Windscreen Cleaning - IanW1977
I bought some of those Holte Wipes to clean the inside of my Windscreen but they just smeared it, Wiped off the excess with a paper towel but now they mist up all smeared and type of shiny - What's the best way to clean them ?
It's one of those Ford Quickclear screens if it makes any difference.

Bohle professional glass cleaner from a double-glazing sealed unit maker. It's the best glass cleaner period.

The best ordinary glass polish that I've encountered recently is Turtle Wax Clear Vue glass polish, if applied thinly with a damp cloth, it polishes off beautifully and doesn't smear.

Autoglym glass polish (Halfords stock) is v good, I find. No smears at all.

Lidl's window cleaning spray and a microfibre cloth. Unbeatable.

Scrumpled up sheets of newspaper has been mentioned before on here, but until this afternoon had never given it a go. I can't recall the last time my windows were smear free. Worked a treat.

I'm with AutoGlym Glass Cleaner. Superb for the car but, unfortunately, the other half found out just how good it is (and smear free) so I have to do all the inside windows of the house as well...:-)

Holts interior screen wipes, yep bought those once myself, utterly useless left the screen worse than it was before i cleaned it. No wonder they were reduced.

I find that most domestic glass cleaners work well (eg windolene and the supermarket equivelents), as long as you use a microfiber cloth, or bounty kitchen roll.

Choosing a child seat can be a quite baffling experience – there are so many sizes, types, brands and price points available that you might not know where to start.
