Fives ways duxback treatment improves your visibility while driving
Sponsored feature
Duxback is a revolutionary windscreen treatment that takes its name from the water-repellent effect that sees water running off a duck’s back. An application of duxback renders your windscreen waterproof, which aids with your visibility while driving in a number of ways. Let’s take a look.
No more raindrops
When you are in a sudden summer downpour, it can be difficult to see through the streaming water which lands on the windscreen and then runs off again, trailing upwards or to the left or right. With a coating of duxback, the water is given no chance to stick to the windscreen, or to cling to it as it moves to one side or another. This means that raindrops actively fly off the glass so your visibility is not impeded for more than a fraction of a microsecond. If you don't trust the British weather (and let's be honest, who does?) you can book a duxback service from Reg Greenwood to be sure of confident driving.
Mud and ice are repelled
Wet earth is one of the clingiest materials that your car comes into contact with, and having even a small blob of mud on your windscreen can result in a wide swathe of reduced visibility – which is not ideal even on a quiet back road, but even less so on a busy motorway. With duxback, blobs of mud are repelled before they have a chance to leave a mark on the windscreen, with the result that you will barely even notice the mud spraying up as you drive along. Ice, too, can be a problem in winter, frosting up your entire windscreen and forcing you to spend long hours in the cold scraping it all clear. With duxback on your windscreen, ice will not be able to grip onto your glass, and if it forms at all, you will be able to simply wipe it off right away.
Abrasion resistance
Waxed windscreens can also offer good protection from raindrops, but due to its sticky nature, small pieces of grit and dirt can become trapped on the surface of the glass, only to be ground in once the windscreen wipers get to work. Duxback does not create a sticky film over the glass, instead rendering it perfectly smooth and glossy so that debris and grime is repelled in the same way as water droplets.
No greasy smears
Duxback forms a perfect seal on your glass, much like a coat of impermeable varnish on a piece of wood. This allows it to repel even adhesive matter like oil and grease, so it can be wiped off without leaving smears that might affect your visibility.
No more wipers!
Finally, even the busiest wipers can struggle if you are driving over 40 miles per hour in hard rain – but with duxback, the speed of your travel combined with the extreme slickness of the treated windscreen, you won't even need to use your wipers at all because the water will be instantly dashed away, leaving your windscreen perfectly.
