Glass and winshield detailing guide Fresh Start Auto Detail

Glass and windshield are very important when detailing a car. Extra attention to detail on glass will give your car an aesthetic boost that is hard to match.

 

They key things to remember with glass:

1) Use a "Waffle Weave" towel,

2) Use a high-quality glass cleaner; and...

3) double check for streaks and marks. 

Fresh Start Pro Info ✔Waffle weave towels are super absorbent, gentle and scratch free, and contain low pile grooves that mimic a squeegee ✔A high-quality glass cleaner is engineered to evaporate quickly so it won't leave behind residue or haze. ✔Use a reach tool designed to extend your arm's reach on the windshield or sunroof. This will help you reach all the areas without overextending yourself.

How to clean your glass like a pro

Glass and winshield detailing guide Fresh Start Auto Detail

01

Apply glass cleaner

Using your spray bottle, spray either the glass or your waffle weave towel with a generous amount of product. More spray does a better job of dissolving particles quickly.

03

Double check

Even the most seasoned detailer won't be perfect on the first try. Take a second look and scan the entire window or windshield for marks or streaks. Continue  as many times as necessary to achieve crystal-clear glass.

02

Thoroughly wipe

Wipe the glass surface in straight lines and be sure to get all of the edges and corners in addition to the broader glass panel. If needed, fold your towel in two or four sides so the weight of the towel can assist with heavier cleaning and buffing.

04

Enjoy

Doing a professional job on windows is one of the easiest ways to bring your car back to life. Crystal-clear glass helps give a car its showroom look and the increased visibility will give you confidence behind the wheel.
