A clearer view, with fewer streaks
- Work in the shade. Keep the glass out of direct sun while cleaning.
- Choose compatible products. Check directions for glass, tint and coatings.
- Use clean microfiber. Wipe with a fresh cloth surface as it gets dirty.
- Clean inside and out. Follow the cleaner label. Keep spray off interior trim.
- Recheck the view. Remove remaining film and clean the wiper blades.
Do not scrape rear-window defroster lines.
Follow the care instructions for any tint, windshield film or coating, including when newly installed film can first be cleaned. If haze remains, recheck for residue with a clean cloth and a compatible cleaner rather than reaching for an abrasive pad.
