How much screenwash to put in car?

There’s no exact “one size fits all” amount – you just fill the screenwash reservoir until it reaches the max line inside the bottle or neck of the tank. Most cars take a few litres when empty. If you’re topping it up, just add enough so it’s comfortably full. It’s a good habit to check it more often in summer, as bugs and dust can use it up faster than you think.

Does screenwash freeze?

Standard screenwash can freeze if temperatures drop low enough, especially if it’s heavily diluted with water. That’s why many people switch to a proper summer or all-season mix that’s made to cope with changing temperatures. Even in warmer months, it’s worth using screenwash rather than plain water, as it helps prevent residue building up and keeps your windscreen clearer.

Do sunshades for cars work?

Yeah, they actually make a noticeable difference. Sunshades help block direct sunlight, which keeps the dashboard, steering wheel and seats cooler when your car’s parked up. They won’t turn your car into an air-conditioned room, but they do take the edge off the heat and help protect the interior from fading or cracking over time.

What does a car dehumidifier do?

A car dehumidifier pulls moisture out of the air inside your vehicle. That helps cut down on misty windows, damp smells and that clammy feeling you sometimes get in warm weather or after rain. It’s especially handy if your car tends to fog up quickly or you’ve got wet shoes, coats, or towels sitting in the footwell.
