Top Tips to Clean Your Car Windshield

Constant car maintenance is every vehicle owner’s responsibility. You may like washing your own car and polishing the dashboard and you must pay equal attention to the windshield as well. Here are some top tips to maintain your car’s windshield:

• Always use a spot or stain remover to remove any patches, mud spots, or bird droppings. Scrub them off with a cloth; using your nails may cause damage to your car windshield. You’d be better off investing in good materials for cleaning or you’ll have to match a Honda Amaze and Opel Corsa windscreen price eventually.  

• Remember to always use special glass cleaning gel or concentrate instead of using your car shampoo or a dishwasher gel on your windscreen. The car front glass is manufactured with special techniques and any damage to it may affect the vision of the driver and therefore, the security of the passengers. 

• Do not use a rag or a regular dust cloth to wipe the car windshield. For everyday dusting, use a glass spray cleaner and cotton wipes (designed to clean glass). On days you wish to wash the windshield, use microfiber brush tools that allow you to spread the cleansing gel without scratching or damaging the glass surface. 

• Discard any glass wiping towel or tool than may have fallen on the ground. These could have picked up sand particles and reusing them will leave scratches on your front glass.

• While washing your car front glass, always use circular overlapping motions similar to that of a car wiper. This minimizes the risks of causing damage to the glass.

• Do not use damaged wipers. A worn off or damaged wiper blade may scratch the front glass and will affect the driver’s vision. Replacing a wiper is a much simpler and inexpensive choice compared to a Honda or Opel windshield replacement and repair. Faulty car wipers are also one of the main causes for windshield damage. 

• Use a rain repellant spray if you are worried about streaks left by rain on your front glass. While this may not protect from dust or during a storm, it will certainly help keep the glass clean and improve your visibility during monsoons.

• There are numerous DIY car windshield repair kits in the market. It is, however, best to trust professionals when it comes to repairing or replacing your car’s front glass. The risks of increased damage to the glass are high, when you attempt to self-repair.
