Are you having trouble seeing the road? A windshield cleaning will ensure that you have clear vision and remove grease and grime from your windshield. Clearer vision of the road ahead can be achieved by cleaning the windshield’s interior every few weeks. Your defroster will also work faster and clear away condensation (or ‘fog’) that sticks to a windshield.
What is the secret to my windshield getting so gross?
Your car’s windshield may get dirty from a variety of reasons, including doggie noses, kid fingerprints, smoke, smog, dust, road salts and other environmental contaminants. One of the most common causes is car off gassing. This ‘new car scent’ is caused by various parts of the vinyl and plastic interior. As these components break down, they become trapped in the car, leaving an oily residue on windshield. In most cases, the windshield is perfectly angled so that it captures a lot of the oil. This problem can be worsened by using oily cleaners on your dashboard. The oil can evaporate into a film which further coats the car glass, especially in hot or humid weather.
How to Clean Your Car’s Windshield Interior:
What You Will Need:
- Microfiber rags that are lint-free
- Glass cleaner
- Vinegar
- Drinking alcohol
Cleaning Tips:
- In a spray bottle, mix the solution. The following are popular and highly effective options:
- 50% alcohol, half water, and a cupful of white wine.
- 70% water, 15% cleaner for windows, 15% alcohol.
- *Use an auto specific glass cleaner. Avoid ammonia-based cleaners, which can damage vinyl, leather, or tint.
- To make it easier to access windshield glass, gather all your materials.
- Wipe the glass with a microfiber towel that is dry and clean.
- Next, use a new cloth and rubbing vodka to clean the glass. If you live close enough to the ocean, vinegar can be used to dissolve sea salt.
- Spray glass cleaner on a separate side of the rag or grab a clean rag and rub the glass in circular motions.
- As soon as towels get dirty, change them immediately.
- Finish the glass by using up-and down wiping motions.
Tips for Success:
- Your car’s windshield should be cleaned last after you have washed the exterior of your vehicle and wiped down its interior.
- To prevent window cleaner from vaporizing quickly, it’s best to wipe down windows in the shade and when the temperature is cooler.
- You shouldn’t use rags that you used for cleaning other parts of your windshield. Your windshield could become greasy and oily from wax or other detailing products.
Ensure Your Sparkling Windows Last
Make sure your windshield is clean. This simply keeps your car’s temperature down and allows gasses to escape. Your garage or home should be a shaded place where your car can stay cool. To prevent off-gassing, and buildups of contaminants, crack your car windows.
How to clean rubber around car windows

It’s possible to clean them in just a few simple steps.
- Use car shampoo on the entire trim.
