Clean the Glass Regularly<\/h2><p>Whenever your car is detailed, whether you do it yourself or have it done professionally, be sure all the glass is cleaned once the rest of the work is done.<\/p><p>Road dirt, bug guts and weather can take a toll on your windshield&#8217;s visibility. Though it may look clean, you may notice spots or a film build up that makes it more difficult to see when driving, particularly in direct sunlight. Also, clean the inside of the glass as well. Putting down a towel to protect your dashboard will catch any excess spray.<\/p><h3>How to Clean Your Windshield<\/h3><p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/316902168\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>Glass.com Operations Manager, Daniel Snow demonstrates how to properly clean your car&#8217;s <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" title=\"windshield\" href=\"https:\/\/www.glass.com\/auto\/windshields\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">windshield<\/a><\/p><h3>What (Not) to Use to Clean Your Windshield<\/h3><p>Those weird tricks like soda and shaving cream probably don&#8217;t work to clean your windshield. And one thing you should definitely stay away from are ammonia-based products. This means most household glass cleaners. Ammonia, including its fumes, can cause damage to plastic, rubber, vinyl and leather. It can also damage the tint on your auto glass. So what is the best way to clean a windshield?<\/p><h3>Quality Cleaners<\/h3><p>Your best bet for a clean windshield is to stick with auto glass cleaners and a good microfiber towel. When you&#8217;re cleaning the glass, interior or exterior, be sure to use one side of the towel for the actual cleaning and the other side to buff out the glass to clear it of any residue.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section

This will prevent the glass from catching any residue caused by cleaning the car. Also, do the work out of direct sunlight, if possible. Direct sunlight causes cleaners to evaporate quickly, and this can leave streaks or marks. Pay close attention to the edges of the glass, especially the top edge, and those hard-to-reach places. If you can\u2019t get your hand and cleaning cloth into those areas, check out your local auto parts store for a hand tool specifically designed for glass cleaning.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section

In turn, you need a keep an eye on them and make sure they are replaced when their effectiveness wears out.<\/p><p style=\"line-height: 29.75px; color: #333333;\">Maintaining your <a href=\"https:\/\/info.glass.com\/think-twice-before-adding-windex-to-your-windshield-wiper-fluid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">windshield should include replacing wipers<\/a> every six months to a year, depending on use and the weather.
