I've avoided cleaning the inside windscreen for years because of the smearing that always happens after cleaning but tried this with an old synthetic chamois I found, which was useless for chamois drying, and an old clean facecloth for drying. Very surprised it did the trick with just water. Thanks a mil for the tip.
Hello Stephen, as long you have warm enough temperature on windscreen it should work a dream 😃
Yea i feel yur pain brah smearing drives me insane combined with sunglare u cant see shit
I found out my glasses microfibers also help! I have various ones and found i have some that work great and others leave small smears, but just clicking that together was great
I had seriously given up. Thought it was basically impossible to get a windscreen clean. Then I saw this. THANK YOU!
Thanks Richard. So glad it could help. Please feel free to share 😃 🙏
Well, I was sceptical at first; but, IT WORKS - clearest windows i've ever had
Nice one thats good news
Hh7yyuuy6y0@@epicautomotivedetailing
A complete legend! Just starting out have watched loads of detailing videos yet this guy is down to earth and says and shows how it is!
Thank you so much. Can't so many people hadn't heard of me. Been at this for a year and sadly never got much exposure on UA-cam 😬. Thanks for your support
Agreed! Easy yet effective listening, testament to Dave's confident predisposition methinks!
@@karllelliott681 Thank you very much mate
Superb Chap! Thanks
Agreed
I agree 100% on avoiding using chemicals on windows and interioir whenever possible. Thank you for sharing all your tips.
Thanks very much
Told my wife i want a flunky got a few choice words back..... Great video. Work smart not hard, love it
Lol 🤣 that's hilarious 👏 thanks for watching 👍
Excellent at 73 yrs old i am still learning I think we've all been conned it's using chemical glass cleaners. I've liked and subscribed 👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks so much 😃🙏
Tried your no chemical just water method and it works like a dream.
Simple and effective.
Top Man.
Thanks mate appreciate the feedback 🙏
I had been struggling big time with smeary glass, After watching your video. I went out , purchased a flunkie and a micro fibre towl, followed your directions and my windows on my Subaru Forester just look pristine. thankyou 😊
Amazing stuff that's good to hear 🙏
I could NEVER get my interior car glass clean - until now! Works like a charm! Thanks for sharing!
Agreed 100%! I've been cleaning my glass like this for 33yrs.
That's amazing. I was only 2 when you started this method
Interesting you remember it so well
@@w1nGsEEEhTV after 33 years?
I don't understand complete method. Can anyone tell in short so that i will understand video later
I tried this today on the Mrs car, I bought a flunky and a good quality microfibre towel,it worked an absolute treat,and to think how much money I wasted on chemical cleaners! Thanks for uploading this video! 👍🏻
That's amazing mate well chuffed to hear this.
Seriously thinking of starting up my own mobile car detailing/ wash business and your vids are a great, welcome source of reliable information. Keep them coming mate 👍🏻
Thanks so much appreciate it mate. I've got so many business videos coming just been busy filming next batch of videos
Did you start detailing? Im just getting into detail
Always watched Jon at Forensic Detailing and stumbled across one of your vids , now i have 2 goto detail channels :) simple instructions always come out on top so great job M8.
Thank you very much. Got to love forensic detailing 👌
@@epicautomotivedetailing subscribed to you due to this comment
It worked, I purchased a synthetic chamois from Halfords for £3.99 and used a warm bucket of water and crystal windows….thank you
Amazing thats good to hear :)
First time I have watched one of your videos. You have saved me time and money thank you. I have learnt a lot from you explaining things (everyday is a School day). Your an expert, know exactly what your talking about. Your knowledge is very valuable.
You are a legend, your genuine, down to Earth. Thank a million.
Thanks so much. Humbled by your kind words mate
Yep, have tried this when you mentioned it on another video you were doing on a supercar, or something like that. I got a flunky for about £6 and keep it just for the car. Works a treat, so far.
