The Final Step:

The final step will protect as well as shine your windshield. Get any carnauba or synthetic paste wax that you use on your car’s paint to finish the job. Waxing the windshield will also create a protective layer that repels water and keeps bird droppings and road debris from adhering to the glass.

You only need to get your wax and apply it in a circular motion. You only need to coat the glass’s surface. Because the glass is smooth and clean after the clay bar, you won’t need as much wax to coat the entire glass surface.

Make sure there are no empty spots, and when you’re finished, wait 5 to 10 minutes for the wax to completely dry so you can easily wipe it away. Rub your finger on the waxed windscreen to see if it’s safe to buff the screen. Allow more time to dry if there is a smudge or the wax is leaving a residue.

Buff off as much wax as you can with a clean microfiber towel. Using circular motions will help you remove the most wax. Make sure to remove the wax from all of the black pieces and trim. After you’ve finished your first buff with the microfiber towel, switch to a finishing towel. Use different directions of circular motions on the windshield. It will produce the best results.

Make sure that you do not touch the glass with your bare hands. It will leave a mark, and you will have to go through the process again. Now, Spray a little water on the glass to see how effective this wax layer will be. It will bead up and slide to the bottom without any effort or leaving a mark. 

Also make sure that you clean your wiper blades. Spray the towel with glass cleaner and simply pull the wiper blade up. You’ll be able to see how much dirt and debris has accumulated on the blades over time. Cleaning them will keep your windshield clean.

How to defrost your windscreen?

Before you attempt to drive in the winter, it’s essential to ensure that your windscreen is completely defrosted. It is not sufficient to simply clear a small area to allow visibility.

Additional Tips :

• Avoid parking your car in the sun while cleaning your windscreens and windows, the cleaner can evaporate leaving undesirable stains or smudges.

• If the window dries too quickly after applying the products and you don’t get the desired finish, dampen the cloth slightly and repeat the process.

• Wearing rubber gloves and eye protection is also recommended.

• Wiper blades should be replaced every two to three years, or more frequently if they become damaged or ineffective.

• While cleaning, the arm of the windscreen wiper should be at about 70 degrees from the windscreen.

Conclusion : 

With your car windshield looking better than ever, you’re one step closer to having your car look brand new without ever visiting a garage or detailing shop. Complete your cleaning routine to achieve a professionally cleaned appearance.
