How to Clean the INSIDE of Your Windshield With No Streaks (Easy Hacks)

[@brandonnguyen1486]

That glass cleaner, and glass cleaner in general won't fully get rid of the film on the inside of the windshield. It's from all the chemicals off gassing from the interior material.

[@alizod81]

Smoking and especially vaping cause a significant amount of visible residue on interior glass surfaces.

[@ChemicalGuys]

Yes, that is correct. Using these tips will help you remove all streaks from glass! Thanks for watching and thanks for being part of the Chemical Guys family!

[@Jennifer-nz2ss]

Ewwwwwww 😝 gross!

[@dorothyk1925]

Really great tips! Thanks for the info. BTW, your streak free glass cleaner and microfiber cloth work great!

[@robertjordan2041]

Good Morning This was very very helpful,Thank you.

[@ChemicalGuys]

Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@mikeb9763]

I noticed that microfiber towels leave fibers behind on the windshield and when the sun hits it you can really tell they are there. Any tips?

[@tonylevine2716]

Don’t use microfiber as he stated at the beginning.

[@mikeb9763]

@@tonylevine2716 but the towel he uses is still microfiber except it has a waffle pattern.

[@j0cr0z]

i’ll share a trade secret.. use a light on the inside of the car to see streaks.

[@ChemicalGuys]

Yes, that is correct, but what happens if you don't have a light. We try to do our videos to cater to everyone. Some people may have a powerful light others don't. But yes, that is a great tip thanks for sharing!

Love how they rubbed butter inside the glass.

[@ChemicalGuys]

Sounds like you never cleaned glass where people vape or smoke.

​@@ChemicalGuys I'm still waiting for the "hacks" portion your click bait title said. All I heard was a whole bunch of talking about common sense stuff 🤨

@@ChemicalGuys😂 I certainly have. You guys just always have exaggerated content and click bait. Thanks for the reply, keep up the marketing!

[@1uncheels]

I wish somebody could tell me how to clean/rehab the clear plastic parts covering my speedometer, clock, etc.

[@ChemicalGuys]

Great suggestion for a video - stay tuned!

[@ebresee]

The film on the inside of the glass is partially caused by off gassing of interior protection/ shine products.

[@ChemicalGuys]

It can be a big factor of using wrong dressing, vaping, smoking, but if you use these tips you can clean any glass.

[@druegillis1744]

Also from the vinyl and plastic outgassing from the dash. When the sun hits, the material heats up and starts to deteriorate.

[@Jennifer-nz2ss]

Looks like it was just pollen!? and outgassed gunk whick both can make you pretty sick! Keep it clean guys.

[@richlaue]

Sometimes the oil on the inside is from a freon leak

[@ChemicalGuys]

Good point!

[@BarbaraWoodall]

Film?? Usually the sun pulls the Armor All or or?? onto the glass. Rubbing compound the only real fix.

[@rubyv7231]

I can’t see shit 😂😂just stocked up on my walffle towels not too long ago!

[@ChemicalGuys]

😆

[@jasonabrunner]

probably vapes.

[@ChemicalGuys]

😬

[@verne5]

Actual answer: when sunlight/UV light beats down on the vinyls of the interior ,the vinyls give off something known as off gas. Off gas has a high surface tension characteristic. This is why the film is so uniform across the interior windshield.. You need a very mild abrasive / magic eraser with a decent glass cleaner to break it down … then polish it up. ( tyvm CF)

[@MoSportsUSA]

Actually, you don't need anything abrasive. Off-gassing compounds may be stubborn but wiping with acetone first will easily remove these compounds before using a competent glass cleaner, I tend to prefer Zep Foaming Glass Cleaner.

[@HDHQDIRECT]

Answer is Squeegee. Forget all the sprays, and special rags. Use some citrus based degreasing soapy water, get a mild scrubber you would use for dishes and wash the windows. While still soapy and wet Squeegee it off and wipe any drips. I'll never waste my time again trying to buff out the streaks with microfiber cloths... Squeegees eliminate the whole problem.

[@bradleyw1989]

That's good for an average home job. I find window cleaner, on cheese/mutton cloth to wet wipe the window, then microfiber to wick up moisture to eliminate every possible smudge or streak mark. I do professional detailing, and the standard is "every square inch of that glass, prestine".

[@rubygilmore1004]

Try vinegar in with that soapy water.

[@judycrisenbery2982]

Or alcohol

[@davidthomits544]

Back in the day I used newspaper to clean a windshield when detailing a car

[@willg.5168]

Yup and that STILL works!

[@bajan29]

I still do that today and windshield is super clean

[@Jennifer-nz2ss]

Most people don't know what a newspaper is now. Lol😮

[@Lubo1970]

Lights and glasses are very important for safety driving everybody should clean it the perfect way Good luck

[@ChemicalGuys]

Yes, that is correct!

[@red2965]

Glad you decided to re-clean off those finger smudges you applied when proving your point.

[@tomchapman1485]

Why is the direction to wipe significant?

[@hairyplotter1121]

So if the streaks are vertical you know it’s outside and if they are horizontal it is inside

[@limited50scla]

Yup, learned this trick from the Lowrider magazine 20 plus years ago….

[@ChemicalGuys]

Hey! This will allow you to see where the streaks are coming from.
