Avoid scratches and streaks! Here’s how to properly clean your vehicle windshield from Citiglass experts.
Cleaning your car windshield may look simple—but doing it wrong can cause permanent scratches or haze. Here’s how to clean your glass safely and keep visibility crystal clear:
Tools You’ll Need:
- Microfiber cloth
- Car glass cleaner (ammonia-free)
- Bucket of warm water
- Optional: squeegee
Step-by-Step Cleaning:
- Start with Dusting: Use a dry microfiber cloth to remove dry dust and particles.
- Spray Cleaner: Use a car-safe glass cleaner and spray directly on the glass (not on hot surfaces).
- Wipe Gently: Move in circular motions, then switch to vertical strokes.
- Buff Dry: Use a second clean cloth to dry and buff for a streak-free finish.
What to Avoid:
- Avoid newspaper or paper towels—they scratch!
- Don’t use household glass cleaners with ammonia.
- Don’t clean under direct sunlight (it causes streaks).
