Car maintenance
is an important part of owning a car. There’s a couple of different solutions you can use. Companies often make glass cleaner specifically for cars, or if you want a homemade solution, try the following mixture:
  • Equal parts water
  • Equal parts rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol)

Spray the solution onto the microfiber cloth and clean the glass—think “The Karate Kid’s” circular motions of wipe on, wipe off. Go over the glass one more time with a clean dry cloth with an up and down motion to make sure it’s completely dry and streak-free.
