Winter is coming, snow is inevitable in most areas, and the snowy weather is likely to cause some troubles to vehicles parked in the open air. How to remove snow? What special tools are there?

primary equipment

 

Even if you don’t drive after the snow, you should clean up the snow in time. Otherwise, the snow melts during the day, but it may freeze at night, and the doors and windows cannot be opened the next day. Therefore, it is very important to use tools to clean up the snow in time. important.

 

1. Gloves

 

Gloves are a must in winter. Even if you don't have any tools, you can carry out simple snow removal work only with gloves. Of course, the only disadvantage is that the efficiency is quite low and the gloves are easy to be damaged.

 

Here I remind everyone that it is best to use the kind of thread gloves and rubber gloves for work. If you don’t have them, you can also use cotton gloves that you usually use. It is best not to use more expensive leather gloves, because snow removal can easily make the gloves wet, and the leather Gloves may be somewhat damaged. In addition, gloves can only remove relatively soft snow, if it is ice ballast that has frozen on the glass, the effect will not be very good.

 

2. Towels

 

I believe that most car owners will keep some towels or rags in the car. Like gloves, they are not targeted tools for wiping snow on the body, but they can also be used as an emergency. It is fast and effective for clearing soft snow, but the towel is not very useful when the glass is already frozen.

 

Intermediate equipment

 

Snow Shovel/Brush

 

If the city where you live often snows heavily in winter, it is recommended to prepare two special snow removal tools, which are much stronger than scratching and pulling on the car with gloves every day. One is a dedicated snow shovel and the other is a brush. In short, a tool that can sweep a large area without damaging the paint is enough.

 

 

Advanced equipment

 

car cover

 

If you don’t usually park your car in the basement, you can also take some preventive measures, such as hanging up the car cover before snowfall. The overall protection effect of the car cover is the best, but if you want to take off the car cover when it snows, it is not recommended. For small projects, first of all, it is necessary to remove the snow. In addition, it is not comfortable to store a large group of wet car clothes. Therefore, for snow protection, you can choose the front windshield. Storage is also more convenient.

 

 

 

In terms of snow removal tools, I think it is more convenient to use a partial car cover, just remove the car cover after snow. If you feel that the car cover is too expensive, you can also choose special tools such as snow shovels, which can be bought online for only a few dozen yuan. If you live in a place where it often snows, you may wish to keep a set in your car. In addition, the editor does not recommend using gloves or towels to remove snow. It can be used in an emergency, but if you often encounter snowy days, prepare a set of special tools.

 

Snow Removal Precautions

 

1. Wiper

 

Since the wiper is made of rubber and fits well with the windshield, the wiper may freeze on the glass when it snows. If the wiper is used in this state, the wiper will be damaged lightly, and the wiper strip will be torn off when it is heavy. .

 

 

 

 

 

summary:

 

Although snow is very romantic, it will have a certain impact on people's travel, especially friends who drive. Cleaning up snow after snow has become an essential skill for many northern car owners, but some novice drivers or drivers who do not often encounter snow may have less experience in this area. Windows and other parts are frozen solid, which not only takes more effort to clean up, but also delays your travel time, so here we also remind you that you must clean up the snow as soon as possible after the snow to avoid unnecessary trouble.
