The Best Way to Clean the INSIDE of Your Windshield (The Mexican Way)

#windshield #carcleaning #themexicanway every method for the whole house (and the car), written down: https://berthacleans.com That gray haze on the inside of your windshield, the one that lights up when you drive into the sun or a truck comes at you at night, does not come from the road. It comes from inside the car. The soft dashboard gives off oil every hot afternoon (that new car smell), and it settles on the glass along with your breath, your hands, the dust from the defrost vent and any smoke. It is oily, not dusty. Water only pushes it around, and the napkin from the glove box spreads it thinner, mija. BEFORE YOU START - Work in the shade, on cool glass. Anything that dries by itself on glass leaves a streak - Take the rosary off the mirror - An old bath or beach towel over the whole dashboard, pushed against the glass. It is a catcher only, never wipe the glass with it THE CLEANER - 1 to 5 (a normal car): plain 70% rubbing alcohol. The spray head from an old spray bottle screws right onto most alcohol bottles - 6 to 10 (never cleaned, smoker, vape): 1 cup rubbing alcohol + 1 cup water + 1 small spoon of dish soap THE TWO-TOWEL METHOD - Towel one cleans, towel two dries and stays dry. Old cotton towels with no fuzz, or microfiber. Never paper towels, never napkins - Half the windshield at a time. Mist lightly, wait a few seconds, clean up and down, dry right behind it - Where the dry towel drags, that is oil you missed. Rub that spot until it glides - With the soap mix, add a third towel: clean, then a damp towel to take the soap off, then dry THE CORNER where the glass meets the dash: towel flat on your palm like you carry a tortilla to the comal, turn your hand over and slide the back of your hand down into it. Stand outside the passenger door for the far corner. Tilt the steering wheel down. Can not reach? Wrap the towel around a wooden spoon (cuchara de palo) with a rubber band. No special wand needed. BE GENTLE: the mirror is glued on, never pull on it. On the back window, wipe ALONG the orange heater lines, never across them, never hard. THE TRICK: inside always up and down, outside always side to side. A streak that runs up and down is inside, side to side is outside. MY FATHER'S WAY: yesterday's newspaper and vinegar. Right for the OUTSIDE (hard water spots, bugs) and for a final buff. For the oily inside, the alcohol wins. HONEST WORDS: wiper scratches and pits from sand are not dirt and will not clean off. A smoker's car can take 2 or 3 rounds. Doors open while you work, no cigarette or lighter near the alcohol, keep it off leather and screens, air the car out before you drive. Tinted side windows: gentle mix only, never ammonia. THE HABITS: never wipe the fog with your hand or sleeve (use the defrost). Park facing away from the sun or use the folding shade. Crack the windows on hot days. One clean towel in the door pocket. Skip the shiny dashboard spray, wipe the dash with a damp cloth and a drop of soap. El que no mira adelante, atrás se queda. This week, do the inside of the windshield, then drive after dark. Tell me in the comments what your father kept in his truck to clean the glass, and your county. I read every one.
