Help! Windscreen inside fat & dirt

Drum&BMWazz · 11-12-2006, 12:30 PM

So i've been a little stupid and used stuff called "Glassex" with a piece of cloth to clean the inside of my windscreen a while ago. That resulted in a fatty and damp windscreen.

So my mom said she had the solution: microfiber cloth. She took one microfiber cloth and made that wet with water, rubbed the window and then dried it off with a dry clean microvessel cloth.

The problem i have now is that when i drive, and there is indirect light, i see about 10 trillion tiny little microfiber-cloth hairs on my windscreen.

What to do? How to get my windscreen inside crystal clean? Thanks!

Not sure what "microvessel" cloth is. But here we have cloth that is called "microfiber". Maybe it is the same? Anyway it does a great job of pulling the film off of windows and of course the left over fibers from other cloths. The trick is to make sure you start with a cloth that has been run through the laundry a time or two to get all the leftover fibers out before using.

I'd try pulling it off with some packing tape.

Don't wash or tumble dry your MF cloths with any cotton towels. Wash them by themselves or with other fabric that doesn't shed. The MF fibers will pick up all the loose cotton fibers in the wash and dryer. I'm sure that's what you're seeing -- cotton fibers. Decent MF towels should not shed fibers.
