Automotive / car maintenance / repair DIY tips

Cleaning hazy windscreens

  • the inside of the windscreen becomes hazy mainly due to either:
    • condensation - easily fixed with the demister if it is otherwise clean
    • oil build up from a variety of sources which sticks to the condensed air on the windscreen - leather cleaners, plastics, air fresheners, window wipes, human skin, etc
  • how to clean:
    • the aim is to wash away the grime OFF the windscreen not just move it around and smear it.
    • place towels on dashboard as it will get wet otherwise
    • use a fresh, cleaning mitt
    • bucket with car shampoo, dish washing detergent or similar with warm or hot water
    • soak the mitt in the soapy water and wash the windscreen
    • clean the soapy water off using a window squeegee - go from top to bottom but do not lift it off the window until the end
    • then use a dry glass cleaning cloth to clean up any residual soapy water
