- Use a dry microfiber cloth to wipe away any dust or loose debris from the windows. This step prevents scratching the glass during cleaning.
Step 4: Apply the Cleaner
- Spray a small amount of glass cleaner or your DIY solution directly onto the microfiber cloth (not the window) to avoid overspray on the dashboard or seats.
- For stubborn spots or greasy residue, spray the cleaner directly on the window and let it sit for a few seconds before wiping.
Step 5: Wipe the Window
- Use a microfiber cloth to wipe the window in a vertical motion, followed by horizontal strokes to ensure complete coverage.
- Pay extra attention to corners and edges where grime tends to build up.
Step 6: Buff to a Shine
- Use a second clean and dry microfiber cloth to buff the window until it’s streak-free and clear.
- If you’re using a squeegee, run it from top to bottom to remove any remaining moisture, wiping the blade clean between passes.
Step 7: Repeat for All Windows
- Follow the same process for all inside windows, including the windshield and rear window.
- Don’t forget to clean small windows, such as quarter windows or side mirrors, if applicable.
Additional Tips
- Avoid Ammonia-Based Cleaners: These can damage tinted windows and leave a residue.
- Clean Regularly: Clean your car windows every few weeks to maintain clarity and reduce buildup.
- Use Distilled Water: If you’re in a hard water area, distilled water prevents mineral spots.
- Check for Streaks: Inspect your windows in natural light to ensure they are completely clear.
