How to clean car glass that has been stained for a long time
After a long time of use, the glass surface of a car can easily become opaque, yellow, and moldy, affecting the aesthetics as well as driving safety.
The most common is calcium deposits on the glass. The cause of this phenomenon is due to water remaining on the glass for a long time and precipitating into dirt and calcium deposits.
Water on the car's windshield can be rainwater or dirty water splashed from the road surface. If not cleaned immediately, it leaves dirty and yellow stains on the glass surface.
Long-term cloudy car windows not only affect the aesthetics of the car but also reduce the driver's vision when having to observe the front. It is especially dangerous when driving in low light conditions or bad weather.
Therefore, car owners need to regularly clean the car's glass and remove calcium deposits on the glass periodically because the longer the stains stay, the harder they will be to clean.
Some ways to remove calcium deposits and stains on car windows
Use lemon
According to the experience of experienced drivers, you can remove calcium deposits at home with just a lemon. The lemon is cut into thin slices and rubbed directly on the glass surface, then rinsed with water and wiped with a dry cloth.
However, this method only applies to new stains. For stubborn old stains, it is difficult to completely clean.
Use specialized detergents
There are many types of specialized car glass cleaners on the market today, so using a specialized cleaning solution is considered the most effective and simple. The detergent content in the specialized cleaning solution does not cause glass corrosion.
The task of specialized car cleaners will usually focus on removing calcium deposits, mold stains caused by rainwater, grease, and dirty water.
Note when cleaning stains on car glass
Do not use detergents to clean the car's painted surface, as these detergents may corrode the car's paint.
All cleaning agents should not be used on glass that has been coated with protective coatings, tinted glass, or mirrored glass, as these solutions may corrode the protective coatings, tinted glass, or mirrored glass.
Use specialized cloths for car windows to avoid scratches on the glass during cleaning due to using cheap cloths.
