How to Clean Hand Smudges Off Windscreens on the Go

Windscreens protect the driver of the car from the outside environment. However, that isn’t all that the windscreen does. It also allows you to see the road ahead and watch where the other vehicles are going. If something is blocking your view of the road, it could become a massive safety risk. This is why it is important to keep the windscreen clear and free of any dust or scratches that might hamper your eyesight. Even small hand smudges on the windscreen can be a distraction that could prove to be fatal on the road. So, you need to clean them as soon as possible. In this article, we will discuss how to clean hand smudges off windscreen on the go.
 

Items You Need

When trying to clean hand smudges off windscreens you need to keep some items with you in the car at all times. These items can be easily stored in the car’s dashboard and taken out whenever you have to clean a smudge. The items you will need include a bottle of glass cleaner, a bottle of magic eraser and some microfiber towels. You will need the glass cleaner to clean the glass while the magic eraser will remove the smudge. The microfiber towels will ensure that no streaks are formed on the windscreen during the cleaning process.

The Process of Cleaning

You need to start by cleaning the outside portion of the windscreen first. Spray some water and then wipe it down with the microfiber towel. After letting the water dry, you should spray some of the glass cleaner onto another microfiber towel and then wipe it on the windscreen in an up-and-down motion. This will clean the outer part of the windscreen. Make sure that no dust or stains are remaining on the outside portion. This is necessary because it will make it harder for you to spot the smudges forming on the inside half of the windscreen.

When cleaning the inside portion of the windscreen, you need to dry wipe it first using the microfiber towel. Make sure that you wipe down the entire length of the windscreen. Starting from the passenger side of the car move towards the driver’s side. At first, you should wipe the windscreen in a circular motion and then switch to vertical cleaning. This will help in wiping all the dust that had been accumulating on the inside half of the windscreen.

After the dusting part is done, you can easily spot the smudges on the windscreen. Your next step in the cleaning process should be to take the magic eraser and wipe it down on the area of the smudge. If there are multiple smudges, make sure to wipe the magic eraser on all of them. Let the liquid work its magic but don’t let it drop on the dashboard. It can discolour it if you let it stay on the dashboard too long. Dry the liquid sitting on the smudge with a microfiber towel. Now, clean the inside half of the windscreen with the glass cleaner to complete the cleaning process.

Pests Slow Down Vehicle Shipment Processing

Image
Pests can be a danger to both people and crops. For instance, stink bugs are a pest that can cause allergies to people and can be quite damaging to crops like wheat. These bugs aren’t found in Australia and New Zealand but they can be brought into the country via shipments. Stink bugs can easily hide in cars that are being shipped to Australia from the US. This is why it has been deemed compulsory for all vehicle shipments to be treated for pests like stink bugs before they are sent out to sea. While it is a good initiative, it has slowed down vehicle shipment processing.
