How to Clean Car Windscreens

No matter how careful you are the car windscreen is going to get dirty. On the outside it could be dirt, mud or even ice. On the inside it will be the kids or the pets that dirty it up for you. The kids will leave you smeared hand prints while the animals will leave you their nose and tongue marks. Do not panic everything can be removed rather easily.

In order to clean the outside of the car windscreen you will need three things. Grab the automotive glass cleaner, some cloths and the white vinegar. Spray the glass with the glass cleaner, hose off then dry it off. Now put a little of the white vinegar on a dry towel and rub it on the windscreen. This is to ensure there is no haze or anything left on that you may not have gotten off.

If you are driving your car and some mud flips up on the windscreen instead of pulling over and cleaning it off by hand simply pull the signal arm forward. This will make the washer fluid squirt out and your wiper blades to turn on for a few seconds. This will remove anything out of your vision until you have time to stop and clean the windscreen properly and get everything off.

In the winter many people will tell you different ways to remove the ice from your windscreen. Some of these ideas are a CD or a credit card, you might actually succeed with either of these but more than likely you will bust them and be left with scratches on the windscreen. The proper way for removing ice is with de-iced and an ice scraper that is properly made for the screen. If time permits starting the car in advance and turning the defrosters on will work also.

Let’s talk about how to clean the inside of the car windscreen. The easiest way would be with glass cleaner and a clean cloth. Squirt the cleaner on then immediately wipe it back off in a circular motion. If you are out of glass cleaner you can use vinegar and newspapers. The vinegar will cut through just about anything. Squirt the vinegar on then grab some newspaper and fold in half. Use the newspaper to wipe the vinegar off. The reason for the newspaper is because the ink actually helps keep the haze away and makes for a more streak free windscreen. When you are all done you might want to open your windows a little bit so the car can air out.

Whether you need to clean the outside or the inside of the car windscreen you now have a few different techniques you can try. If done properly none of them will hurt your screen.
