We all know why windshield wiper fluid is important. You don’t want your windshield getting dirty and to not have a means to clean it. Making sure you use proper wiper fluid is an absolute necessity.

What’s in real wiper fluid? It consists of water with a slight bit of alcohol to keep it from freezing. It also contains cleaning detergents to help keep your windshield clean.

It is important to periodically keep the reservoir full at all times so that the fluid can be used for extended periods while traveling. An adequate supply of windshield wiper fluid is not only needed to keep the windshield clean but to also act as a lubricant for the mechanical device that runs the wipers.

If there is not adequate fluid to lubricate the glass so the wipers can move freely it can cause the wiper motor to perform unnecessary work that causes wear and tear on that system.

If you’ll be traveling to the homes of friends and family for the holidays, you might be bringing some food with you. You’ll need to make sure that the meals you’ve prepared are safe while you’re driving.

When you’re making soups and gravies and need to transport them in the car, make sure that you line the bowl or dish with foil or plastic wrap before adding the lid. This adds extra security and ensures that spills will come in contact with the lining instead of on the floor of your car. You can also line your car floor with a large towel or piece of plastic or tarp to make sure that sauces and stews don’t damage your interior.

When you’re transporting small desserts like tarts or cookies, wrap them in foil and put them in a large sealed snack bag to prevent them from crumbling during your trip.

It’s also a good idea to have a friend or loved one in the back seat who can monitor the food and make sure there are no accidents.

We hope you have a great holiday season. If you find yourself in need of a new car, get in touch with BMW Fresno in Fresno, CA. We can help you with all of your vehicle needs.
