Tips for Cleaning Car Window Glass to Make It Shine

JAKARTA, JANUARY 2025, Cleaning the car windows, instead of being clean, the car windows look dull. There are tips and tricks that can make car windows clear and shiny.

Daihatsu friends can follow the tips for cleaning car windows using cleaning materials:

1. Clean the Windows Last 

When washing the car, you should clean the windows last to avoid doing extra work. This can prevent the windows from being contaminated with stains and dirt while cleaning other parts of the car.

2. Park the Car in a Shady Place

The car body absorbs heat quickly. If exposed to sunlight, the car feels hot to the touch. You should park it in a shady place and wait until the outside of the car feels cool.

If the car is too hot, the cleaning fluid used can evaporate too quickly, making it difficult to clean the car windows.

3. Gather Cleaning Supplies 

Amonia-based cleaners, such as household window cleaners, can damage window film. This cleaning fluid can dry out the car's rubber seals.

Daihatsu friends should use glass cleaners formulated for automotive needs. If the cleaner has a concentrated formula, you should dilute it with water.

Additionally, you will need a bucket, cloth (microfiber or cotton cloth), water (to dilute the cleaner), and a sponge. Also, perform wiper maintenance (optional)

4. Clean the Front and Rear Windows

The size and angle make the windows the hardest to clean. Mix the cleaner and put it in a spray bottle. Then, spray the liquid onto the windows. 

Or use a sponge, dip the sponge into the bucket containing the cleaning fluid, then wipe the sponge on the windows. Then, clean the glass with a clean cloth.
