When you know how to clean car windows inside, you not only keep your Mercedes-Benz looking its best but you help preserve its value.

Tips for How to Clean a Car Windshield From Inside

Before we jump to the simple steps to follow for how to clean inside car windows, here are the tips you need to know:

  • Microfiber cleaning cloths eliminate the small paper fibers you get when cleaning with paper towels. They’re also less likely to leave streaks. Use a circular motion when wiping with a microfiber cleaning cloth, but then wipe vertically at the end to remove streaks.
  • To reach the corners of the windshield, use a reach-and-clean tool.
  • This cleaning process can be used with all interior windows, not just the windshield.

How to Clean Inside Car Windows

When the view of Westlake streets starts looking smudge, take these steps to clear things up by learning how to clean inside car windows:

  1. Wipe down the windshield with a microfiber cleaning cloth to remove any grime or dirt.
  2. Spray your preferred brand of glass cleaner on the microfiber cleaning cloth and wipe down the inside of the windshield. This should get any remaining substances off the windshield, but you’re not done yet.
  3. With a clean microfiber cloth, apply rubbing alcohol and wipe down the inside of the window. This cuts any grease that can build up on the glass and brightens visibility.
  4. Finish with another round of the glass cleaner of your choice.

Can You Use Windex on Car Windows?

You can use Windex on car windows safely. If a third-party business tinted your windows, it’s best to be safe and avoid Windex. The ammonia in Windex might react with the tinting materials. Also, be careful to not get Windex on any of your car’s leather surfaces. It can dry out or discolor the leather.
