Find help: Best materials/products to clean the inside of your car windshield with? - Help.com

Use a squeegee. No streaks. You can steal one from your local gas station… errrrrrrrr I mean buy one at Wally World.

Any product with ammonia (most glass cleaners, like Windex) and newspapers works great. If no newspapers available, you could substitute the coupon junk-mailers. The fibers used for most mass-print newspapers and junk-mailers do a great job of clearing away any schmutz without leaving any streaking.

I use a squeegee on the inside of my windshield… they are the best.

If your current cleaner does not state “ammonia-free” or “safe for tinted windows” you should find another cleaner.

Cobra Waffle Weave towel and Invisible
Glass make a great pair for cleaning
auto & home windows.

NOTE: AVOID HOUSEHOLD GLASS CLEANERS, which almost all contain ammonia. A few examples of tint-safe glass cleaners are; Stoner Invisible Glass, Detailer’s Pro Series Krystal Vision Glass Cleaner, and Meguiar’s NXT Generation Glass Cleaner.
A Tip for Tinted Windows: Use Detailer’s Pro Series Plex-All to polish and protect the window tint. Apply it only to the inside of the glass where tint is visible. It will seal the tint material (Mylar) and keep it clean. Detailer’s Pro Series Plex-All is non-static, non-streaking, and it dries crystal clear.
Some people prefer to use plain water to clean their windows. While this is a very safe method, water is not enough of a solvent to cut the protein base of stubborn spots, like bug remains. However, a glass-cleaning microfiber towel , like the Cobra Waffle Weave Microfiber Glass Towel, will provide a gentle scrubbing action to help remove contamination. Dampen this towel lightly and clean the glass. Then, flip the towel to a dry side and buff to remove every last streak. High quality microfiber is micro-engineered to eliminate lint and is extraordinarily absorbent to prevent streaking.

One hand tool that’s well worth a try is Glass Master Pro-Glass and Surface Cleaner. This long-armed glass scrubber can help you clean your SUV windshield and those hard-to-reach areas at top of the cab windows or your sunroof.

. We highly recommend Detailer’s Pro Series Krystal Vision Glass Cleaner for its non-streaking, film-zapping performance. Wipe up and down and then side to side using long strokes. Flip the towel to a dry side to remove any remaining wetness from the windshield. Do the same on the back window.

Be sure to roll down your windows about half way so you can clean the top edges of the glass.

Whether you clean all of your inside or outside glass first, or if you favor the window-by-window approach, that is your preference.
