How To Clean The Interior Windows

The challenge here is obtaining a streak-free window, but first you have to understand what contributes to streaks.

The vinyl and plastics in your car give off fumes and oils which, combined with the use of your air conditioning and ventilation system, produce a film that accumulates on the inside of your windows.

Once this film is on the windows, streaks can be created by either using household cleaners that aren't formulated to cut through the grime properly or by using the correct window cleaner but in the improper way (i.e. not fully drying the window after applying the cleaner itself).

We suggest using a specific car window cleaner and a good quality micro-fiber towel. Spray the cleaner on the window and dry with the micro-fiber towel. Be sure to fold the towel over every other pass to always keep a dry side wiping the window.

This way you are actually drying off the cleaner and not just pushing it around. Don't forget to use the same towel to clean off your rear view and vanity mirrors. If you happen to have any spots on the outside of the windows, follow the same steps there too.

Pro Detailer's Tip: For a guaranteed streak-free window follow these steps: Take two micro-fiber towels, get one damp with cool water, keep the other fully dry. Wipe the inside of the window down with the damp towel and then quickly dry it with the dry one. Keep drying the window until it becomes 'smooth'. You'll know it is fully dry when the towel glides over it. This process takes a bit more elbow-grease but will not leave any streaks.
