    If you use the squeegee to clean the outside of the windshield too, go from top to bottom instead of side-to-side. That way, if you should happen to see any streaks, you’ll know right away if they are on the inside or out.

    Pro tips for any inside (and outside) window cleaning :
    1. - Make sure the squeegee rubber is in good condition.
    2. - Wipe the cloth down the edge you start from,this stops any bits being dragged along.
    3. - Ensure you wipe the blade AND the top corner of the squeegee rubber with a damp cloth after every pass.
    4.- Allow a good margin of overlap on each pass to avoid water lines.
    5. - Put a towell underneath to catch the drips.

  • @monikao.559

    This is like a miracle! Like many of you, I've tried a wide range of products to try and get that thick hazy grime off the inside of my windshield, to no avail. Driving at night was especially bothersome, as the lights from oncoming cars would cause a heavy glare effect, greatly distorting my ability to see the road in front of me. I park outside and the sun beats on that car. So, I came upon Chris Notap's video. Hmmm. It looked too easy, but I was willing to give it a try.
    OK, so I went onto Amazon and purchased the green & orange squeegee that Notap recommended. It arrived today. So, I got me a bucket, added 2" of water to it, did a circular swirl of Dawn dishwashing liquid into the water, and went to attack that grimy windshield. I rubbed the soapy water onto the windshield with great gusto. Then I went over it a second time. Sudsy droplets fell all over my dash. I did not care! I meant business! Then, I took that squeegee, and did just like Chris Notap in this video. Left to right with squeegee in hand, and after each swipe I wiped its edge with a clean dry cloth.
    It was an overcast drizzly day, so when I was done, I couldn't tell how effective my efforts were. But, after the sun went down, I purposefully got in my car and went for a drive. Well, I tell you -- I was absolutely amazed. It was unbelievable! No haze anywhere on that glass! Under the streetlights, my windshield was sparkling clear. There was zero glare blinding me from the headlights of oncoming cars! I tell you -- I feel like I'm on a natural high! When I got back, I said to myself, "I have to leave a comment on Notap's video!!" So, here it is! Yes! Yes! Yes!

      Yep, I agree. Having tried Mr . Clean eraser and failed (despite videos saying otherwise) this video confirmed that the BEST option is the squeegee. The new nugget was the use of dawn dish soap to cut the grime which behaves like grease. Both together successfully remove the streaks and glare from the inside of the windshield that has become the bane of my car maintenance existence. I concur that adding a large towel to the dashboard helps to catch some of the drip. Good work with this video.

Dishsoap in water, wet cloth, dry cloth. Easy. Never thought to make a video. Squeegee works well on foggy side mirrors and side windows too on wet winter days.

We've got 3 small push mowers, a generator, a roto-tiller and a snow blower and changing the oil was a real job. Then I came across your video with the wet/dry vac and gave it a try.

It is so much better! I use a larger squeegee with a sponge on the opposite site, but it is awkward to maneuver. I'm going to pick up the smaller squeegee and give it a try.

  • @redshift2omega

    THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! I always dread 'that moment' when you realize it's necessary to clean the car's inside glass. You know, the inside surface gets that foggy-hazy patina that is worse at night with the glare of oncoming headlights. I've tried a few other methods shown in other YT videos but none have worked as advertised...very disappointing. There's always streaking and/or areas that just weren't clean afterward requiring re-do. But I saw this method of Chris's and thought it had promise, so I bought the little squeegee and tried it last week. It amazed me! Not only did it work, it was almost easy! (Almost) It's been a week now and I'm still amazed at how good a job it did, I don't remember ever getting such excellent results. I did my outside windows too and afterward it was like looking at a new car's windows in the dealer showroom...they were super clean, just like in the video. Try this method!
    Things I found that worked well:
    1. The squeegee is perfect for car widows. As mentioned in the video, the frame doesn't extend to the ends of the squeegee, letting me get right up to the very edge of, well, everywhere without scratching anything.
    2. I could use the squeegee upside down, as the blade works either way. Why is this important? My windshield has a significant slant putting the bottom, where it meets the dash, at arm's length. Always a problem for me. But by using the squeegee upside down I was able to easily squeegee upward from the bottom, up and and off to the side, for easy follow-up.
    3. Mild water and dish detergent solution is an excellent cleaning solution, it very effectively cuts through the dirty film (you know what I mean). No special 'window cleaner' needed (think Windex).
    4. Cleans the rear window with that bumpy inside defroster grid without fear of damaging the grid elements. The squeegee is soft silicone rubber which is not abrasive and doesn't induce any wear.
    5. Much faster than the 'spray-and-wipe' system. No re-do needed. When you're done, you're done!
    Things that didn't work well:
    1. It's a squeegee system. Where does the squeegee'd solution go? Gravity says "down", so it drips. I put a towel down on my slippery vinyl dash beforehand but fought trying to keep it in place. In the end I gave up and let the drips fall where they may. Drip clean up was easy though, so no harm, no foul.
    2. There is no #2, the dripping issue was the only detractor for me. And honestly...so what?

    Well I cleaned my windshield of my Escalade today (inside and out) after purchasing that squeegee you recommended and I must say it was the easiest one I’ve ever done! Thank you for this awesome tip! Tomorrow the wife and I are headed to leaf peeping on the Kancamagus Highway with a super clean windshield. Some hiking will be involved so not all behind the clear glass!

    Years ago, a local postal worker was cleaning the plate glass windows at the PO with a bottle of carbonated water and told me I could use the same thing on the inside of my windshield. Well, I don't normally buy carbonated water, but I since being informed, I HAVE used sugar-free carbonated soft drinks and paper napkins to clean when the windshield looks obnoxious! Worked quite well, and I always had those items on hand. Still didn't solve the human anatomical aspect of the problem, but this new approach looks intriguing! I hope it'll work as well for me as it does for Chris... I never tried the sock-foot technique due to a bad knee! Thanks for a tremendously-entertaining tutorial! 😺💕🐾

      CAREFUL ! A Magic Eraser is indeed "magic" but it is essentially very close to Epoxy foam. It is probably much harder than the face protection film on the inside of your windshield !
      I think windshields still have the protective layer on the inside as well as the layer laminated into the glass to keep the windshield together when it breaks.
