【Rainy Season Car Care】 Side mirrors repel raindrops! Three easy & super hydrophobic spray options.

The southern part of Kyushu has entered the rainy season, and car rain protection is urgent. Here are three compact and quick-to-apply water-repellent items for side mirrors that I recommend.

The ease of just spraying and drying is great!

This time, MADURO has carefully selected spray types that are all easy to apply. While being careful not to spray around, just give a quick spray to the side mirror. Once it dries, it's complete. Some can also be used on the rearview mirror.

① Shuraster Zero Mirror [Water-repellent type]

After attaching the included anti-splash cover, just spray the entire mirror. By aligning ultra-fine particles of "water-repellent nano silica" at a high density, it forms an ultra-water-repellent film with a contact angle of over 160°. Thanks to a special silicone binder, water droplets do not adhere to the mirror for a long time.

With zero water droplets, visibility is excellent. You can drive comfortably even on rainy days. It can be applied to about 20 side mirrors, so the cost performance is also great.

Achieve ultra-water repellency with cutting-edge nanotechnology, "Smart View Side Mirror Coat." Extremely finely dispersed ceramic ultrafine particles form a uneven coating on the mirror surface. By reducing the contact area between the mirror and water droplets, a state where water droplets cannot adhere is realized.

③SOFT99 Galaco Mirror Coat ZERO

The "Galacoe Mirror Coat ZERO" from the Galaco series, which has received overwhelming support from the self-car care faction. It realizes super hydrophobic performance that prevents water droplets from remaining on the mirror through invisible nano-level ultra-fine continuous protrusions.

Furthermore, it forms an extremely thin, uniform, and smooth coating, significantly reducing the sticking of water and dirt. This is said to dramatically improve water repellency and durability. It is an aerosol type, allowing for a smooth application of a uniform coating in a short time without unevenness.
