Cleaning the inside of the windscreen

08ISF · January 31, 2022

Hi All,

Nice to see some sun at this time of year but it's so low it finds every smear on the inside of the screen. I've spent some time trying to clean it using microfibre cloths, Windowlene wipes , white vinegar etc all to little avail. Does anybody have any advice/recommendations for a substance that will actually remove the grease and smears? The RX screen is so large and steeply raked, trying to clean it internally is a real pain.

Invisible glass, windscreen long reach stick and the Chris fix YouTube video how to super clean the interior of your Windshield 👍

You need something like this.

Using a waffle-weave towel to buff/finish the job leaves no smears for me.

(I use this one)

Have something like that.

Gave up and let a pro company clean just the inside of wind-shield, was told to go for a walk and come back in half an hour (may not want me to see what they did). 10€. Clear like new. Will probably last another half year before it needs to be done again.

I find the inside of my REAR screen just as, or even more so, troublesome to " get to " to clean

Thanks all. The invisible glass cleaner seems well thought of so I have ordered some and I have an extension stick so I will give that a try.

Well, just spent 10mins contorting myself trying to clean my rear screen and wish I hadn't bothered! At least the dirt film was evenly distributed! Will have to wait until my aching back recovers to give it another go ...

I've decided an appropriate grandchild might be the optimum cleaning assistant

I only ever tried to clean the interior rear window in my XKR once 😱. Got in and cleaned the glass OK but then couldn't back myself out 😂. Took ages, never again.

We haven't got any so when said grandchild has done yours, would you send them up north please Malc? :laughing:

The advantages of having a 5 door car are more apparent now
