Inside windscreen cleaning?

[fUbAr]

Hello,

Seems every time I use the aircon in my car it makes the windscreen greasy after a short while. Why, I don't know... but I'm a fussy b*****d and if there's 1 part of my car I insist on being clean it's the windows.

Outside is sorted, I use AG Glass Polish stuff and AG fast glass... but what about inside? What products to use and how to apply it? Standard issue microfibre?

Ta, Dan.

I use a microfibre for cleaning it weekly, just a quick rub over. It sounds silly, but I pop Rainex on the inside of all of them every so often, which seems to stop them getting so dirty.

 

[fUbAr]

do you use anything on it, or just go in dry?

I use glass/window cleaner stuff on mine and it seems to do the job????

 

[Needster]

Follow the instructions but generally I clean the window first, then spray (if you put it in a spray bottle) or pour it on a cotton cloth (old tshirt works fine) and apply it. It should hazes up after two minutes or so. I then use a wet microfibre and wipe in a circular motion, then a dry microfibre or cotton rag and wipe again the same direction that I did with the wet one. Works a treat. Lasts about two months or so.

 

[fUbAr]

Cheers, I meant the weekly microfibre treatment... just wipe over the screen dry?

Or do you apply the RainX weekly?

 

[Needster]

Just a damp cloth. Barely wet TBH. That seems to keep it reet.

RainX every month or two.

I never use rainx, just heard too many bad reports of people having to, and struggling to, remove it because it goes all foggy and "off".

I use fast glass everytime I clean the car, so once a week. If it starts to look worse than usual I will spend an evening glass polishing them all.

I am the same Dan, took my tints out of the windows for the exact same reason, just didn't look clean enough!!

 

[Needster]

Coke takes it off. Simples.

 

[JD]

LOL! How the hell did you find that out? Looking at photos on my facebook page in the car and spitting the coke out, I'm that good looking?

Oh hai x

 

[Needster]

How did you guess, my sweetums?!

Nah, it's something to do with it removing alcohol - I think. I don't know TBH, but it works. LOL.

/genius!

 

[JD]

Or something to do with Coke removing teeth, grime from pennies, metal, etc etc

Found this dart to do a cracking job.

I use a microfibre waffle weave to apply glass cleaner then a quality microfibre towel to remove

 

[Tom]

Can someone come and clean mine? I haven't cleaned my windscreen on the inside. Ever.

 

[Needster]

I was in my mates car the other night, she'd never cleaned hers either. I used my flip flop to wipe it. It works well on 5" thick smeg.

IPA works well with 2 microfibre cloth use. One to apply and the other to buff off (prevents streeking)

Tom, I'll do it at Trax

 

[Needster]

Are you coming JDiddle?

 

[JD]

Hopefully

 

[Sym0n]

Fast glass and a Dodo Juice Mint Merkin MF. Or if I'm out of FG I go pikie with the old wives tale of vinegar, fairy liquid and warm water plus scrunched up news paper to apply and remove.

 

[JD]

Lol, pikey.

 

[Needster]

Newspaper pwns for cleaning glass.

/KimandAggie.

 

[JD]

Enter I'd pwn you joke here.

 

[alex-avfc]

Never tried that.

QD does fine for me cleaning inside and outside, my optimum stuff leaves them spotless

 

[JD]

QD won't clean, it'll just wipe and not smear fella. Need something a little bit more chemical than that.

/KimandAggie.

agreed, wet/damp newspaper is suprisingly VERY effective!

Mine are never that dirty anyway as they're polished with AG glass polish fairly regularly but cheers :rasp:

 

[RussZS]

Some QD's make good glass cleaners, as they have cleaners in them for paint (finger prints for example), so I'd tend to agree with Alex, but it depends on the QD.

Best bet for interior windscreen is an AG Palm Applicator (blue one) and a decent window cleaner, such as the MarkV one from RubbishBoys. Fast Glass will do though.

Tom, I'll do it at Trax

lol. You'll need a pint of that if you're doing the windows properly. Put some elbow grease into it. :approve:
