Have you ever considered rubbing an apple against your car’s windshield? It might sound strange, but this old and clever method is especially popular among truck drivers.
The dual benefits of the apple trick
The apple trick serves two purposes. First, you can remove insects from the windshield using a sliced apple. The fruit acid in the apple easily dissolves the insects. But the brilliance of the apple trick is that you’ll hardly need your windshield wipers.
The apple acid creates a lotus effect on your windshield. The water simply rolls off and doesn’t stick to the glass. This means you can continue driving in the rain without wipers and still maintain sufficient visibility.
How to execute the trick
To achieve this effect, you need to slice an apple in half and rub the cut surface over your windshield. Try this old but ingenious trick the next time you anticipate rain during your drive.
It’s particularly useful if you’re planning a self-driving vacation soon, especially with the unpredictable weather we’re experiencing.
