Why it is so important to clean car windows

Clean car windows are essential for a safe drive. We see all traffic and everything that happens around us through the car windows. Dirt, insects and other contaminants on the windshield can impair visibility and increase the risk of accidents, especially in poor light conditions or at night. Therefore, you should clean your car windows of insects and dirt particles before every drive.

Avoid these mistakes when cleaning car windows

Many drivers quickly use the windshield wipers to remove dirt and contaminants from the windshield. However, this lazy action comes at a price, as windshield wipers are not designed to remove coarse dirt particles from the window. Micro-cracks form on the rubber lips of the windshield wipers, causing them to wear out faster and clean less effectively over time. Therefore, manual cleaning is essential for heavy soiling of the windshields before every car journey.

How to clean your car windows correctly

Preparation: First, the car should be locked so that all windows are closed, and the windshield wipers should be folded up or removed to prevent damage.

Cleaning: Then you can clean the windows with a special car window cleaner. Make sure to spray the windows directly with the glass cleaner so that the dirt can dissolve.

Drying: Afterwards, you can wipe the windows with a microfiber cloth to avoid streaks. However, this is usually not necessary with a good car glass cleaner.

It is important to clean and dry the windows thoroughly to avoid smudges and streaks. Do not use cleaning agents or glass cleaners from discounters, as these usually contain a high alcohol content and can attack and damage the rubber seals.

Tips for cleaning car windows

1. Use a special car window cleaner as it evaporates faster and does not dry out the rubber seals. We recommend Glass Cleaner Pro from Autoland Car Care with a ball valve and citrus scent.
2. Use a waffle cloth to clean the windows as they do not lint and absorb dirt very well. Microfiber cloth for cleaning windows. I recommend our waffle cloth for car windows.
3. Clean the windows at the mildest possible temperatures and in the shade, as heat and sunlight can make cleaning difficult and cause streaks.
4. Clean not only the visible surface of the window, but also the corners and frames to ensure that all contaminants are removed.
5. If possible, clean the windows from both sides to ensure that the inner side of the window is also clean.
6. Also regularly clean the windshield wiper blades, as contamination on the wiper blades can impair cleaning performance and cause scratches on the windows.
