Streaks are a frustrating part of window washing. Luckily, you can minimize streaks by parking your car in a shaded area when you wash them! If that doesn’t work, you can follow these steps to get streak free car windows:
  • Mix equal parts of rubbing alcohol and water together in a spray bottle with a capful of white vinegar.
  • Lightly shake the bottle to mix it.
  • Rinse your windows with water.
  • Spray them with your homemade cleaning solution.
  • Immediately wipe them clean with a microfiber cloth.
  • As you clean each window, start wiping from the top and working down.
Once your windows dry, they should be streak-free! While
streaking
can be difficult to avoid, you’ll get better at reducing the streaks as you practice. Keep trying your best, and you’ll get better in no time!