What I haven't been doing is drying with a microfibre. I have been just wringing out the flunky. So I will try drying with the microfibre, reckon it will be quicker!
Cheers,
That's cool yeh the cloth will stop those water marks 👌
I just have to tell you this is great advice. I purchased my new used car in February and, after seeing your video, I did this. Now, I don't have the faux chamois (or "flunky", if you will), but I used microfiber cloths and just water and my windows have stayed clear with no film until now (July - that's 5 months!). I'm about to go out and reclean the windows for only the second time. Thanks so much!
I use windshield washer fluid. The alcohol removes grime and grease, though I will give this a go as well as the steam method in your other video (except when the glass is cold as I worry that it might crack). Subscribed.
I have bought this cloth on your recommendation, it really cleans the windscreen inside and out. Thanks
Amazing I'm so happy (and relived 🙏)
This method actually saved me. I could not get rid of the foggy windshield with all sorts of chemicals and window cleaners. Now I can see clearly, thank you,n
Thank you for commenting very greatful
I used this method today and cleaned all my windows in&out in 15 min, before the front inside was very streaky but not now, i'm anxious to see how it holds up after a few days.
Off gassing Will always come back sadly from the heat on the dash but you should get perfectly good results following this method
What a calm intertaining man,well done.
Just tried this, works perfectly, and so much easier than using sprays.
Any tips for cleaning leather seats along the same lines?
Thank you. leather video coming soon
Really pleased I found your channel have started my own mobile car valeting business this year . And watched so many videos on you tube can be a bit confusing I will be looking at some of my processes to speed up my cleaning time after watching several of your videos. A big thank you
Hello Stephen, thank you so much that's very kind. I do this for a living and learned so much more from myself developing my own strategies. I think sometimes people tend to over think it. I say keep it simple 🙂
Apart from the off-gassing, there is also engine grease that comes through the windscreen defroster. I could never understand where the 'oily' residue came from after using during the winter. Then it dawned on me that the warm air is being sucked in from the engine area passing all kinds of rubber as well as airborne oil particles. I use similar method with a tiny touch of 'Fairy' (dishwasher soap for our over seas viewers) for the grease.
maybe you need to check your cabin filter. That's what traps all those particles.
I always thought you had to grab some sort of chemical window cleaner , just shows you how wrong I was , great tip from an expert who knows what's what , cheers .
Thanks mate the trick is clean water and not too dry flunky. It really does work
Great video, I've also been doing this for years it has always worked great! Thanks for all you do, I have learnt a lot from watching your content 👌
Thanks Gary, appreciate the kind words
We have some cold and non stop rain this entire winter and now my windshield has many stains on it but now it's warmer and in the 80s and I will just try this soon. I hoping that it will work. I've tried many ways of cleaning it. Thank you
yes this 100% works. if you follow the methods you wont have any problems :)
Hi it’d be really helpful to see a video about what is required to start a valeting business, I.e working insurance, what vehicle insurance, what to do when a customer isn’t happy with the results(irritating customers), or it rains (gazebo?) what to do if jobs are taking too long
All your videos have been really helpful and they touch on what a lot of other channels don’t
Hello I've actually finished editing that one my Friend just haven't uploaded it yet incase I was doing too many non cleaning videos. I've done one covering everything you need. Happy to help with any questions DM on Instagram if u need help with anything 🙏
Works and absolute treat!! Just done all my windows. Luckily my windscreen is not as vast as the S Max 😂😂
Nice one glad it worked
Just found this site going through all the videos and trying them one by one. very easy to listen to.
Thanks very much 🙏
I use ONR on windows such a versatile product. Good thing about it is eco-friendly. Keep up the good work with your videos mate!
at last someone giving good advice and not just trying to sell you some super expensive products, tank's for that great job. btw i just sign in.
🙂🙂🙂
Thanks very much 🙏
Dave great video and advice . Going to try this method over the weekend ,tried many glass cleaners , and in cooler times there ok . But on a hot day they are shit !!!!!!!!!!! smears and streaks and me swearing !!!!!!!! Hopefully this will cut down my detailing time and much cheaper than detailing glass cleaners. All the best mate
Yeh today is a bad day for it in working on a Tesla in the direct sunlight and it sucks
Great tip. Going to give it a go. I absolutely hate cleaning glass because of the smears. Just need to buy a flunky.
From my links in the description 😂🤑
Thanks so much. This is a problem I have always had and very frustrating.
useful advice, I noticed my screen was grubby inside when night driving making it harder to see out. So out came the leather (didn't have a flunky) and micro fibre and it has worked very well.
Amazing nice one 🙏👌
Just watched this all glass is a bastard to get looking good when the sun is on you ,fantastic tip and 100percent right was surprised how good it was 👍
Thanks Simon yeah it really does work
This actually works 😱 I've tried elbow grease spray and glass cleaner and allsorts and nothing works but this seems to have worked 😍
👌 Knew it would work. In fact I have a brand new channel out now called (how to Detail) it focuses on quick videos that get to the point so if you enjoy videos like this then that would benefit you 😀
Flunky in the post, looking forward to streak free glass at the weekend! Checking all your vids now, need to be prepped for early retirement in a few months when I'll have loads of spare time to spend on the motors. The Mrs won't see me for days lol.
Nice to see someone adding a touch of humour to their vids too, kudos to you!
Thank you. My older stuff is pretty shocking to say the least. Probably push the bad language too far. I'm getting more focused to making the channel about helping others now. That's the direction I want to go in. Man everyone losing their jobs left , right and centre it's getting tough 😬
@@epicautomotivedetailing I think even with those older comments, viewers can see you know your stuff. But like you say, you can never be too professional. Will follow your vids with interest, onwards and upwards!
I'm one of the lucky ones tbh, early retirement through choice.
When do all the way down into the track so that you can give to the rubber seals and clean those with isopropyl alcohol one wipe across, wet dry before you roll the window back up to clean it
Also to eliminate flogging in the winter with a bad heater core, shaving cream unscented onto the front windshield inside, wait a few minutes before wiping clean.
Thanks for the excellent video! I'll turn my palm to face downward and the towel on top of my fingers when I clean around where the glass meets the dashboard.
Thanks my friend 🙏
I always thought the chamois is best for windows - great video. Love the fact you can avoid chemicals.
100% my new channel (how to detail) explains this a bit better. this was an old video
I like the cut of this guys jib, too easy to watch and the tips are quality. Been using a vinegar mix, prefer this. Off now to buy me some flunkies.
Thanks mate appreciate it
This glass cleaning method is “Tho One” Cheers man.👊🏾
Thanks mate
Ordred one yesterday and was a bit sceptical but my god looks so much good and so easy to do! cheers mate!
Nice one that's awesome to hear
Good tip on the pseudo-chammies! I've got two sat in a basket in the basement, I've not used for years! 👍
They are great you wont regret it
@@epicautomotivedetailing Gave it a try on front & rear screens yesterday... just waiting for some sun to see if it worked! (Or, rather, that I did it properly!)
I shall give this a try. I’m not the biggest fan of glass cleaners either. I use Optimum No Rinse in a sprayer at 1:256. Spray on first cloth and wipe the glass, the finish with a second. Like your method, you have time to buff to perfection as doesn’t flash off super quickly like glass cleaners do, especially when the sun’s out.
It's one of jobs where some people will get it and understand the logic and others may shoot it down. But I know it works and it will help loads of people hopefully 😃
Nice one I used flunkies and newspaper for years then bought big roll of soft paper and used that instead of news paper will try micro fibre now cheers
nice i remember that old hack with newspaper. people thought i was odd lol
I use this method for 6 years now and I think it's the best way. Here in spain we have 44C on summer, there's no way to clean glass if you don't use this.
I love Spain 🇪🇸. Can't wait to go back
@@epicautomotivedetailing you have to visit Almería 😁
Yes mate count me in 😁🇪🇸☀️
Sound a little Davy Jones of the Monkees. Thanks for the tip my Chamois is coming today
Thank you!!! Struggled with cleaning my windscreen for months
Thanks for an informative video. It seems less is more. I'm definitely doing this now. Subscribed 👍
Thanks David 🙏
Love the humor!! Can’t wait to try this.
Thanks mate
Just done this, who'd of thought such a simple solution would sort such an annoying part of cleaning, no more wipes and sprays for me. Cheers 🍻
Thanks Richard yeah it works wonders
Wow steam cleaner really does make massive difference did the doors rubbers areas normally missed out with steamer and a brush
been using different window sprays for years. just watched your video and will try, always been fussy about having a clean windows.
Ok, I'm sceptical Dave but I know you know your onions so I'll go with it! I'm sure I have a flunky somewhere in the garage so I'll try it this weekend. I hate doing the interior of front screens, it's almost as bad as doing wheels 😝anything that improves the experience has to be worth trying. Interestingly my XK has a leather dash and the screen doesn't get anywhere near as mucky as other cars I've had. Your explanation may be the key to that
I can guarantee this gets the results you need ⭐
I'm glad you showed how to clean behind the steering wheel. I find it hard to clean behind the steering wheel
So glad I found your channel cheers for the amazing tips makes me want to clean my own vehicles now 👌
Thank you. Got loads of videos lined up 😃🙏
Thank you so so so much I was sick of cleanin my glass and it looking like shit but at last a real method easy to understand and effective thanks man 👍
Used this today, bang on Dave great tips 👍👍
Amazing nice one. It really does work a treat
This is a game changer! Thank you very much for this tip.
it really is i did make a shorter newer version on my other channel called how to detail
Hi Dave,what a great idea,from this video it works, something else I've learned.
Yeh it does. There is a few things like making sure enough water on surface and that it doesn't dry too quickly before buffing but I've always done this since I started
Will definitely give it a try.
I usually dilute regular dishwashing liquid as it's a great grease cutter
Thanks for the tips
Dude, you are fun to watch. Reconfirm from another youtuber(josh) that plain Water is the best for windows
Any water alone is good enough my frit
Very helpful thanks
Thanks Connor
Always seen these flunkys, never used it.(always thought they were rubbish)😂 . Going to get one at wkend and give your method ago, great vid, been waiting for it.🤣🤣👍
Go for the ones with the holes mate
@@epicautomotivedetailing will do mate👍
Thanks, ordered two off your link before the video finished. Cheers for that.
Did you see this on TV on Friday. I was well happy about showing this to people
@@epicautomotivedetailing Don't watch TV, apologies. They were cheap on your link here at £2.71. Probably order some more for my pensioner neighbour. Cheers.
Since ive bought my ford mondeo mk4 its always had a glare on windscreen used ur method and finally can see haha thanks
Amazing that's so good to see. Glass can be a real pain but this way works a dream
Hi. I am new to your channel. I watched your video and did exactly as you explained. It worked! Loved your humor also!
Thank you glad it worked was an old video i did waffle too much lol
Your a Life saver! I used to use Poundland products and newspapers but 👏🏾
Thanks mate yeh I tried that once but then I got sick of reading the paper 😅
Great video.. thank you for the tip.. I Will definitely try this
Nice one thank you
Thank you for a great tip in what items to use. I did exactly what you did and holy "mind blown" results. ✌out from California, USA😎. Take care and be safe
That's amazing my friend thank you 😊
I use the Autoglym aqua dry on glass, but I still use chemicals. The Kent synthetic chamois is ok too, and cheap. I will try without cleaner next time. Top tips as always.
👍
Trust me give it a go you will never look back
Hate doing the inside of the front window but I’m keen to try this
In colder months blast heater on windscreen to reduce the risk moisture build up 😁
Thank you. It worked brilliantly for me.
