The importance of a clean windshield
A clean windshield is vital when it comes to your visibility when driving in rainy weather or rough terrain. While many remember to clean the outside of the car windshield, cleaning the inside of the windshield is equally vital to maintaining your visibility and preventing an accident from occurring.
Step by step method on how to clean the inside of your windshield.
Materials needed:
- Lint-free microfiber cloths.
- A magic eraser or window cleaner
- Water
- Glass cleaner
Step 1.
First, wipe the inside of the windshield with a dry microfiber cloth, as it is less likely to leave debris on the glass. Use a circular motion to wipe the windshield, then wipe vertically. The area where the dashboard and windshield meet can be difficult to reach. To do this, sit with your back facing the rear of the car, then upside down, you should be able to reach even the tightest places.
Step 2.
Next, use a magic eraser or window cleaner to degrease the windshield. To do this, place the magic eraser in warm water to activate it, then begin wiping the glass in a circular motion. Once you are finished with the magic eraser, immediately dry the windshield with a new microfiber towel to avoid moisture spots and grease remaining from the magic eraser. Or you can use a cleaning solution and spray it on a cleaning cloth before wiping the inside of the windshield in the same circular motion.
Step 3.
Once the windshield is dry, use a glass cleaner and spray directly onto a microfiber cloth. Continue wiping in a circular motion and then vertically, similar to the previous steps. Avoid spraying the glass cleaner directly on the glass, as the cleaner droplets may fall on the dashboard and cause discoloration.
To clean the outside of a car windshield, in the OFF (O) position, pull the lever gently toward you to spray washer fluid on the windshield and run the wipers for 1 to 3 cycles.
