There are all types of gases that are given off by your seats whether they're vinyl or leather or whatever. On top of that, if you drive with the windows closed, you're giving off all kinds of body heat and whatnot. That stuff just tends to build up on the windshield.

Honestly, doing anything with the windshield is a total pain. They're always shaped in a really odd way and the angle from the inside of the vehicle makes it hard to reach all the way.

I'm a huge fan of ONR, which is Optimum No Rinse. Everyone out there has different solutions, though. It's okay if you want to use something else!

Question

Fog appears inside the windshield during driving. How can it be removed while driving?

Community Answer

There should be some options in your car in order to defrost the windows. If you aren't sure where these controls are, refer to your car manual. Adjust your heat/air controls in your vehicle and it should disappear safely without distracting you.

Question

How do I remove streaks left from previous chemical cleaners?

Community Answer

Acetone works great. It's stronger than normal window cleaner. As with all harsh chemicals, keep it off of the paint work and wear gloves.

Question

Will the cleaner cause any problems to the car's paintwork?

Community Answer

It shouldn't, but it would be a good idea to try to avoid the paintwork in the first place. If you get any cleaner on the paintwork, wipe it up immediately with a paper towel.

Question

How do I remove windshield wiper marks from the windshield glass?

Nipple Johnston

Community Answer

If it isn't a deep scratch that was worn into the windshield, but only slight surface markings or residue from the blades, then polishing the windshield could work. Wipe the windshield well with acetone, then polish with rubbing compound, and finish by polishing with a good car wax.
