Tips or Tricks to cleaning the inside of your windows? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

dt98gsr · 08-26-2007, 03:07 PM

The inside of the windows in my car have been pretty dirty recently and I have tried a few different ways of cleaning them and I haven't had much luck.

Its just one of those things I always dread doing and I was wondering if you could offer any tips or tricks on how to do it.

I have tried paper towels and Windex but that either leaves the paper towel residue or streaks from the Window cleaner.

I have also tried Ammonia (sp?) and paper towels and or a small squeegie and that seemed to work a little better but not much.

I was just wondering if there was a glass cleaner or a squeegie or clothe you would reccomend using?

Thanks for any help in advance.

Hi Dave,
Personally, I use one or two microfiber glass towels and spray n wipe to clean my windows. I love the outcome! Stoners invisible glass is another product option that you can find locally. I believe the mf glass towels really make a big difference though. Heres a link to the two items that I use on all the cars I detail. Let me know if you'd like me to elaborate on anything else

oh, and if you're having trouble reaching the bottom of the windshield, you can always use one of the rubber spatulas used for mixing cooking ingredients. Just put the mf glass towel around it and run it along the bottom of the glass

you can actually use an old claybar on your windows. i tried it a few days ago and it worked great.
besides that, trying wiping them off with news paper instead of paper towels.

yea, clay will definitely work on the outside. No need to use it on the inside really though. And yea, newspaper can work as well, but I dont like it much on tints and stuff.

i just use the foam spray and a microfiber towel that you can get at pepboys and mine come streak free and very clean
