Why proper glass cleaning matters

Dirt, dust, insect traces, and streaks on the windshield reduce visibility, especially at night or in bright sunlight. Clean glass directly affects driver safety and comfort.

Required materials

Prepare the following for effective cleaning:

• Microfiber cloths (2–3 pieces).
• Glass cleaner (ammonia-free, safe for paintwork).
• Water or antifreeze (depending on the season).
• Soft sponge for stubborn dirt.

Step-by-step instructions

Follow these steps for the best results:

1. Preparation:
• Wash the glass in the shade to prevent the cleaner from drying too quickly.
• Rinse off heavy dirt with water or washer fluid (outside surface).
2. Cleaning:
• Apply the glass cleaner to the microfiber cloth, not directly to the glass, to avoid streaks.
• Wipe the outside horizontally and the inside vertically.
3. Removing stubborn stains:
• Use a sponge with a little water for insect marks or resin.
• If necessary, use vinegar diluted with water (1:1).
4. Final polishing:
• Use a dry microfiber cloth to remove any remaining cleaner.

Useful tips

• Change cloths regularly to avoid spreading dirt.
• Avoid household cleaners — they leave streaks.
• Check wiper blades to prevent scratches.
• Clean the glass every 1–2 weeks to maintain clarity.

Proper windshield cleaning takes 5–10 minutes but greatly improves driving safety and comfort.
