Title: Cleaning inside windscreen?
Post by: adekil on 09 March 2015, 18:42

Sorry but wasn't sure where to post this or how many times this has been asked before...

Looking for the best product and method to clean the inside front windscreen without leaving swirl marks or smudges?

I usually leave it alone as I change cars often but the screen is quite bad at the moment and any haze shining through impairs vision a lot.

Any decent glass cleaner- try Angel Wax Vision or Dodo Juice Clearly Menthol. Apply with a microfibre and buff with another.

It's been around for ages but you can't beat Autoglym Car glass polish, my only tip would be just to use a very small ammount.

Cleaning the inside windscreen always one of my least favourite jobs.  Imo not all car glass cleaners are equal.  They vary greatly and some leave residue no matter how well you wipe off and this only becomes apparent in hazy or night time driving conditions when you realise you can't see a thing.

After a recommendation on here, I switched to Autoglym Fast Glass (used to use Auto Finesse Crystal with mixed results).  Best results I ever had using the AG.  It just works, no smears, smudges, and effortless to buff off. 

Also a dedicated glass cloth makes a lot difference as they have more 'bite' than a normal microfibre.  I can highly recommend the WoWo Glass Cloth or a DoDo Juice Waffle Weave Glass Cloth.  If I had to pick then the WoWo just edges it.

Another vote for AG Fast Glass here.

It also doesn't matter about the overspray on the dash. In fact you can also use it to dust your dashboard plastics, leaving no traces of product behind.

Thanks all, just placed an order for some Wo-Wo cloths and AG spray  :smiley:

So with Wo-Wo I get 4 microfibre cloths and 1 glass cloth, I assume I spray onto window and use glass cloth then wipe afterwards with the microfibre cloths?

I would spray on and distribute using microfibre cloth and then wipe off using the dedicated glass cloth.

Thanks all for the encouraging feedback!

With regard new products, you guys on the forum will hear about it first! With my old Ginge35Edition guise I have lots of loyalties and firends on here too!

You'll love our next mitt to be added to the range:- a dedicated deep pile MF wheel wash mitt, no more cut knuckles from brake guards, and always clean rims behind those spokes.

Watch this space!!!!

Sorry OP forgot to add, I'd apply with the microfibre red cloth and then buff off with the White glass cloth. IMO these cloths get better after they've been used for a few times.

Cheers

My go to for glass - inside or out is G Techniq G6 and a microfibre madness cloud buster. Can't be beat in my opinion.

Good to know.  Really good glass cleaner and tyre dressing have always been the two products that have eluded me.  I've tried a few.  Sorted with tyre dressing now and AG Fast Glass does a decent job but might give this a go when I run out of that.

Some good reviews of the G6 on detailing world too.

I've got AG Fastglass to but much prefer G6. For tyre dressing try Gyeon Tyre - also does a great job on window and door seals.

I'll try G6 next time and not just for car glass, have a lot of windows in our house so get through lots of glass cleaner, and if it's good enough for the car  :wink:

I'm finally sorted on the tyre dressing front now but cheers for the recommendation.
