How to Clean a Glass Windshield
Properly cleaning your car windshield is an easy task that you should perform regularly. A clean windshield means clearer visibility while you are driving. This is important for your safety and for the safety of your passengers and others driving around you.
Things You Will Need to Clean a Glass Windshield:
- Glass cleaner
- Paper towels
- Microfiber rags
- Newspaper
- Disposable gloves
- Saturate your windshield. Spray the outside of your front and back windshields with glass cleaner. Saturate them both, allowing the glass cleaner to sit for a few minutes to assist with bug and dirt removal.
- Wipe away goop. After leaving the glass cleaner on for at least five minutes, wipe away any large clumps of goop from your windshield with disposable paper towels.
- Buff the glass. Use the microfiber rags to finish wiping the entire glass windshield, buffing out any streaks or smudges as you are cleaning.
- Clean the wiper blades. To keep your windshield clean, you will need to wipe down your windshield wiper blades too. Spray some glass cleaner onto a paper towel, wipe them clean, and then dry them.
- Clean the inside glass. When cleaning the inside of the windshield, using the combination of glass cleaner and newspaper is a better solution. Wear disposable gloves to avoid getting ink on your hands. Lightly spray the inside of the windshield, and buff the glass with newspaper. Newspaper is excellent for removing streak marks and smudges from glass, plus it never leaves traces of lint. If you smoke in your car, newspaper also works well to remove nicotine residue from glass.
