In such cases, if it's a small, single bubble, you can use a large needle to puncture the bubble and then smooth the glass with a cotton cloth to make the bubble disappear. If the bubble is close to the edge of the glass, you can also use a card like a bank card, wrapped in a soft cotton cloth, to gently scrape the bubble toward the edge. If it doesn't work the first time, try scraping it a few more times. Car enthusiasts should pay attention to the following points when applying film: 1. Environment: Choose a decoration company with a closed, dust-free workshop, as applying film is most afraid of dust, and it's hard to avoid dust and sand in open-air street operations. 2. Technical skills: Select a skilled and responsible film application technician, which is particularly important. You can ask friends or colleagues for recommendations. 3. Precautions after film application: Within three days after applying the film, do not roll down the car windows or wash the car, and avoid using the glass heating function to prevent the film from peeling off due to moisture. The drying time varies depending on the weather and material, ranging from as fast as 2 days to as slow as 7-15 days. If stains appear on the film surface, do not use chemical solvents to wipe them. It's best to use a clean wet towel, water-soaked paper towels, or a cotton cloth with detergent for cleaning. To maintain aesthetics, avoid attaching suction cups or adhesives to the film, as this can easily cause the film to peel off.

I've been driving for over a decade, and wavy streaks on the windshield are quite common. They usually form from water stains not being wiped clean after washing the car or from dust buildup. Those distorted light reflections can affect driving safety. To safely remove them, I often use a microfiber cloth with household glass cleaner or diluted white vinegar solution, wiping in straight lines from top to bottom—never in circles, as that can make it worse. For grease stains, just spray some isopropyl alcohol on the cloth and gently wipe. Remember not to use rough towels or paper towels, as they can scratch the glass. Minor wavy streaks can be handled yourself, but if they're severe, it's better to seek professional polishing to avoid blurred vision during rain. Regularly cleaning the windshield during maintenance and avoiding wax-based cleaners can also prevent recurrence.

I've been into cars for a while, and the wavy patterns on the windshield can be quite annoying. It's easier to handle them by type: For oil-based wavy marks, use professional glass cleaner with a high-quality microfiber cloth and wipe in one direction. If it's minor scratches causing the waves, try commercial glass polishing compound for hand polishing, but avoid applying too much pressure. For prevention, I recommend thoroughly drying the glass immediately after washing the car and using good-quality wiper blades to reduce smearing. If left untreated, these wavy patterns can make driving at night or on reflective road surfaces exhausting, posing high safety risks. From car enthusiast circles, I've learned that regularly using water-repellent sprays like Rain-X can reduce stain buildup. If DIY polishing doesn't yield satisfactory results, don't delay—seek help from a repair shop promptly.

Last week I just dealt with the wavy streaks on my car glass. They were annoying but not a big deal. The cause might have been leftover soap from washing or dirty wipers dragging marks. I sprayed some rubbing alcohol on an old T-shirt and scrubbed hard a few times, which made it much better—cost nothing and was quick. A friend also taught me a method using diluted kitchen detergent sprayed and wiped clean. Minor wavy streaks don’t affect daily use, but if they’re too distracting while driving, just grab a bottle of supermarket glass cleaner to fix it. Prevention is simple: carefully wipe the glass when washing the car—don’t slack off. If you can’t handle it, spend a few dozen bucks at a car wash for professional treatment—hassle-free and effortless.
