Bugs, dirt and other grime can quickly accumulate on your windshield. A dirty windshield can obstruct your view while driving and make your car look dingy. Fortunately, there are a wide variety of products and techniques that will leave your windshield clean and streak-free. Keeping your vehicle windshield clean is an easy, yet extremely important, way to make your vehicle safer for you and other drivers on the road.

1、Cleaning the Outside of the Windshield，Removing Dirt and Debris

If you prefer, you can just leave the vehicle off and lift the blades up from the base of the windshield. Some vehicles lock the blades in the down position when the vehicle is off, though.

You can also clean the wipers by gently lifting them up and reaching under the blades without propping them up.

Clean your wiper blades every 3-6 weeks if you aren’t having any problems just to keep them clean. However, you may need to clean them earlier if water streaks in both directions when you turn the wipers on or if your wipers start sticking or scraping when it’s raining and you turn the wipers on.

2．Spray half the windshield with diluted glass cleaner. Before spraying any glass cleaner, ensure that the area beneath them gets cleaned as well. Leave them in the “up” position for the duration of the cleaning process.

You could choose to spray either the left or right side first. Spray in such a way that you cover the broadest possible area of that portion of the windshield which you intend to wipe first. Two or three squirts of cleaner is usually enough. If your windshield is very large, use four or five squirts of glass cleaner, as needed.

3.Wipe the glass clean with straight vertical wipes. Use a microfiber cloth to clean your windshield. Hold the cloth and extend your arm to the upper center of the windshield and bring it straight down along the central vertical line of your windshield. Return your hand to the top of the windshield but slightly towards the side of the windshield you’re standing on. Wipe another vertical line down parallel to the first. Continue to wipe the windshield in this way, moving progressively closer to the side of the windshield you’re located on, until it has been completely wiped.
If you have a hard time leaning over the front of your vehicle to access the central areas of your windshield, use a step-stool to gain some height.

4.Wipe the glass clean with straight horizontal wipes. When you’ve completed a vertically-oriented wipe-down, begin a horizontally-oriented wipe-down. Starting again at the upper center of the windshield, drag the microfiber towel straight out toward the edge of the windshield you’re standing on. Then, wipe another, parallel row toward the same edge, beginning just below the first row. Continue in this manner until the half of the windshield you chose to start on is completely cleaned.

5.Repeat the process on the other side. Once finished with one side of the windshield, repeat the process to clean the other half. For instance, if you began by wiping horizontal and vertical lines on the right side of the vehicle, move to the left side in order to complete the cleaning process. This ensures the entire windshield gets clean.
If you need to go over a certain spot more than once, wipe over it with a straight back-and-forth motion.
Do not clean using circular motions as if you’re buffing the surface. This action could leave streaks.

6.Buff the windshield. While the first wipe-down was intended to clean the glass cleaner off the windshield and remove excess grime, buffing the windshield is essentially moving your hand in a circular motion. Exchange the towel you used to wipe off the glass cleaner with a clean one.Depending on the size of your windshield, you might need several clean microfiber towels. Move your hand in a tight circular motion around the surface of the windshield. Start on one side of the vehicle, then move to the other side to ensure the entire surface of the windshield gets buffed.
Your windshield should sparkle like a fresh-cut diamond.
