Cleaning your vehicles windows isn't just about making your car look like new. Doing so grants greater visibility, which in turn results in a safer ride for you and your passengers. In other words, it's a no-brainer. That said, everyone should clean their car's windows on a regular basis. But we also know that there are many mistakes people will make in doing so.

What kind of mistakes, you ask? For one, picking the wrong cleaner and method of cleaning. Specifically, household cleaners tend to contain a wide range of chemicals that can do more harm than good, while paper towels and reusable rags can easily scratch tinted and regular glass finishes. In order to avoid these setbacks, Walser Mazda recommends using a microfiber cloth and specialized auto glass cleaner.

Of course, it isn't enough that you equip yourself with the right tools for the job; you also need to know how to utilize them. For instance, make sure to try and avoid using most glass cleaners in direct sunlight. Also, be sure to use long strokes to reduce the likelihood of it streaking. Furthermore, you should also clean your windows along the edges where applicable. Simply roll down your cars window part way, and clean. Then be sure to clean the moldings, corners, and other objects like mirrors. This ensures that your windows look great and serve their purpose to their fullest extent.
