How Hawaii’s weather can lead to fogged up windows

The warm and often humid weather in Hawaii can indirectly cause your car windows to fog-up which can make it incredibly difficult or even impossible to see out of them. This obviously makes it extremely dangerous to drive.

What happens is that the inside of your car can get extremely warm in Hawaii when it is sitting out in the sun while you are not in it. So, when many people first get into their car in Hawaii, their reaction is to crank up the air conditioning. When they do this, the windows fog-up almost immediately.

That is because condensation settles on your windows when it is hot out in Hawaii. Then, when you turn the air conditioning on, the air becomes dew, and this is what “fogs-up” your windows.
 

How you can stop foggy windows from happening

There are several ways you can prevent your car windows from fogging-up in Hawaii. The best way to do this is to keep your car’s internal temperature cool while you are not in it. This is not always the easiest thing to do. We suggest keeping your car in a garage if you can or at least in a shaded area.

Another way you can stop foggy windows before they happen in Hawaii is by opening your windows instead of turning on the air conditioner in order to cool your car down in Hawaii.
 

The best ways you can de-fog your car windows in Hawaii

There are also a few ways that you can de-fog your windows once they fog-up in the first place in Hawaii:

• Recirculate the air – If you set your air conditioner to recirculate the air, you can get the temperature inside the car to equal that of the air outside which will cause the windows to de-fog.
• Use your wipers – This is usually a temporary measure as your windows can fog-back up as soon as you turn your wipers off but it can be a stop-gap if you are in a hurry.
• Wipe your windows with a cloth – This is a temporary measure as your windows will fog back up not long after you wipe them. This is only if you are in a real hurry. We recommend at least using your wipers in addition to wiping your window with a cloth.
• Keep the A/C low – If you need to turn on the air conditioning, keep it to the least cool setting possible. Remember, foggy windows are caused by the temperature difference from the air inside the car and the air outside of the car. So, if that difference is smaller, your windows will be less foggy.

Conclusion

It is crucial to being able to drive safely in Hawaii that you do not have fogged up windows. There are ways that you can prevent your windows from fogging up and there are ways for you to de-fog them if they do end up getting fogged up. Always be sure that you allow yourself some extra time before you drive somewhere to de-fog your windows.

Advice to read before you buy a used car in Hawaii

Before you buy a used car in Hawaii, you need to do your research, just as you would anywhere else you were considering buying a used car. However, there are even a few steps to take before that point.

First you will need to figure out your budget. For a used or even a new car, this should not be more than one fifth of your salary (after you have taxes deducted). So, if you clear $50,000 after taxes each year, you should not spend more than ten thousand dollars on a car, new or used.

Once you set your budget, consider what type of car that you are looking to buy. You should consider several brands if you are looking to buy a particular type of car. This way it will be more likely that you will find a good deal.

Next, you will want to comparison shop around. Remember, physical car-dealerships are not the only place that you can buy a car anymore. You can buy them online and from private sellers as well.
 

How you can ship a used car you bought online to Hawaii

Shipping a used car that you purchased online to Hawaii is not too much different from normally shipping a car to Hawaii. You need to find an auto transport company that ships to Hawaii.

Then you need to figure out where you are shipping from exactly and what port you are shipping to in Hawaii. You will need to ask the seller the specific address where the car is located.

After that, you can book your shipment once you discuss the specific details with your car shipping company.
 

Final Word

Buying a used car in Hawaii is easy when it comes to certain aspects and more complex when it comes to others, just as it is anywhere else. The important thing to remember is to always do the appropriate research before you buy a used car from any seller in Hawaii. This includes looking up the history of a vehicle on a site like CarFax and reading past reviews of any dealership you are considering on a site Google.

Tips for getting your car repaired in Hawaii

Before you go and get your car repaired in Hawaii, you should read the following tips so you can have the best experience possible:

• Stay away from the dealership when you need auto repairs – Dealerships almost always are the most expensive option when you are trying to get your car fixed. They generally choose to use the costliest parts and service so that they can charge the highest for the repairs.
• See what insurance can do for you if the damage was the result of an accident – You pay expensive insurance premiums each month, so that if you ever need work done on your car, at least some of it might be covered. Call your insurance company and talk with them about your options if the work that you need done on your car was the result of an accident.
• Get at least two estimates – When you go to get your car fixed, you want to make sure that you comparison shop for the repairs. Some repair shops will charge more than others for the same services. We recommend that you get at least three estimates.
• Pay with a credit card – If the work you get done is not done right and the auto shop will not refund your money, you can dispute the charges with your credit card company within sixty days of the charge. You will need to jump through some hoops but at least this gives you a chance of possibly getting refunded.
• Do not leave any personal items in the car – It only happens rarely, but sometimes a dishonest mechanic could steal something out of your car. In order to avoid this, do not leave anything of value in there when you are getting repaired.

