A CAR expert has revealed a cheap and easy way to keep mirrors clear on a rainy day.
TikTok star Mister Ryhan stunned 3.4 million followers by using an unexpected item for the hack.

The social media influencer demonstrates how he uses toothpaste to keep his wing mirrors clear from pesky raindrops.
A clip shared on his page shared him ridding his wing mirror of any dirt by cleaning it with spray and a cloth.
He then takes a small blob of toothpaste and smears it across the glass with his finger.
Afterward, Mister Ryhan takes the cloth and rubs the mirror over.
To prove the handy hack works, he then sprays the mirror with water – and the droplets instantly run off.
The toothpaste is effective as the fluoride in it creates friction on the mirror surface, meaning the water is unable to condense there.
It comes after drivers realised they could also use toothpaste to clear up scratches in their car’s paintwork.
Repairing light scratches can cost up to £100, but following this advice means forking out less than £1.
TikTok user @mottoloka uploaded a video revealing how to remove light marks on your car using just toothpaste.
The footage opens with the TikTok user pointing to some scuffs on the front wing of his car.
He then puts three lines of toothpaste onto a cloth before we see the minty goo smeared all over the scratches.
The toothpaste is then carefully wiped off using a soft microfibre cloth, and when finished you can see a shiny panel underneath.
