Do not impair the quality of your driving with dirty windows. Here are a few tips on how to clean those car windows.

Always choose a cleaner that does not contain ammonia, most ammonia based products, like household cleaners are not safe for any type of tinted glass, are not healthy to breathe in and some can leave streaks on your windows. The best cloth to use is a microfiber cloth or towel. Clean windows after doing the rest of your car so you don’t mess it up again while working on other areas.

Wipe up and down and side to side with long strokes giving special attention to the windshield since that is the glass you will be using the most.

Roll down windows to get at the top edges of the glass – if you leave dirt in these areas when you put your windows down it will just smear over your clean windows.  

Clean the mirrors and headlights too whilst you are doing this.

Maintain clean windows by keeping your windscreen wipers clean and in good condition. You might also want to use a windshield washing additive to the wiper fluid to help clear any dirt from the windows.
