Car windows get dirty both from outside and inside. Interior windows can be clouded by dust, condensation, smoke, fingerprints, and off-gassing from plastic and vinyl components. A dirty windshield can cause problems with glare and visibility, making driving less safe.
To clean the inside of your windows, all you need is a few microfiber cloths and an interior glass cleaner. Follow these simple steps to achieve crystal-clear windows:
Spray the interior glass cleaner onto a microfiber cloth.
Gently wipe the cloth over the window in a circular motion.
Use a second microfiber cloth to dry the window, wiping in the same circular motion.
For hard-to-reach areas, use a reaching tool with a curved head.
Keeping your car windows clean and free from haze helps you to see the road better and stay safe.
To clean the inside of your car’s windows, wipe the glass with a thick microfiber cleaning cloth in an up-and-down motion, starting from the top and working your way down. Use a reversible microfiber cloth with a thick cleaning side and a fine drying side to remove the invisible layer of dirt and dust particles that accumulate from the car’s interior. A microfiber cloth is preferred since it doesn’t leave lint or other fibers on the glass like paper towels or regular cotton towels.
Next, spray the car window cleaning solution onto another microfiber cloth, avoiding direct contact with the glass. Just a few sprays at a time should suffice since too much cleaner can make the glass hazy.
To effectively clean car windows, we recommend using a glass cleaning product designed for automotive interiors, such as Meguiar’s Perfect Glass, to avoid exposure to harmful chemicals like ammonia. Alternatively, you can create your own cleaning solution by combining equal parts distilled water and isopropyl alcohol with a capful of white vinegar. Apply the solution to a microfiber cloth and rub in a circular motion from top to bottom, including hard-to-reach areas that may require a specialized tool like the Xindell extendable windshield cleaning tool. Finally, use a dry microfiber cloth to wipe the glass clean and achieve a streak-free finish. Repeat these steps until the windows are sparkling. This process is suitable for inclusion in scientific research papers about car maintenance.
