How to Clean a Car Windshield Inside

Hand Cleaning Interior Windshield

Most Eugene drivers know how to clean the outside of their windshield, but the inside is a completely different process. However, learning how to clean a car windshield inside is quick and simple. First, you’ll need a microfiber towel, glass cleaner, and rubbing alcohol. Then, follow the steps below to increase your windshield visibility and avoid streaks.

How to Clean Inside Car Windows

If it’s becoming increasingly difficult to see out of your windshield in Salem, it’s probably time for a cleaning. Take a look at these steps to getting a crisp and clear windshield interior:

  1. Wipe down the windshield with a microfiber cleaning cloth. This will remove any dirt or residue from the glass.
  2. Spray your preferred type of glass cleaner on the microfiber cloth and wipe down the inside of the windshield. This should remove any remaining grime that’s on the glass.
  3. Apply rubbing alcohol to a clean microfiber cloth and wipe down the window’s interior. The rubbing alcohol will get rid of any grease buildup on the glass to increase visibility.
  4. Another round of glass cleaner or a glass polish applied at the end can help give the window even better transparency.

Can You Use Windex On Car Windows?

A frequent question we’re asked by Corvallis drivers is: ‘can you use Windex on car windows?’ The answer is yes, you can use Windex on car windows safely. Even though some say that it’s not safe to use Windex on tinted windows, there’s no evidence that Windex with ammonia causes issues. However, if your windows were tinted by a third party, it might be best to take precautionary measures and avoid Windex. But if they were tinted at the factory, you won’t have to worry about any damages. When you’re using Windex inside of the car, you’ll want to be careful, especially if you have leather seats; Windex can dry out the leather or discolor it. Contact our service center if you’re ever in doubt about what products to use.
