
Introduction
The rainy season can turn a peaceful drive into a stressful challenge — slippery roads, fogged glass, and poor visibility are every driver’s nightmare.
But with a little preparation, you can make rainy driving safe and effortless. Here’s a complete Rainy Season Car Care Checklist to keep your vehicle ready for whatever the weather brings.
1. Inspect and Replace Wiper Blades
Your wipers are your first defense against rain. If they squeak, streak, or skip, they need replacing. Old rubber can harden and crack, reducing visibility dramatically.
2. Apply a Hydrophobic Coating on Your Windshield
Hydrophobic coatings make rain bead and roll off instantly, improving vision even during downpours. With Autonova Anti-Rain, you’ll notice that water barely clings to the glass — your wipers work better and your reaction time improves.
3. Check Tire Tread Depth
Worn tires lose grip and can hydroplane easily. The tread should be at least 3mm deep. Good traction is your best friend in wet weather.
4. Clean Headlights and Taillights
Rain diffuses light, reducing brightness by up to 40%. Clean, polished lenses ensure maximum visibility for you and make your car more visible to others.
5. Inspect Weather Stripping and Seals
Leaks can fog your windshield and damage your car interior. Make sure door seals are intact and rubber linings around windows are tight.
6. Keep an Emergency Kit Handy
Include a flashlight, towel, jumper cables, and microfiber cloth (like the one included with Autonova sets). You never know when they’ll come in handy.
7. Avoid Overusing Defoggers
Constant use of defoggers can dry the air and increase static dust inside the car. Regularly cleaning the glass interior with a safe product reduces the need for defogging.
Conclusion
Rainy season driving doesn’t have to be stressful. With the right preparation — and a clear windshield — you can stay confident on the road.
