How to Super Clean the INSIDE of Your Windshield (No Streaks)

[@lav6978]

I was just thinking yesterday "I wish I knew how to get the inside of my windshield really clean." Having been driven to distraction with the glare of headlights at night through my dirty, streaky windshield I have sworn off driving at night except when absolutely necessary. It is just dangerous. I worried about hitting a pedestrian or bike rider dressed in dark clothing as I have come close to doing just that and it scared the hell out of me. Then today, as if by magic, this video popped up in my recommended KZbin feed. Felt like I had won the windshield cleaning lottery. Thank you so very much!

Dish Washing Liquid mixed with water, or for extra cleaning power: Dish Washing Liquid mixed with diluted White Vinegar (two parts water/one part vinegar). (Works on all glass products, oils, and soapscum) For shower glass, combine a plastic body sponge (Loofah) with regular steel wool and squirt mixture onto it during showering. While showering scrub the wet glass with circular motions. (Too much pressure not necessary.) (As long as the glass is amply wet then there is little chance of scratching shower glass.) Cleaning soapscum window never been easier. (If not all of the soapscum is removed the first time: Just repeat again during your next shower. Chrome plated ware: Use mixture with a toothbrush, or just a plastic body sponge (Loufa) (Which also helps clean baths; plastics and porcelain without damaging the enamel coatings.) I hope this all helps you for a lifetime...

3:05 A great alternative to your back hand method, especially for those who might not be physically able to do that, is to use a wooden paint mixing stick. If you fold your microfiber cloth in half, and then in half again, but this time having the cloth between the layers of cloth, point the stick towards the glass, not parallel, you will have an easy way to reach deep down towards where the glass and dash meet. When doing your final step on the interior, use a vertical wiping pattern, then on the exterior glass, for your final step, use a horizontal wiping pattern. This will allow you to see which side of the glass has the streaking, and it makes it super easy to remove, even in daylight.

[@thombrackett]

Mr Fix. Great video. Thank you for sharing. I think you might have gone a little extreme suggesting that if the microfiber touches the dash you have to start with a new one, but I agree with your overall concept. I would add to that to remind people that if they wash and reuse their microfiber, do NOT use fabric softener. It causes the same problem. It deposits oils in the cloth to keep them soft which will also make them streak. Newsprint is another great way to clean glass if you finish it off with a clean microfiber.

[@savannah469]

i've been bothered by my dirty windshield for MONTHS and no matter how much i cleaned the exterior windshield...it wouldn't get cleaned. i never thought it was the INSIDE until my grandmother told me it was the inside of my windshield. this video showed me how to do it PROPERLY and i'm so happy with this video

Thank you so much for the tutorial. I did everything you explained step by step and my windshield has never been so clean, it looks brand new.

[@billclark8241]

Yeah that's exactly what I was about to say when you showed how to clean that window you don't put anything on the dash to stop the microfiber towel from getting the oily protectant on it. So glad you mentioned it later. Also many people have 10 on their front window inside windows I don't know what state you live in but these videos you make should apply to everybody. I'm surprised there's not many people that don't know how to clean the windshield but evidently there are so on their behalf thank you.

[@tonyb2337]

Worked very well. I did use paper towels for the first 2 steps and a microfiber towel for the glass cleaner. I used 90% isoprophol alcohol and it had a dramatic effect. Thanks again.

Purely as a matter of interest, I just cleaned the inside of my windscreen, which was badly streaked from a previous unsuccessful attempt using Windex. All I did was spray some 100% isopropyl alcohol onto a paper towel and wiped it lightly in a circular motion and then vertically and horizontally. I don't think I needed to but I then wiped the whole thing over with a new, dry micro-fibre glass cloth, again doing circles and then criss-cross. It was pretty much effortless and although I haven't yet tried it in direct sunlight, it looks spotless. I was amazed at how easy it was. I had bought a magic eraser and some rainx interior glass cleaner (which seems to be mainly isopropyl alchohol) but I don't think I'll need all that stuff. It was your tips that made me use the alcohol, so thanks!

Another GREAT instructional car maintenance video from Chris Fix!! Thanks for posting and sharing!! UPDATE: I used this method today while detailing my car, the windows turned out spectacular!!! I used an IPA instead of a magic eraser. Windows look AWESOME!!!

[@walterkruse348]

Tried this out. A few thoughts: 1. He's absolutely right about not letting the magic eraser liquid dry on the glass. I found it best to do a section of the window and then immediately wipe dry. 2. That said, I was having a hard time using microfiber cloths to do this. They just weren't absorbing the liquid fast enough and I wound up with lots of streaks. However, it's possible I ruined mine by washing them improperly. I've heard that liquid laundry detergents can interfere with moisture wicking in athletic clothes; could be the same for these types of towels. Fabric softeners will do the same, though I didn't use any on my towels. Anyway, just stick with paper towels; they'll work fine for this part. 3. Early morning or afternoon are great times to do this. Low-angle sunlight will show those greasy streaks just as well, if not better, than bright lights at night. Just park somewhere the sun will be in your eyes and have at it. Good luck! Edit: Yup, ruined my microfiber by washing them with cotton towels and probably also by putting them in the dryer. Apparently the lint clogs up the fibers and heat damages them. Lesson learned for next time.

[@michaelfredmon4748]

Is that because it might leave a residue if you do the entire windshield before wiping dry?

[@walterkruse348]

@@michaelfredmon4748 Yeah. The magic eraser liquid dries too much by the time you get to the end, and it leaves a residue. Then again, I live in a dry climate, so it's probably particularly bad here. Your mileage may vary.

@Walter - Use white vinegar in the softener dispenser. You will not be disappointed. I only use liquid detergent, but just the basic stuff from COSTCO. Never had an issue with less than absorbent towels.

[@sandypidgeon4343]

Every defensive driving school I went to stressed cleaning the inside windshield everyday - makes a huge difference. Using a sunshield in any weather also helps reduce the off-gassing. Even if you just get a few paper towels and some windex each day or week, it will amaze you how much dirt and grease from off-gassing accumulates, even if you don't use a product like Armor-All.. GOD Bless

[@kaotony4068]

This actually helped! I used melamine foam and dishwashing soap. This simple combination cleaned inside of my windshield easily! (I layed some trash bags over the front dash, to avoid the dishwashing soap to drip onto the front dash. Thanks!

[@931tow]

I did this on the windshield of my semi and it works great. One HUGE problem !! The alcohol fumes caused the seal around my windshield to dry up and start leaking profusely after a few months resulting in an expensive repair. The real trick is using the microfiber towels with glass cleaner or plain old water mist and skip the alcohol.

sorry to hear of the problem, presumably, the Magic Eraser would not have caused that problem.

Yes, I always do it about 1hr before the sun goes down so its behind the trees or the house if you cannot find full shade!

I always do it in the middle of the night, with no moon at all, so I can't see a thing.

[@wamxfl1p653]

Some people commented to use newspaper and glass cleaner. I just tried out and it gave me phenomenal results. I just used newspaper and put a little glass cleaner on it, whiped the glass till the glass cleaner wasn't visible anymore and used a clean, dry microfiber cloth to finish it off. No streaks and no hassle with all the products like in the video.

Chris just doesn't realize that you can achieve the same by simply cleaning your windshield...
