Smear toothpaste on the car mirror. You will quickly get rid of the problem

Rain can be a really stressful situation for some drivers. Those four-wheelers who have heated mirrors can rest assured, but not everyone has this function in their car. Is there any way to prevent raindrops from settling on car mirrors? One of the most popular tricks on the Internet is to use toothpaste.

Just apply a bit of the paste to the mirror, wipe it with a paper towel, and then wipe it with a wet cloth. During our test, Tomek Pazdyk used a spray bottle to spray imitating raindrops onto the car mirror. After a while, it was obvious that the drops were not settling on the part of the mirror where there was toothpaste.

Other car tricks that will be useful for drivers

It turns out that we can also improve the appearance of our car with toothpaste. We’re talking about lights here. Just apply a small amount to a cloth and wipe the headlights in circular motions. The paste contains mild abrasives that will help fill micro-scratches and remove impurities. However, remember to avoid varnish, as it may turn out that the toothpaste is too harsh and may damage our bodywork.