Amazing glad it worked for you 🙏
Awesome tip thank you.. going to try this now 😎
Cheers James it really does work
Cheers James it really does work
Thanks from The Netherlands, this is the instruction I was looking for!
Hello to the Netherlands ✋ thanks for watching ♥️🇬🇧
Goed bezig Aart
This is exactly the video I needed thank you. Would white vinegar in the water make it better or worse, or no difference?
Thanks very much. I have a dedicated channel all about how to clean cars now. It's called (how to detail) it may help. And also no I'm against vinegar because this method works fine as it is and vinegar makes your car smell worse
Brilliant video Dave. Such a smart way to clean glass 👌
Thank you very much
Will be trying this as the glass in my passat needs doing, good tips as always
It's worth a try. I use this method as it saves time, money and takes the stress out of it
Hi! I live in the state of Ohio. Sorry, but what is a "flunky" and where do I find one? Thank you.
This is best way best results absolutely brilliant
Thank you Stephen Glad it worked for you!
You've converted me! Much easier and more forgiving if you're not like greased lightening! But how (if indeed you do) do you clean the flunkie? 🤔
Clean with cold water my friend. Hot water will make it stink
@@epicautomotivedetailing perfect, thanks!
Great tip thank you.
What do use to get rid of dead bugs that have been on the screen for over a year??
Hello a good citrus pre wash work's wonders, glass cleaner will take fair few attempts
@@epicautomotivedetailing I use Autobrite citrus pre wash and it hardly touches it.
Top top tip don’t give to many away .love your content please keep the videos coming
Ill try not to. But then if it helps people and gives them one less thing to worry about then im happy
Thanks for showing us this tip Dave, much appreciated! When suitable can you do a show on best use and why the use of TFR, citrus, APC and snow foam. As all these chemicals clean but using snow foam is time consuming an in a lot of cases doesn’t clean as good as TFR. Which brings me on to citrus. Why use it if TFR is available and APC is use inside and outside the vehicle.
Yes of course that's a great idea Greg
Good tips, thanks.
On a different subject, have you ever tried Greased Lightning products? I have only ever used their wheel cleaner, and I rate it highly compared to others I've used, but not tried any of the other products.
Maybe you could do a review sometime if they'll kindly supply you with some test products? 👍
Never heard of it mate sadly
@@epicautomotivedetailing ok, I buy on line, but found them originally at a local wharehouse type shop, JTF, which has now closed
Nice video 👍 DI water is great for windows tbh but no good for cleaning cars as I’ve done both! Give your windows a try with DI water you’ll be absolutely amazing and realise why it’s so popular ✅ same results just 10X faster and safer, I was amazed when I tried it and now clean windows part time as I was that impressed 😎
Amazing that's great 😁👏 cheers for watching
I use kitchen roll . No smears . Easy to apply window cleaner spray onto roll . Wipe off with clean roll
Nice one 👌
Nice video. Thanks 👌
Thank you
This works perfect thanks m8 great job
Hello from Australia :) Great videos and I have never heard the word flunky for a synthetic cleaning cloth before ha. Do you clean your flunky with your microfibre towels? This method for 15yrs - what did you start detailing when you were 5yrs old 😁😁😁
lol i'm 35 but thanks for noticing 😂. You need to try them mate they are amazing
Can you use this method for house windows?
Yes all windows
You r legend bro❤
Thanks Mate
Did try this yesterday and it works great. Finished with the YUM glass and windows looked new. Do you use any Bilt Hamber products Dave?
Oh shit. Forgot to pull the windows down. Next time.
I currently don't us BH but may do vids later in year
nice job. I only don't know how to use that leather wipe properly. In my country it is really expensive... So wiping with a lot of water with the leather cloth and then dry wipe it with a dry towel. Okay...
I never use chemicals but the glass just has to be wet in order to dry it without smears. I use, like you, a synthetic chamois and dry with either an Irish linen tea towel or a microfibre cloth.
