I'm looking for an easier way to clean the inside of the windshield.?

Question

I find it hard to do the contortions necessary to clean the inside of my windshield. Is there some device already made which will make that job easier? The combination sponge/squeegee really can't get into the corners or bottom. What I'd really like is a button to push! :-)

Answer 1

i device called the glass wizzard. it was one of those things they sell at the "as seen on tv" store. i think they have it on qvc, too. its a handle with a diamond shaped head that can easily get into the corners of the windshield. so handy!

I have an old spray container I put a 50-50 mixture of vinegar and water. I sit in the passenger's seat and lightly spray half the windshield - the rear view mirror is the dividing line.
I then take 3 or 4 individual newspaper pages and crumble them into a big soft mitt and wipe dry - glass glows.

I exit the car and go to driver's position and repeat the process - the same paper can be used again if your original spray job was gentle one like a light mist

I use the same elixir on all the glass in my home - I just throw in an ounce of windshield fluid to give th appearance of the big-name products so I don't confuse it with the 100% vinegar spray bottle I use on the weeds in my cement walk and driveway - it itakes 2-3 days for the weeds to pass away but for the price its well worth the wait.

The best thing to use to clean a windshield or any glass requiring cleaning is a newspaper. Use Armorall window cleaner from Auto Zone / Advance Auto / WalMart and a wadded up newspaper. The newspaper conforms to the curves in the glass and it doesn't leave lint like cloth or paper towels do.

Step 1. Use a wet, not damp, wash cloth or hand towel you keep for that purpose in a plastic zip-lock bag inside your travel trunk. Allow the water to soften the dried-on bugs. Work crosswise and up and down; if you use a circular motion, you tend, unconsciously, to increase the rag pressure and scrub harder than you need to. Also, if there's any grit on the cloth to gouge the surface, circular scratches are more annoying to the eye than straight ones. (By the way, I don't use diaper material because the tightness of the weave tends to pick up and retain grit.) Soft terry cloth is the best for the initial soaking and wiping.
Step 2. With the windshield still wet, sparingly spray on some of Sumner Laboratories' product called 210?. Using clean tee-shirt material, gently wipe the windshield dry, again, using straight back-and-forth motions. Sumner's 210? is available through many motorcycle and plastic supply houses It's specifically formulated for use on Lucite or Lexan. Besides being anti-static and anti-fog, it helps seal the pores of plastic and leaves a protective coating. From Tulsa Enterprises, a seven-ounce can of 210? costs $6.50 plus shipping. Sumner Laboratories' 210? Plus scratch remover can improve lightly scratched surfaces. As with any product you've not tried before, do a test sample in a small (preferably out of the line of sight) area of the windshield to see if it makes things better or worse.
Of course, in the final analysis, for severely scratched and pitted windshields, the best thing to do is start over with a fresh one, promising yourself to give it better care than you gave the last one. Just as investing in a fresh set of motorcycle tires makes a world of difference in how your motorcycle rides, by making the relatively small investment for a new windshield, you can improve your whole outlook on life!

Answer 5

Sorry to break it to ya, but there's no easy way of cleaning the inside of your windshield. I do suggest to get a micro-fiber cloth and a quality window cleaner so the job will be easier since a combination of both of those things leaves less streaking.

Answer 6

Try a swiffer duster and spray windex on it then wipe the inside of the windshield. It shouldn't leave streaks or anything. I ran into the same problem a while ago.

Answer 7

Windex and paper towels will work fine but don't try it when the shield is hot or directly in the sun. If it doesn't come out good the first time, start over with new paper towels.

Answer 8

Go to any auto parts store and get something called Clear-Vue professional Strength auto glass cleaner or get some amonia and dilute 50/50 with water.

Answer 9

Old secret, use windex and regular newpapers , balled up ,, newspapers dont leave streaks. The ball form fits the corners better .

Answer 10

The armor all wipes were a waste of money. I pay to get it done. I hope sombody has a better answer. I've learned to turn my head when I sneeze (note to you, don't ever ride in my front passenger seat).
