“I’m sorry to hear about the mess. Here’s what you’re going to need to clean it up:
  • Auto glass cleaner
  • Gloves
  • Lint-free towel
  • Microfiber cloth
First, take anything off from the front of your car that you don’t want to get wet. Put down towels you don’t care about over the seats, dashboard, and electrical console.
Once clear, put on your gloves and open your car’s windows. Soak the
interior of your window with that glass cleaner
. You want to use the auto glass cleaner because your regular household glass cleaner can fog up your windows or leave streaks behind.
Let the auto glass cleaner sit for at least 15 minutes to try and cut through the grease. Then take your clean, lint-free towel and work in a horizontal side-to-side motion.
Next, take your microfiber cloth and dry the glass clean. You should have sparkling, grease-free glass. If there is any leftover, work in the locations again.
Be careful of using paper towels or rough cloths as they can scratch or damage the glass.
Since you take good care of your car, consider adding roadside assistance. With
