What to Do When the Inside of Car Glass Gets More Blurred the More You Wipe It?

Use a dry cloth to wipe, but not too hard to avoid scratching the glass, then clean directly with glass cleaner, and finally wipe clean with a warm, damp cloth. If the spots on the car glass cannot be wiped off, try applying a little toothpaste, which may have unexpected effects. Avoid using abrasive cleaners on the vehicle's glass as such damage can affect the driver's visibility. Car owners can first wipe the glass with a damp cloth, then use a clean damp cloth dipped in a little alcohol or even liquor to vigorously wipe the car glass.
The inside of the car windshield got smeared, which I think is quite common. The main reasons are oil from hands or smoke residue from smoking in the car. Using an ordinary cloth to wipe it often makes it worse. I suggest trying a different method: buy some automotive-specific glass cleaner, spray it on, and wait about ten seconds for the stains to soften before wiping. Then, use a clean microfiber cloth to gently wipe, avoiding vigorous back-and-forth scrubbing. Remember to wash the cloth regularly, or accumulated dust will ruin the cleaning. For prevention, avoid placing odorous items in the car and open the windows before driving to reduce humidity. A smeared windshield makes it dangerous to see the rearview mirror clearly, especially in the rain, so I make it a habit to clean it weekly for peace of mind and safety.
From personal experience, scratched glass is often caused by improper cleaning methods. The reasons may include oil film or static electricity attracting dust, with residual water or chemicals exacerbating the issue. I've tried using a microfiber cloth with diluted white vinegar water, spraying it on the surface and letting it sit for a few minutes before wiping; remember to use gentle motions and wipe in one direction to avoid circular marks. Choose neutral-formula cleaners to minimize residue. For severe cases, check if there's coating damage requiring professional treatment. Prevention involves minimizing contact with the glass surface and using the air conditioning to dehumidify while driving. Scratched glass not only impairs visibility but also increases driving fatigue—prompt action is key, and developing good habits can prevent it.
