How to Clean Inside a Car Windshield

One of the most important aspects of owning a new or pre-owned vehicle is maintaining it. Most Gainesville drivers might think of maintenance as doing oil changes and brake services. While those are great maintenance items to stay on top of, cleaning your vehicle is equally as important.

There’s a lot of good service tips and tricks out there about cleaning the exterior of your vehicle and its windows, but what about the interior? Today at Gainesville Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we’re going to provide you with steps on how to clean a car windshield inside and answer, “Can you use Windex on car windows?”

How to Clean Inside Car Windows

Knowing how to clean a car windshield can not only improve how your vehicle looks on the outside, but it’ll also improve interior visibility as well. If you’re driving around Alachua and you’re noticing everything looks blurry and is hard to see, it’s time to clean inside your car windows. If you need assistance, follow these steps to learn how to clean inside car windows:

1. Using a clean microfiber towel, begin wiping down the interior glass to remove any dirt and grime.
2. Spray a glass cleaner directly onto the microfiber towel and wipe down the inside of your glass and windshield to remove any remaining dirt and grime.
3. Use rubbing alcohol on a separate microfiber towel and wipe down the inside of the window. The rubbing alcohol will help to clear any tough-to-remove debris.
4. This last step is optional but another application of glass cleaner or glass polish can help further increase your car’s window visibility.

Car Window Cleaning Tips

While learning how to clean inside car windows, we mentioned using a glass cleaner, so this might have you wondering, “Can you use Windex on car windows?” The answer is mostly yes. Keep reading below to learn other car window cleaning tips before you go running your errands around High Springs:

• Can you use Windex on car windows? There is no evidence that Windex with ammonia causes problems. However, issues might arise if your windows are tinted by a third party so it can be a good idea to skip the Windex here. But, if your windows are tinted from the factory, then yes, you can use Windex to clean car windows.
• Using a microfiber towel vs. paper towels? A microfiber towel will help reduce streaking and eliminates small paper fibers that a paper towel might leave behind.
• When cleaning your windows, use a circular motion when wiping, then wipe vertically at the end to reduce streaking.
• Tools like a “reach-and-clean” tool can assist with cleaning in the corners of your windows.
