How to Super Clean your Windshield

Hey guys, ChrisFix here and today I'm going to show you real quickly something neat that I learned that I do to detail my cars the windshield here is all dirty and everything and you know it's one thing to use some glass cleaner and clean it off but I'm gonna actually show you how to use wax carnuba car wax and make it shine and repel water better than rain-x and it'll last a lot longer and then all you have to do is you get a towel after you do this and if there's any bug splatters or whatever you just wipe it off and it comes right off so I'm gonna go show you how to do that right now just to give you an idea you can see the windshields all dirty water doesn't do a good job repelling off of it when it's raining you can see how it's not really beating up sure it flows off but you see how it's all blurry when you use the wax and you get it really nice and clean it will be very clear so you don't even need to use your windshield wipers if you don't want to first step is to use an ammonia based windshield cleaner glass cleaner uses regular paper towel to clean it good press nice and hard you want to get all that dirt off this stuff is super important because depending on how clean you make it right now is going to make the windshield turn out either really nice or not very nice at all before you put your wax on you want to get this windshield spotless make sure you hose off the ammonia based cleaner you don't want any of that ammonia on there you watch the water run down and you'll see like there's a little spot here and you could clean it off just like that and then now we're going to dry this finish drying with a microfiber cloth this will get any of the paper towel pieces off the window any link or whatever just add a little bit of water to your wax it shouldn't absorb or anything should just beat up and get your microfiber towel rub it in there just like that now we're going to apply the wax onto the windshield finish up you should go without saying you always apply wax in a circular motion so the whole windshield is now covered with wax now you're going to go let that wax dry and once it's dry so that when you do that it comes off you're going to go and take it off with a another microfiber towel so now to test to see if this is ready all you do is you find a spot and you rub your finger and you can see how it's like there's pieces coming up and then below it it's nice and clear that means it's ready to to get polished up and now you can just take a microfiber cloth and polish it up just like if you're going to polish the body of your car so you could really see the difference here nice and smooth finish it off with a fresh microfiber towel and then you're done let's go see how it turned out if you're going to clean your windshield let's just say you get a bug splatter doesn't come off very easily just get it a little wet and rub it off don't use any any chemicals on it cause then it'll mess up your your wax your nice layer of protection look at that beads right up totally different than before very nice so this is how I do my windshield I do it on my vette just like this and the people at shows love it gives it a real nice shine in the Sun as well so now I'm going to go show you what it's actually like in use when it's raining down on the highway and let me know what you think let me know if you have your own little techniques leave it in the comments as a tip or whatever and maybe I'll throw it in the annotations if it's really good and maybe I give it a shot - it's like like the video subscribe to see more how-to videos and comment below so here's the windshield nice and clean and waxed and you can see that's working really well the droplets are going right up and over the car and it's given me a really good visibility it's raining here and I'm not even using my windshield wipers and I'm not having any problems at all seeing outside when the windshield wiper goes on it's nice and smooth and it's clear some other ideas were to use wax to same procedure right on your chrome bumpers so that falls right off beads up and is also protected another idea rear windows any windows really it's a good idea especially if you don't have a windshield wiper it rolls right off so give it a try

Great idea, I never thought to do this with a carnauba based wax. I always used Zaino on my windshield since it was ok to use on rubber/windows.

I haven't tried waxing my windshield, but in the video I thought the windshield looked better before wax. Idk it was hard to tell. Is this really a good idea?

Sorry to say, but his 'after' with the hose looks horrible. The 'beads' of water are of irregular shape. With rainx, they are far more spherical and fly off the glass. Looks like a big waste of time and money.

I don't care what he says. In that clip at the end, he really should be using his wipers. That visibility at around 4:20 is shit.

I have been subconsciously wanting to do this to my windows, now I know how. Any advice for the interior side? I am finding they fog up and attract dirt way more than i'd like.

This is more of a show-car trick, not for daily driving. Always use your wipers and remember that waxing glass causes glare.
