How to Super Clean the INSIDE of Your Windshield (No Streaks)

I had my 11yr old son try this. He worked for about 10 mins and gave up. His excuse? "Dad why do I need to clean this glass? You're the one that's going to be driving me everywhere". I laughed and promptly put him up for adoption the next day.

I love the way you explain the "Why" in your videos. Can't fix an issue without getting to the root cause.

from the absolute bottom of my heart, thank you Chris for making automotive care easy to understand even for women who have been intimidated by the idea of car care and car upkeep, because of you I have been able to do my own drum brakes and be absolutely confident at what I am looking at, you've spurned me on to take care of my car properly - if you're not a mechanic teacher you really should be you're wonderful at explaining how to do things and the reasons behind why things happen in a way that is easy to digest

7 years later, I've just bought my own car, and using these instructions to get rid of irritating grease off my windshield and the windows. I've got to say this convinced me to work on my arms more, they are basically noodles right now. Thanks Chris.

I can't even express how AMAZING this process works!! Our windshield was SO filthy that we thought it was actually damaged and we were looking into getting a new one but after my husband saw your video he wanted to give it one more shot at getting it clean. The results were nothing short of a miracle!! We literally drove with our mouths hanging open!!! Thank you for this AMAZING video!!!!

I removed my windshield completely. it's crystal clear. you guys should try it.

Thanks so much for your tutorial! I was driving at nighttime this past week. There were greasy smudges on the inside of my windshield - especially in the hard-to-reach area. I was blinded by the lights from oncoming traffic. I wasn’t sure how to get the windshield crystal clear.Your backhand method for reaching the tight area is great!

Your instructions are so clear....just like your windshield! Thank you!

Chrisfix how impressive that you take great pride in creating your videos with such clarity & detail.... people love that. The feeling that you care about the viewer comes straight to us.

I think the best thing about ChrisFix is that he doesn't just show you how to do it, he explains why/how it happens and educates you on the topic.

3:05 A great alternative to your back hand method, especially for those who might not be physically able to do that, is to use a wooden paint mixing stick. If you fold your microfiber cloth in half, and then in half again, but this time having the cloth between the layers of cloth, point the stick towards the glass, not parallel, you will have an easy way to reach deep down towards where the glass and dash meet. When doing your final step on the interior, use a vertical wiping pattern, then on the exterior glass, for your final step, use a horizontal wiping pattern. This will allow you to see which side of the glass has the streaking, and it makes it super easy to remove, even in daylight.

I always clean the interior glass in an up and down motion and the outside in a side to side motion. This way you can easily see if any streaks are inside or out.

I did mine yesterday using this method. The result was amazing! Thank you, Chris!

Just tried this with rubbing alcohol and paper towels and wow did it work great! Thank you! The streaks inside my car were driving me crazy. I’m sure if I had the microfiber towels and did everything the way you did I’ve had zero streaks. But for my paper towel, alcohol and glass cleaner technique making it 95% streak free I’ll take it!

Pro-tip: throw a couple of old bath towels over the dash while cleaning the windshield and you won't have to worry about your microfiber towels grabbing up grease from the dash or your windshield cleaning products damaging the dash.

As an auto upholsterer I appreciate your presenting that the vinyl in vehicles are petroleum products. Something else people should know that the new car smell is actually all the adhesives for carpet, headliner, etc still releasing the chemical that allows the adhesives to be sprayed...

I was just thinking yesterday "I wish I knew how to get the inside of my windshield really clean." Having been driven to distraction with the glare of headlights at night through my dirty, streaky windshield I have sworn off driving at night except when absolutely necessary. It is just dangerous. I worried about hitting a pedestrian or bike rider dressed in dark clothing as I have come close to doing just that and it scared the hell out of me. Then today, as if by magic, this video popped up in my recommended YouTube feed. Felt like I had won the windshield cleaning lottery. Thank you so very much!

Just did this method and WOW! I have tried getting that film off in the past and was always so unsuccessful, this worked first try. Thank you!
