It acts as your eyes through the long, winding road.

There are varieties of glass cleaners that are available in the market which contain ammonia. Ammonia is a car cleaner ingredient that serves to be good in cleaning glass. There are also glass cleaners that can be found inside your house that can be effective in cleaning. The ingredients for the recipe consist of: vinegar and water with a sprinkle of your car’s detergent. There is a more complex concoction which is composed of sudsy ammonia, dish washing detergent, a gallon of water, and 70% alcohol.

Some detailers would insist that plain water is the best ingredient in cleaning your glass. Even collected rain can become the perfect solution for your glass cleaning.

If you opted to use towels made of paper, don’t choose the ones that have designs or prints on them because this may contribute to slight scratches or smudges on your car’s glass. While you are doing the dry passing, inspect your car’s glass carefully in different angles for missed imperfections and residues that you might have missed. If you have done a good job, you can eliminate the streaks and film sometimes left behind.

Cleaning glass should never be done in direct heat or sunlight, or if you have a “hot” car surface. Make sure that you have several towels in order to have a clean towel for every glass portion to be cleaned.
Now that you know how to clean the glass in your car go get it done.
