Good automobile maintenance day!
Truck has it's inspection due this month, so I swapped out the wipers, engine air filter and cabin air filter. Also cleaned the inside of the windshield, and cleaned and Rain-Xed the outside. I changed the oil and filter last Friday, so all that's left before the inspection is to give it a good cleaning inside and out.
I went out to just apply Rain-X to the car I bought in December because the two times I've driven it in the rain, I think, "dang, I need to put Rain-X on the windshield!" Done! Dang done! LOL!
For those of you who have never used Rain-X, you have no idea how much better your visibility can be driving in the rain. Heck, if you're driving 55 mph or faster, you probably don't need to use your wipers. If you want the best of all worlds, use Rain-X washer fluid to help maintain the treatment. (Rain-X commercial over...lol)