Conclusion

Getting your car fixed in Hawaii is as simple as it is anywhere else in the country. You just need to make sure that you know what you are doing so that you do not end up getting ripped-off. You can always use a site like Google to read other former customers reviews to see how each service center treats customers.

Tips for driving in the rain in Hawaii
Final word
 

What the weather is like in Hawaii

The weather usually varies in Hawaii depending on where you are. It ranges from desert-like climates to beautiful tropical climates. In between, you have certain areas that get hundreds of inches of rain per year. As an overall average, the entire state of Hawaii normally gets less than twenty inches of rain per year. So, overall, Hawaii does get much less rain than a lot of states.

However, there are areas that average much more rain than that as we just mentioned. These areas include Kaneohe, Hana, Kilauea, Hawaii Volcanoes Park and Hilo. These areas all average over two hundred days of rain per year and some average over a hundred inches of rain per year. So, you can see that the heavy rainfall in Hawaii is concentrated in several small areas.
 

What driving is like in Hawaii

Driving in Hawaii is much slower paced and relaxed than it is in most other places in the United States. This can be pleasant for some while it can be frustrating for others. Drivers in Hawaii often do not drive over the speed limit and they also do not exhibit much “road rage” if any at all. In fact, drivers in Hawaii really only use their horns to say “hello” to someone or to acknowledge someone, they do not use horns to say “get out of the way” or “speed up.”

As you might expect, this laid-back style of driving becomes even slower moving when there is inclement weather just as traffic does in any other part of the country. For safety’s sake, this is a good thing. For the sake of getting somewhere in an efficient amount of time, it hurts a bit.
 

Tips for driving in the rain in Hawaii

Driving in the rain in Hawaii requires focus and safety, just as it would anywhere else. However, it is also a little bit different than most other places at the same time. Use the following tips to be able to drive safely in the rain in Hawaii:

• Always check your weather before you head out on the road – Knowing what you are getting yourself into will help you plan the route you take and minimize overall travel time.
• Give yourself some extra time – If you know that there is a chance of rain in the forecast, you should give yourself some extra time for your commute. If you do this, the worst thing that could happen is that you end up arriving at your destination a bit early. In Hawaii, driving through the rain can easily take longer than it does in most other places.
• Keep some extra distance between you and the car in front of you – In case you need to stop short in the rain, you might end up in a skid. With this possibility in mind, you should give yourself some extra distance between you and the car in front of you.
• Try and avoid hitting and big puddles or standing areas of water – Driving through areas of standing water can cause you to hydroplane and lose control of your car. If possible, try to avoid driving through large spots of water.
• De-fog the windows – Keeping the fog off of the windows is important so that you can safely see the road. When you get in your car and it is raining, the windows will likely fog up due to the increased levels of moisture in the air.

Final word

For the most part, you likely will not end up seeing much precipitation in Hawaii. However, some areas end up getting much more rain than others in Hawaii. So, if you end up needing to drive through these areas, you should be ready to drive through some rain. This also means being ready for your drive to move along at an even slower pace than normal. If you are moving to Hawaii or taking a long trip there you always have the option of shipping your car there, so call us today at (808) 445-6695!

Why Hawaii’s climate can shorten the life of your car

Driving in Hawaii is a very pleasant experience. However, the beautiful weather in the state can take its toll on your car in the long run. Things like salt air can ruin cause considerable damage to your cars finish. The hot weather can also cause your engine to work harder than it typically needs to.

These factors are manageable, but you need to take precautions in order to keep your car running well for as long as possible. Even if your car does not seem to be suffering any ill effects from these things, the effects might already have started to take effect imperceptibly. So, now is the time to start taking the necessary steps to prevent this slow acting damage regardless.
 

How you can extend your car’s life in Hawaii

As we just mentioned, there are a few things that you can do in order to keep your car in tip-top shape for the longest amount of time possible:

• Keep your car out of the sun – The san can do serious damage to your car’s paint over time. Salt air is another serious offender for this. If you keep your car in a garage, or at least covered, you can prevent most of this damage from happening.
• Don’t push the engine if possible – If you normally drive fast, consider slowing down. The less stress you put on your engine in a warmer climate like Hawaii the longer your engine will last. You should also try and avoiding to much frequent braking AKA traffic, but that might not be very easy in Hawaii.
• Make sure you take care of the routine maintenance on-time – Changing your oil might not seem like a super important task but if you do not do it as frequently you are supposed to, your cars engine can break down more easily – especially in hot weather like you have in Hawaii.
• Keep the car as light as you can – The more weight a car has, the harder the engine ends up needing to work. So, keep unnecessary stress off the engine by keeping the car low-weight.
• Get it waxed – By getting your car waxed, you essentially are adding an extra layer of protection for your car from adverse weather, sun and salt-air which are all prevalent in Hawaii.

