How to Clean a Car Windshield Inside

When you’re driving around the Bayside area, you want to have the best visibility possible for your safety and the safety of others on the road. While most drivers already know how to clean the outside of their windshield, cleaning the inside can be a bit tricky. When you need to clean the inside of your windshield, you’ll need the following materials: a microfiber towel, glass cleaner, and rubbing alcohol. Then, read this guide by the service experts at North Bay Cadillac to learn how to clean your car windshield, as well as how to clean inside your car windows.

How to Clean Inside Car Windows and Car Windshields

If you’ve been noticing that your Manhasset surroundings are getting blurry, it may be time to clean the inside of your car windshield. Here’s how to clean your car's windshield and windows:

1. Wipe down the glass with a microfiber cleaning cloth, as this will remove any grime or dirt on the glass.
2. Spray the microfiber cleaning cloth with your preferred brand of glass cleaner, then wipe down the interior of the windshield. This should take off any remaining substances that are still on the windshield.
3. Apply rubbing alcohol to a clean microfiber cloth and wipe down the inside of the windshield and windows. Rubbing alcohol cuts any grease build-up on the glass and greatly improves visibility.
4. Use one last round of glass cleaner or glass polish to give the windows even better transparency.

Can You Use Windex on Car Windows?

As long as it’s used safely, you can use Windex on car windows. Some people may advise drivers not to use Windex on tinted windows, but there’s no evidence that Windex with ammonia negatively affects the tinted glass. Although, if your windows were tinted by a third party, it’s best to be safe and not use Windex; if they were tinted at the factory, you won’t have any issues. Roslyn drivers who are using Windex inside of their vehicles should try to avoid getting the cleaner on leather seats, as it can dry out or discolor the leather. Nevertheless, you can always reach out to our service experts at 866-237-6865 and ask if your cleaning products are safe.

Additional Tips on How to Clean a Car Windshield Inside

If you still have spots on the interior of your window, make sure to follow these steps:

• Use a microfiber cleaning cloth instead of paper towels. Microfiber cloths don’t leave small paper fibers behind like paper towels, and they’re also less likely to leave streaks.
• Use a reach-and-clean tool to reach the corners of the windshield.
• Move the microfiber cleaning cloth in a circular motion when cleaning, but then wipe vertically at the end to remove streaks.
• This cleaning process can be used with all interior windows, not just the windshield.
