filmy windshield inside my car?

Question

I clean inside of my windshield regulary but some how it gets filmy quickly. When i wipe it down, it doesn't leave dirt on cloth but feels more like a thin layer of grease on glass. How do I end this problem once for all?

Answer 1

It's a common problem, caused by the plasticizers in the vinyl upholstery. When the car get hot, they vaporise and condense on the windows. And It's tough to remove. Typical glass cleaners won't budge the stuff. Three suggestions, Clear View window cleaner, hard to find but it works. Glass Wax, you spread it on, let it dry then buff it off. Finally, Brake and parts cleaner, now if you use this you cant touch ANY plastic surface of your car. It will harm it, but it will remove the gunk. Good Luck

Answer 2

Make a thin paste of baking soda and warm water. Apply to the windshield, rubbing gently. Rinse well and buff dry. This is great for getting rid of that greasy film and bug spots.

Keep a spray bottle filled with club soda in the trunk of your car. Use it to help remove bird droppings and greasy stains from the windshield. The fizzy water speeds the cleaning process.

and try Rain X....it will look like this in most auto stores...or any store that carries automotive supplies....(walmart, shopKo...etc.)

Answer 3

Use window air purifier lower back. enable it soak in first, THEN wipe it off. If this does not artwork, attempt a mild degreaser like user-friendly eco-friendly (which will hire a greasy residue), then end cleansing with standard window air purifier.

Answer 4

Someone's smokin' in your car.

OR possibly you have a VERY tiny leak in your heater core. Do your floors get wet? What does this "film" smell like? But this is unlikely. Check your antifreeze level in your radiator, just to be sure. Do it often.

But it sure sounds like someone's smokin' something.
