Tips for Cleaning and Maintaining Your Windshield

A clean windshield is essential for safe and comfortable driving. It improves vision, especially against the light, and enhances the overall appearance of the vehicle. Let's explore some tips for cleaning and maintaining your windshield.

How to Clean the Inside Windshield Properly?

If you're struggling with grease and dirt obstructing your view, it's time to clean your windshield. Here's how you can do it yourself:

- Mix warm water with a teaspoon of washing-up liquid and a few drops of vinegar in a bowl.

- Soak a microfiber towel in the cleaning solution and use a spray bottle for better distribution.

- Wipe the inside of the windshield thoroughly, squeezing out the excess water from the cloth.

- Use a clean, dry microfiber cloth to buff the surface and remove any residue.

- Repeat the same process for the backlite and sidelite.

Alternatively, you can always rely on a professional to have your windshield cleaned.

 

How to Remove Wiper Marks?

Wiper marks can be frustrating, but they can also indicate that the rubber blade is damaged and needs to be replaced. If you need new wipers, you can find Valeo wipers at any Sekurit Partner center.

 

Here are some tips for removing wiper marks:

- Use a white clay stone to polish the surface of your windshield.

- Scrub the marks with a wet sponge and baking soda, then dry with a microfiber cloth.

- Use cigarette ash in the hollow of a damp cloth or newspaper and make circular movements on the surface to be treated. However, we don't encourage smoking.

Remember that scratches on the windshield are not considered "broken glass." If you're considering replacing your windshield due to scratches, note that the glass breakage warranty won't cover this type of replacement.

In conclusion, cleaning and maintaining your windshield is crucial for your safety and comfort while driving. By following these tips, you can ensure a clear and scratch-free windshield.
