Using Wax to Keep Water Off
Wax is "hydrophobic" which means it repels water. Coating your rear view side mirrors with a thin layer of wax will keep the water molecules off. Make sure to invest in a wax that has been specifically designed for car mirrors, such as Rain-X; using a different kind of wax may not achieve the desired effect and may even negatively impact your rear and side visibility.
Find a soft dusting cloth and place a small amount of wax onto it. Do not use an abrasive cloth as it may scratch the glass. Rub the wax thinly over the entire surface of each mirror. Finally, buff the mirrors until they are shiny, and the reflection does not appear too distorted.
The layer of wax not only reduces the stickiness of the mirror but also uses the water's own stickiness to clear it away. You may not know that the apparently smooth surface of the mirror is actually covered in tiny indentations that the water can sit in. Wax fills these indentations and causes the water to run into one big stream so that it falls down and off the surface.

Cám ơn Chàng Hiu ghé vào đây nhá :kiss:
Vân nghĩ ... dùng cái này , đừng nên mua chai spray , Vân không bao giờ thích mấy chai spray .... mình dùng chai này rồi đổ thằng vào khăn để treat nó
Windshield thì mình không cần , vì có wipers và heat thổi ... nhưng SIDE MIRRORS VÀ 2 BÊN CỬA CẦN PHÀI ĐƯỢC TREATMENT , HOPEFULLY sẻ improving visibility hơn