Final word

Taking a few easy precautions can really make a big difference for your car in Hawaii. The warm weather and the sun in particular, can slowly but surely cause your car to age faster than it would somewhere else. Doing something as simple as keeping your car out of the sun can make a huge difference for the longevity of your vehicle.

The risk of a car overheating in Hawaii

As you might expect, the risk for your car’s engine overheating in an area with a much warmer climate is higher than other areas with more moderate temperatures. So, if you have an older car in Hawaii, you need to be aware that you are at a slightly higher risk of having your engine over-heat than most other car owners.

Your actual risk for your car overheating depends on a few things. The first of these factors is the age of your car. This is really the combination of all the other factors because the older a car’s parts get, the more likely they will be to malfunction. The individual parts of the car that can malfunction causing the car to overheat are the coolant, the car’s thermostat, and the cooling fan for the radiator. In warmer temperatures, these parts can become more strained trying to function which can, occasionally, lead to an issue occurring.
 

How can you prevent your car from overheating in Hawaii

The best way to deal with the possibility of your engine overheating in Hawaii is by preventing it all together. First and foremost, you will want to get your engine serviced regularly. Make sure that the mechanic checks the parts that we mentioned above. Tell them that you want to be absolutely sure that your engine does not overheat.
 

Tips to keep your engine cool

The obvious way to prevent your car from overheating is by keeping it cool. There are several ways that you can do this:

• Keep the car in out of the heat – This likely will not make or break your car in terms of overheating, but every little bit can help. So, whenever you can, keep your car in a garage or at least in the shade.
• Get your windows tinted – You can keep the temperature of the interior of your car lower by getting your windows tinted. This will not directly prevent the engine from overheating, but it will help you use the air-conditioning less which will help keep the engine cool.
• Keep your eye on the engine coolant – You should make sure that you always have enough engine coolant. You can do so by checking when your engine is warm or cool. If you check when your engine is hot, the coolant should be close to the “maximum fill” line. If you check it when your engine is cold, it should be just above the “minimum fill” line.
• Occasionally have the radiator flushed out – Having your radiator flushed out occasionally is how you can get your old coolant fluid, which gets dirty and does not perform as well after a while, removed and replaced with new coolant fluid.
• Consider getting a new battery – Your car battery is obviously what provides power to the car. When the battery gets too old, your car needs to work considerably harder to get that power from the battery. So, if your current battery is older than a few years old, consider getting a new battery.

Conclusion

The temperatures in Hawaii are higher than most places on the planet. So, taking care of your car to ensure that it does not overheat is important. In order to do so you will need to check your engine on a consistent basis for things like your coolant level. You should also take the initiative to park in a garage or shady areas as well as to get your windows tinted.

What parts the thieves are stealing from cars
How can you prevent this from happening to your car
Final word
 

What parts the thieves are stealing from cars

Currently in Hawaii, there has been a rash of theft when thieves will steal parts from people’s cars so they can sell them for scrap for a small profit. The problem is that these are important parts of cars that are legally required in order for the cars to be driven. Some cars may not even operate properly without these parts.

The parts they are stealing are the catalytic converters. A catalytic converter lowers the amount of toxic gasses that cars produce while they are running. So, your car still could run without the catalytic converter, but it is illegal to do so. In fact, if you take your car in to be inspected without a catalytic converter, you will fail the inspection.

The biggest issue with these parts being stolen is the cost to replace them. When you need a new catalytic converter installed, it will very likely cost over $1000 dollars. The sad thing is that the thieves who take these parts and cost the victims all that money only make about $50 themselves because these parts are sold as scrap metal.
 

How can you prevent this from happening to your car

It is no easy task to prevent your catalytic converter from being stolen. It is located on the undercarriage of your car, so it is quite difficult to “keep an eye” on it. However, there are a few things that you can do to prevent it from being stolen:

• Keep your car in a garage – If you have a garage or have access to one, then you should definitely keep your car in it. Remember, the thieves are only making a few bucks by stealing these Catalytic Converters, so if you make it more trouble than it’s worth, you will not need to worry.
• Keep your car in a well-lit area – These thieves want to grab these parts off of cars as quickly as possible with as little chance as possible of being caught. So, they will default to stealing these parts from cars in poorly lit dark areas rather than areas with more lighting.
• Always keep an eye out for any sort of suspicious individuals loitering near your car – If you see someone hanging out on your block and/or near your car and they seem suspicious to you, report them to the police immediately.
• You can write your VIN on your catalytic converter – Your Vehicle Identification Number is specific to your car. If you write it on your catalytic converter you will at least stand a small chance of having it recovered. More importantly, a converter with writing on it will be worth less and harder to sell, so you will be discouraging someone from stealing it.

