There's a hazy film on the interior of my windshield, front and back. I have a couple of ideas to clean it. Simply using windex and elbow grease is not cutting it, the film remains.

How about:
1) Use simple green.
2) Water and a green scrubbing pad, may not be good for the defrost lines.
3) Vinegar and water.
4) Soap (ivory) and water.

What do you think is the way to go?

if u have tint, AVOID WINDEX! simple green or the soap idea sound good though

I've been using Crystal Clear Windshield Wipes from a company called P21S and I'm happy with the results. I've also tried them on my wife's Subaru wagon with windows that hadn't been cleaned in 8+ months and they took the grime right off. You can buy them at Autodetail.com .

do the rain-x or the vinegar w/ water (or rubbing alcohol, but not with tints)

Windex is fine as long as you don't have tinted windows.
If you have tinted windows, don't put anything on them.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Use some liquid soap and warm water with a soft cloth if you have tinted windows ........ but make sure its a soft cloth or you might scratch the tint....... there is also some stuff called tint cleaner but i have never used it but its supposed to clean the tint on the windows

There's a product called Clearvue(not sure about the spelling). Works real good
and is safe on tinted windows. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG] I recommend it!

Try one part vinagar and two parts water. It will keep them from fogging up also.

Yes, I have Clearvue and it works very well (on tinted windows anyway). Only like 3 bucks for a bottle. I had that grime too on my back window and it wouldnt go away. I got my windows tinted and that was the end of the grime problem. good luck anyways

sounds like windex is fine with non-tinted windows...i use that btw hahah. i guess all use clear-vue or whatever it was someone said after i get my windows tinted.

I don't have tints, but the best way to clean the windows, BOTH THE interior and exterior, is to go and get any type of window cleaner for your car (i think I have Turtle Wax brand or something)...spray the desired area, and then to wipe it off use a piece of newspaper....For real, my buddy showed me that a few months ago and it is by far the best way to clean them and they won't have any streaks at all...Just take a big piece of newspaper and fold it into the size of a paper towel and rub away----it may seem like it won't dry and it'll get hazy , but just keep buffing w/the newspaper and you'll be pleasantly surprised.

However, I don't know if this is a good idea w/tints, I don't have them so I wouldn't know.....

one simply trick always works for me... after you have cleaned your windows with windex, let them get completely dry.. then take a new DRY paper towel and just buff out the haze... it's best if u can do it in sunlight so u see where the haze is and isnt.. good luck[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
