Nothing can be more annoying or dangerous as a dirty windshield. A dirty windshield can be very dangerous because it restricts or blocks your view, especially if traveling in an area with a lot of bugs. Keeping the glass on your vehicle clean is as important as checking the oil and tire pressure.
  
A dirty windshield can be very dangerous because it restricts or blocks your view. Especially if traveling in a high bug area such as Florida.

The outside of the glass is not very hard. Choose the glass cleaner of your liking, spray it on liberally, rub vigorously back and fort, and in circles, concentrating on the edges, until clean.

Keeping the glass on your vehicle clean is as important as checking the oil & tires .

==Notes==
 +
*The windshield and back glass are the hardest to get perfectly clean, because of the angle.
 +
*Put a towel on the dashboard to keep any excess liquid from getting into the instrument panel.
 +
*The edges and the area around the rear view mirror are easy to miss -- be sure to focus on them.
 +
*Have a trash bag handy for the used towels.
 +
*If you have a light colored interior, be sure not to set a dirty  paper towel on a seat or piece that the dirt can bleed in.
  
 +
==Rain-X=
 +
''basic description of Rain-X goes here''
  
These things you could have done in a full service gas station , But I have not seen one of them in many years.
+
===Application===
 
+
*Before applying Rain-X, make sure that the glass is perfectly clean. Any dirt or bugs left behind will get sealed in if Rain-X is applied over them.
The out side of the glass is not very hard . choose the glass cleaner of your liking & spray it on liberally,
+
*Apply a generous amount to a clean paper towel, and then squirt it on the glass, applying in a circular motion while not letting any drip off the glass.
rub vigorously back & forth & in circles  concentrating on the edges until clean.
+
*Always make sure you apply to the whole piece of glass.
 
+
*Be careful not to get any onto anything else -- glass only.
I like Windex the best but I am always trying new stuff.
+
*Sometimes more than one application may be needed, especially when using for the first time.
 
+
Vinegar & water can be used if you are unable to buy glass cleaner.
+
 
+
A squeegee can be used too, they come single & double sided .
+
I have a few that are telescopic to clean the glass on my trucks.
+
 
+
Some come with cleaner dispenser inside.
+
 
+
Seems to me the cheaper your paper towels the better they clean.
+
 
+
News Paper also works real well but can leave ink on your hands.
+
 
+
Cleaning the inside mainly the windshield & back glass are the hardest to get totally clean because of the angle.
+
 
+
Put a towel on the dashboard to keep any excess liquid from getting into the instrument panel.
+
 
+
Using a lot of cleaner spray it from top to bottom & rub just like on the out side paying a lot of attention to the edges that seems to be the spot you will not see until later in the night time.
+
And around the rear view mirror.
+
 
+
Have a Plastic trash bag for the used towels be aware if you have a light colored interior not to set a dirty  paper towel on a seat or piece that the dirt can bleed in.
