My MINI is really hard to get the windows clean - the side ones and the back window - its just WEIRD!
Ive tried everything, water, window cleaner, tissues the lot...why is they all marked and sticky and smeary??? - the worst bits are the back ones - where the black is - you know? it seems impossible to clean
My old car was easy to get the windows clean I JUST DONT GET IT
Im turning into Monica from friends - all this cleaning
I use the meguirs window cleaner. Spray on the window wipe in with one microfibre and rub off with another microfibre. Leaves them spotless inside and out.
On the front ones i also take the rubber off from the bottom of the window and clean it too.
I personally use Auto Glym Glass polish. I know what you mean,some of the spray's do make smeary. You have to not leave on that long otherwise you get all the polish dust everywhere.
I can only do my outsides as my insides are tinted!!!
If they are as bad as you say try vinegar and water diluted then use news paper to rub them, if the front ones smear all the time when its wet it could be the window strip that needs replacing quite a common fault.
I use the Halfords Glass Cleaner stuff (OK, I've started to become a bit fanatical about car cleaning stuff, but the Halfords Glass Cleaner works, so I'm not ditching it until I've finished the bottle). Some of my windows hadn't been touched in literally years, but they came up nice and shiny.
I wouldn't recommend using the newspaper, though. That was popular 20 or 30 years ago - when the inks contained more solvents; with modern inks, you don't get the same degreasing effect (and they don't turn your fingers black, either), and the paper is harsher too (maybe because some of the paper is from recycled sources).
Glass cleaner plus microfibre cloth, and if it's really mucky do it several times over the course of 2 or 3 days.
Hi guys!!! Since I moved to a new house, I'm having some problems with the renovation, more specifically with the ventilation, the house is old and it got dirty when we did the inspection and I need your help right away!
Hi, I use rain x glass cleaner/repellant mix inside and out, we use it in aviation and it's wonderful stuff. Torrential rain at 70mph on the motorway and I don't need to use my wipers!
Also, It seems to be a common problems with minis fogging up a little on the inside and the rain x helps reduce this?
As with all cleaning products, less is more.
Happy motoring 👍
