Cleaning the front windshield glass

[crisante]

Agree with all the above. One tip from Ammo NYC (detailer on YT) is if you’re dealing with some haze on the inside of the window, use straight isopropyl first then IG. The Isopropyl helps remove any residue that sometimes comes from the sun heating up the dashboard.

I use this with a swifter pole to clean my windows inside and out and does an amazing job. No chemical is needed and streak free.

My truck was delivered kind of dirty. I just hopped up on a three step ladder and cleaned it with my hands, microfiber, of kochchemie cleaner. Now I’m realizing I’m going to need one of these pads for the inside. No way I’m fitting on the dash to clean the inside.

Important if you have tinted windshields! These tools are great, but what about the solution? My tint guy says never use anything stronger than what he uses to clean the glass. He uses distilled water with a few drops of baby shampoo (per spray bottle). It will take off any dust or haziness but won't cloud or otherwise damage the tint. Plus whatever gets on your dashboard or plastic won't be sticky or leave a stain when it evaporates.

I have only experienced very poor results with invisible glass.

Instead, I use my wife’s magical solution.

In a spray bottle, I simply put in 1 quart of water (distilled) along with five drops of dawn dish, liquid dishwashing detergent and about half a cup of white vinegar.

Spray and scrub then squeegee or clean with a high and microfibre.

Works like magic.

What is every one using to help clean the front wind shield inside/ and out? I end up getting a long window washer pole to help but looking for better solutions or ideas to help.

I pay someone else to do it. About once a month I pay for a mobile car wash. The rest of the time I wipe the truck down with Sprayway and a micro fiber towel.

I bought this Swiffer and attach a microfiber towel to it: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YQDH1N1?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1

First of do not use on glass with FILM tint. Ok on the factory tint for the roof, rear and rear sides is tinted inside the glass. (Please correct me if i'm wrong.)

On and Off super easy and 0 streaks.
What i'm using
Reach: Invisible Glass Reach & Clean Glass Windshield Cleaner w/Extendable Handle
Clean: Adam's Polishes Brilliant Glaze
(the wand will take an even longer pole if you want)

I love the detail Coleton (Out of Spec Detailing) puts into his techniques, here is the glass section. I stopped at the Brilliant Glaze step because it was perfect. On and Off super easy and 0 streaks. If you have never used wax for cleaning clear glass and plexiglass, try it. The entire 2hr video is worth it, I watched it at 2x speed.

I bought this, haven’t used it yet but it looks promising. https://windshieldwow.com/

I do the swiffer thing and just put paper towels on there

This is true. If you got the Xpel tint installed (recommended by Tesla) they give you a small bottle of window cleaner specially for tint on the inside windows and a water spot remover. Use a clean or brand new microfiber cloth. They also sell full size bottles that are safe for their tints.
