Why Keeping Car Glass Spotless Matters
Clean windshields and windows aren’t just about appearance—they’re essential for safety. Clear glass improves visibility, reduces glare, and lowers the risk of accidents, especially at night or during bad weather. Regular cleaning also prevents the buildup of dust, grime, and streaks that can slowly impair your vision and make driving less safe.

Why This Trick Works
Vinegar is a natural acid that breaks down grease, grime, and mineral deposits. When mixed with distilled water, it evaporates quickly, reducing streaks. Microfiber cloths are especially effective because their fine fibers trap dirt and moisture instead of spreading it around
