Driving on the road can be stressful most of the time, but we all know how challenging it can be to drive in the pouring rain.<\/p>\n

As we head into winter which is normally wet<\/a>, it is important for you to ensure your vehicle is equipped to handle these adverse weather conditions. Windscreen wipers work to keep our windscreens clear when it rains, but there is an additional step you can take to improve your visibility and extend the life of your wipers, like using a high-quality windscreen rain repellent treatment<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

With winter now upon us, it\u2019s timely to explore a little bit about rain repellent for your windscreen, and how it can help make your drive safer in wet conditions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Firstly, what is a windscreen rain repellent?<\/h2>\n

Put simply, it\u2019s a treatment that you apply, usually as a spray, that helps repel rain from your windscreen.<\/p>\n

Repellents, when used with standard windscreen wipers, can improve a driver\u2019s visibility in the rain and deliver other benefits (like making glass easier to clean).<\/p>\n

These treatments are not new, and you can find repellents in Auto Stores and online. But all repellents are not made equal. They have different ingredients (some are silicone-based, and others are more advanced, with nano-based formulas), with varying durability, so can last for different times, e.g. for 1-2 months and even up to six months, and cost. These treatments have to be applied by you, and require careful following of instructions to ensure application is done correctly.<\/p>\n

So, how do you select the right windscreen repellent to use? It\u2019s important to choose a product that offers proven, effective performance that lasts.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Meet O\u2019Brien\u00ae Vis-Tech, our new rain repellent for your windscreen<\/h2>\n

O\u2019Brien\u00ae Vis-Tech is a new, durable rain repellent treatment that stands out in the market, providing a superior invisible coating that ensures water droplets effortlessly<\/p>\n

slide off your windscreen when driving over 65km\/hr, enhancing your driving vision and safety.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how O\u2019Brien\u00ae Vis-Tech can make your driving safer and more comfortable in the rain this winter:<\/p>\n

1. Improved visibility on the road.<\/h4>\n

By effectively repelling water, the windscreen remains clearer during heavy rain, enhancing the driver’s ability to see the road ahead.<\/p>\n

It does this by creating a hydrophobic (water-repellent) barrier that prevents water droplets from sticking to the glass, allowing them to quickly slide away as you drive, improving your windscreen vision. Even when not driving, the coating will make the water form into droplets (which is different to how it would appear on an untreated screen!).<\/p>\n

2. Glare is reduced, especially when driving at night.<\/h4>\n

O\u2019Brien\u00ae Vis-Tech can also reduce glare caused by oncoming headlights or other light sources reflecting off wet glass, providing a safer driving experience.<\/p>\n

3. Rain-repellent-treated windscreens are easier to clean.<\/h4>\n

The hydrophobic barrier also helps keep the windscreen clean, as dirt, insects and other debris are less likely to stick to the treated glass. This also extends to frost or ice, which can easily come off when formed on the windscreen, meaning you don\u2019t have to scrape it off like before!<\/p>\n
