I washed my car with a cracked windshield using a bucket and sponge. It felt safer, and I could definitely feel more in control of the pressure.
I love that idea! It’s like washing a delicate piece of art.
Never thought I’d say this, but maybe my car needs a spa day instead of a regular wash!
Haha, I love that! A spa day sounds much less stressful for both you and your windshield.
Just remember, if the crack goes into your line of sight, be super careful! A dirty windshield could affect driving visibility.
Exactly! Safety first, even when washing your car. Thanks for the reminder.
It’s sad that you can’t use those cool automatic washes, but safety always comes first! I hope you find the best method that works for your situation.
Has anyone tried any homemade cleaning solutions that are safe for a cracked windshield? I’m curious to see what works!
I haven’t, but that sounds interesting! I wonder if vinegar and water would be gentle enough…
Washing your car with a cracked windshield can be tricky. It’s crucial to fix the crack before it spreads, especially if you use a power washer. Consider a DIY repair kit for small cracks, which can be found at auto shops.
I totally agree! I tried a DIY kit on my friend’s car, and it worked wonders! Just make sure to follow the instructions carefully.
I don’t mind washing my car with a cracked windshield, but I know I should fix it soon. Are there any signs I should watch for that indicate I need professional help?
If you notice the crack expanding or if it distorts your view, it’s definitely time to see a pro! Safety first!
It’s also worth noting that some states require a clear windshield legally. Driving with a big crack might not only be unsafe but could also get you a ticket!
Wow, I didn’t think about the legal aspects! I guess fixing it sooner would save me from potential fines.
I’m all for DIY, but if you have a significant crack, I recommend seeking professional help. It could save you more money down the line by preventing further damage.
What’s considered significant? I have a small chip but I’m not sure if it qualifies.
Usually, if the crack is longer than a dollar bill or in your line of sight, it’s significant enough to get fixed professionally! Better safe than sorry.
That’s helpful. Thanks! I’ll definitely be more careful when washing my car now.
I like to wash my car too, but let’s be real—if the windshield is cracked, washing it might just make things worse, especially with water getting into the crack.