Final word

Replacing your catalytic converter is very costly. So, do whatever you can in order to protect it from being stolen. If it is stolen, you will need to replace it eventually as your car will not pass an inspection without it. Right now, this is occurring primarily on Oahu but this sort of criminal activity can easily spread to neighboring islands.

The best day trips to take in Hawaii

Hawaii might be the best spot on the planet to take a day trip. The lush green beauty of the chain of islands is best enjoyed through a day trip. Here are the best day trips that you can take in Hawaii:

1. Waikiki Beach – Possibly the single most beautiful beach in the world, Waikiki Beach
2. Pearl Harbor – Get a taste of history by visiting the memorial at Pearl Harbor. When you visit Pearl Harbor you’ll get a history lesson as well as a fantastic sight-seeing opportunity.

5. Manoa Falls – This is one of the most serene and beautiful waterfalls that you will find on the entire planet. It is a great spot for pictures and a day of relaxation.

How to get ready for your day trip

The preparation for a day trip is likely the most important part of the trip in order to have the most enjoyable time possible. You need to make sure that you plan the route to the trip because this can greatly impact your travel time. You do not want to end up spending too much time driving during your day trip because that will essentially defeat the purpose of a trip like that.

You also want to make sure that you plan your itinerary for the trip. You might get caught up at one particular point of attraction during the trip which can easily waste a lot of time. Having a set schedule will help you avoid this.

You will also need to pack for the trip properly. You will need the right clothing, which will likely need to be durable because odds are that you will be hiking and/or climbing at some point during your excursion.

Be sure that you also pack the necessary emergency supplies such as a first aid kit, food, water and whatever else you might deem important in case of an emergency. Many of the areas that people tend to visit on a day trip are at least fairly remote. So, help may take a while to reach you if you get into a jam.
 

Advice for taking a day trip

When you are taking a day trip in Hawaii, you will want to make the most of it. Using the following tips to do so:

• Start early – A day trip is exactly that – one day. So, you will want to maximize the amount of time that you’ll have to enjoy the day by starting as early as possible.
• Make sure you have not forgotten anything. – Before you leave for your day trip, take a few moments and double check that nothing has been forgotten.
• Plan ahead – We have already mentioned that planning your trip is one of the most important parts of the trip. This is crucial because this is where you will figure out the day’s itinerary so that no time on the trip is wasted.
• Watch the weather – It is unfortunate if you end up having to postpone your day trip due to weather, however, it is much better than getting caught out in inclement weather and simultaneously needing to cancel the trip. So, use a weather app on your phone or watch the news so that you will know ahead of time what the weather will be like during your trip.

Conclusion

Taking a day trip in Hawaii is the best way to experience the very best of the islands while you are there. However, the success of your day trip is entirely dependent on the amount of planning and preparation that you do prior to the trip. Taking the time to plan out your trip is well worth it as it can take a good day trip and make it even better.

Getting your car waxed and Hawaii’s weather

Getting your car waxed in Hawaii actually solves a few problems. It helps to prevent water spots from rain and will also prevent sun damage. When you have a car in Hawaii, you at a higher risk of both types of damage happening. That is because Hawaii has a lot of rain as well as a bunch of very intense sun.

When you wax your car in Hawaii what happens is that the wax creates a sealant that protects the cars paint from both water spots and sun damage.
 

How to go about getting your car waxed in Hawaii

Getting your car waxed in Hawaii is as easy as getting your car waxed anywhere else in the country. You can take your car to most car washes and have a car wax added on after you get your car washed.

You can also easily wax your car yourself. You can go to a store like Auto Zone, buy the wax and then perform the actual waxing yourself. In order to properly wax your car, you should first wash it or, at the very least, spray it down with water.

Next, you should read the instructions on the particular container of wax that you purchased. Closely pay attention to any directives about the amount of wax to use. Once you do that, you should take the provided pad and apply the recommended amount of wax to it. Then you should rub the wax onto your car’s painted areas in a small circular motion. Be sure that you do not apply the wax to any non-painted areas such as windows or headlights. Continue to wax the car until you have applied the wax evenly to the entire painted area of the vehicle.
 

Advice about getting your car waxed

When you get your car waxed or wax it yourself, there are a couple of things that you should keep in mind:

• Treat the scratches first – If you are going to get your car waxed, be sure that you get the scratches taken care of first. This will help your car get the most out of the waxing.
• Don’t rush the work – A good waxing will take some time so make sure that you are patient.
• Ask for a high quality wax – It will likely cost you a bit more but ask for a high quality wax for your car. The better the wax, the better the waxing.

Final word

Getting your car waxed in Hawaii is much more important than people think. It will prevent damage from the strong weather such as water spots. It will also leave your car looking great and lower the frequency of you having to get your car washed.
