Cleaning inside of windshield

[Patchouli]

What do you use for solutions?
Do you make it yourself or is it something you purchase?
Do you use towels, microfiber, paper towels? Something else?
How often do you have to clean it?

Microfiber! Slightly dampen a microfiber rag, give the windshield, window, mirror, etc. a good going over, then follow up with a dry microfiber rag! Something funny (not always), my old truck has no heat or a/c. So when the windows fog up there is no way to clear them!! Long handle Swiffer duster to the rescue!!! People do look at you funny when you are using one to clear the windshield!!

Sounds good! Thank you, @Pearl

I use an ammonia free glass cleaner and microfiber cloths. I keep Charlene clean, so if she get's dirty, I bathe her. Of course I take her in to the experts a couple times of year for a full spa day.

I use the gadget below plus Windex.

I lay a towel over the dash (of my nice cars anyway) then use Safelight glass cleaner. The stuff is awesome! If you have free glass insurance it's worth breaking your windshield to snag a can.

Microfiber and Invisaglass

91 % isopropyl alchohol. Lint free gas station paper towels.
That alcohol bites right thru the smoky haze.

I justed use the gas station squeegee to do the inside as well as the outside. Maybe once every other year. I don't drive much.

Windex and paper towels, but not when it's sunny. My car needs it.

I just use garden variety glass cleaner and garden variety paper towels. I don't clean the inside of my windshields near often enough. Combine that with the outside of the windshield being pitted due to sand they put on the roads for ice and snow in the winter, and it gets pretty hard to drive around at night, with all the street lighting and oncoming headlights glaring off of the windshield.

That would make things a lot easier to reach. It reminds me of the long handle inside glass cleaners that we have for aquariums. I'll have to search around on Amazon to see if I can find your car windshield one. I like that.

OK. That was easier than I predicted. Just use Amazons search for "car inside windshield cleaner tool" and a bazillion of them pop up. I guess I must be the only person who didn't know about these already.

Well yeah, I forgot about the old jeep. I just pull the floor drains and leave it outside when it rains.

So helpful, thanks everyone.
It is reported that the offgassing and age of the materials on the inside of the vehicles will cause the "smoky" look that eventually makes it hard to see through. I keep forgetting to close my car up at night so i suppose keeping it aired out helps too.

Me too, but not very well, and not often enough.

Bernard the fox hound has left some nose marks inside my windshield, but on the passenger side, so not as bad as if they were in my way.

The real challenge for me now is to remove the sticker for the toll roads. She is letting me use her car because she got a new one. But this sticker is a challenge. The toll road people are crooks, so she keeps getting mail from them. She cannot get a toll road sticker for her current car, because of the problems with the sticker on this car. I have worked and worked on it. I need a straight edge and rubber cement thinner.

A now decease friend of mine got a bill from them 6 months after she had driven on the toll road. I don't remember the amount, but hundreds, because it was so darned late. She couldn't believe it.

My solution is to have @Patchouli come wash the inside of my windshield

 

[Patchouli]

@Weedygarden see if you can find some "goo gone." It works on stickers, labels, etc. I think I saw some in wally world.
Yes, @LadyLocust now that I know how to clean a windshield I will make a stop at your place while i'm out on my broom.
