Clean and Maintain Car Windows
Keeping your car’s windows clean and spotless is an important aspect of car maintenance. Not only does it improve the appearance of your car, but it also enhances visibility while driving, which is essential for safe driving.
However, cleaning car windows can be challenging, especially when it comes to removing stubborn water spots. In this blog post, we will provide you with some tips on how to properly clean and maintain your car’s windows, including the removal of water spots.
Prepare
Gather the Necessary Materials
Before starting the cleaning process, you will need to gather the necessary materials. These include products for a thorough exterior wash and dry, and a microfiber towel (glass specific is even better) and MaxShine’s Glass Cleaner.
Wash the Car’s Exterior
It is important to wash the car’s exterior before cleaning the windows. This ensures that any dirt or grime on the windows is removed before you start cleaning.
Dry the Windows
After cleaning the windows, it is important to dry them thoroughly. Use a clean microfiber drying towel to wipe the windows in the same back-and-forth motion, ensuring that all moisture is removed. This point is imperative for window cleaning maintenance during the car washing process. Making sure to dry windows thoroughly will help prevent water spots from forming, creating more work later.
Clean
Use a Quality Glass Cleaner
Using a quality glass cleaner is essential for getting rid of dirt and grime on your car’s windows. MaxShine’s Glass Cleaner is specifically designed for automotive use and is more effective than regular household cleaners.
Spray Glass Cleaner onto a Microfiber Towel
Spray the glass cleaner onto the microfiber towel rather than directly onto the window. This helps to avoid overspray and ensures that the cleaner is applied evenly.
Wipe the Windows
Using the microfiber towel, wipe the windows in a back-and-forth motion. Make sure to apply even pressure to avoid leaving streaks.
Detail
Use a Water Spot Remover
If your windows have stubborn water spots that cannot be removed with washing or glass cleaner, you may need to use MaxShine’s Water Spot Remover. Simply apply a small amount to a foam or microfiber applicator or microfiber towel, wipe onto the window and let work for no longer than 30 seconds, then wipe away. If water spots are still present, continue to apply and remove water spot remover in stages.
Coat Your Windows
To provide better protection from water spots and quicker and faster cleaning, protect your windows with MaxShine’s Graphene Ceramic Coating. It’s hydrophobic properties help prohibit water, dirt, and grime from sticking to the windows.
Maintain
Maintain the Windows
Regular maintenance is key to keeping your car’s windows clean and spotless. Avoid parking your car under trees or near sprinklers, as this can cause water spots to form. Additionally, make sure to clean your car’s windows regularly to prevent dirt and grime from building up.
Window Cleaning Conclusion
In conclusion, proper cleaning and maintenance of your car’s windows is essential for safe and comfortable driving. By following these tips, you can ensure that your car’s windows remain clean and spotless, even in the toughest conditions.
