Want a super clean windshield every day

[Takemeanywhere]

We're about to depart on a ten-day trip along the east coast, crossing the Chesapeake Bay, and ending up in Kentucky for the PGA Championship. DH has never been in this area, and I think the Chesapeake Bridge/Tunnel system is the 8th wonder of the world.

To ensure that he can see all there is to see, I want to start every morning with a very clean windshield and front windows. I have a small ladder, extendable scrubber and squeegee and a collapsable bucket. Question is, what cleaner is best to use? I'm assuming there'll be lots of bug bodies, etc. and I've heard vinegar/water is a good solution...but anyone have a not-so-secret weapon?

They close the CBBT to MHs, trailers, semis and any towed vehicle when the winds reach 40 MPH.

Wet the windshield with water

Use a scrubber with a bit of baby shampoo in a bucket of water.

Squeegee it dry.

Spray with a bit of Windex like product.

Wipe dry with a micro-fiber-cloth.

I haven't used news paper or any other paper product since I scratched the heck out of my F-150 windshield. soft terry cloth or microfiber for me.

I use this when stopped on glass.

I use both products for everything. The concentrated Wash lasts a long time.

I use a 1/2 capful of this in a spray bottle when traveling.

Suicidal bugsy's come off easy, no glare, no streaks and lazy easy for me.

I use Stoner brand glass cleaner called "Invisible Glass", by far the best cleaner I've used. Use newspaper if you can, better than paper towels.

Thanks, barlow46! I'll try it.

2 gal. water (warm is best), 2-3 drops of Dawn Dishwashing Liquid, 3 - 4 squirts of Jet Dry liquid that you use in a dishwasher. Mix it good, use your scrubber to put it on and then use the squeegee. No rinsing is necessary.

First super clean the windshield with 000 steel wool with windex or some other
wetting solution. This gets rid of all the small teenie tiny bits of crud and leaves your windshield smooth and clean. It also removes any water spots on the windshield. Then use a glass cleaner found at Costco and other auto/grocery stores called http://www.amazon.com/Sprayway-Glass-Cleaner-6-Cans/dp/B000AP585M Sprayway. Great stuff. The best I have ever used.
