While cleaning your car windows isn’t exactly the most glamorous part of detailing, it is certainly one of the most important when the rest of your vehicle is shining.

Window Cleaner

Tips to get your glass sparkling:

• Clean out of direct sunlight: Ever see those little white streaks after you’re done cleaning? That’s probably the cleaning agents from your window cleaning formula which have dried on the surface. Be sure to clean on an overcast day or in the shade. Clean on an overcast day or in a shaded location.

• Use a low pile microfiber towel: Outside of the actual window cleaning product, your selection of a high-quality microfiber towel is perhaps the most important factor in streak-free window cleaning.

• Clean the interior windshield from the passenger seat: For easier access to the windshield, sit in the passenger seat. You’ll avoid having to contend with the steering wheel which will ensure that all areas are cleaned.

• Use the back of your hand for cleaning the windshield: To give yourself a bit more leverage and cleaning power, put the microfiber on the back of your hand and press against the glass. This will also allow you to reach those top and bottom corners more easily.

• For interior windows, spray on the towel first: When cleaning interior windows (especially the windshield) be sure to spray your microfiber towel first. This will help avoid overspray onto previously cleaned areas, and keep the cleaner off the dashboard.

• Roll down your windows: To reach the top sections of glass, be sure to roll down your windows about halfway. This will allow easier access and ensure all sections are cleaned.

• Work methodically and don’t rush the process: Many people mistakenly believe they can simply sprits down the glass and quickly buff clean. Unfortunately you will end up rushing the process and most likely end up with poor streaky results. Taking your time to slowly and methodically clean each window will pay dividends at the end of your cleaning process.

• Use the right product: Select a product designed specifically for cleaning automotive glass. Traditional household cleaners can contain ammonia which will damage any coatings or tint on the glass.
