Auto Glass Cleaning Guide
Having clean auto glass not only makes your car looks beautiful, it helps drivers get better visibility to look at traffic signals, other cars and pedestrians. Here are a few tips to do it.
1. Avoid cleaning product that contains ammonia since it acts as a drying agent for plastic and rubber and improper for glass cleaning. However, a solution of vinegar and water will do. Have 1 cup vinegar and 3 cups of water and pour the mix into a dirt free spray bottle. Your window cleaning solution is ready to use.
2. Wash the whole car exterior with soapy water then rinse and dry it. The car windows will need at least 20 minutes to dry completely. Use the window cleaning solution to spray the exterior rear window then wipe it using a microfiber cloth or paper towel. Do it clockwise till all the exterior glass spotless.
3. Use the window cleaning solution to spray consistently across the rear window’s top, let it drip to the window’s bottom. Wipe the window in an up-and-down movement with a microfiber cloth or a paper towel till dry. Clean the window’s top and sides by rolling each window down halfway. Do that in a clockwise motion around the vehicle.
