Tip and Tricks on cleaning a dirty car windshield (Magic Eraser)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Do you have to clean a window or windshield in your car or truck that seems to keep streaking and will not come clean? I come across this often in a car that is owned by a heavy smoker or in the summer when they seem to hit every bug out that night. I have a solution that will cut your time and produce a crystal clean finish.

Love it
The shade LMAOO 👌
Yea should not be driving or using the internet! This is a really stupid one
truly❤❤
There was an oily film on the inside of one of ours cars, which we struggled to get clean. Tried the magic eraser, along with windex...Voila! The windscreen was like new again! Brilliant!!! Thanks heaps for this amazing tip! Cheers 👍🏻😊
I am Happy it helped!!!
Hi Brian. Thank you for this tip for cleaning the windshield, especially the inside. I use the AC all the time in Florida and the windshield gets pretty gunky. Your tip with the Magic Eraser did the trick and it sparkles again. Discovered your channel about a month ago and really appreciate the time and professionalism you put into it. Content creation can't be easy and you do it was skill, style and class. Keep up the good work.
Brian, just a quick THANK YOU for all the tips and tricks that you provide in your awesome detailing videos. Your viewers greatly appreciate all that you do. You’ve helped me more than you know, and from all of us viewers, thank you so much! Keep up the excellent work!!
Thanks, Brian. I have never heard of this very simple recommendation before.
Because of "off gassing", I have always had problems with windshields.
Wow, this man has a LOT of cans of "something" on his shelves there in the back. Whatever it is, it looks like he bought out the full stock of his local town, plus the supply from the neighboring towns. Must be some good stuff there, whatever it is. ;-)
We have a van that sits outside,is not used much(mainly dump runs,etc.) I used the magic eraser with Super Clean diluted 4:1...followed with Gyeon prep...You wouldn't know the windshield was there! such an awesome method. Thank You!!
How does it look once its dark and oncoming traffic lights hit you. I find thats when hidden dirt appears
Hes using that window light to simulate those conditions
i tried this method and i must say iam amazed,no streaks!
🙈🤦🏻♀️I lack common sense these days.... So THANKS for the tips. I HATE cleaning the inner windshield more than any other part of car cleaning.
Just cleaned my windows and they look great Thank you
Great tip! Thanks!
I’ve tried everything...
This worked great! Thank you.
Is there a chance the magic eraser could deglaze the finish? I used it on my formica counters and they lost there shine.
My neighbor wasp- spray left a residue on my new car windshield. Do you recommend magic-eraser with windex for the removal?
Thanks
Thank You for that video!!!!! Perfect
Glad it helped!
I love this❤ makes my windows perfect
good info.
Thank you! I’m going to give this a try. In my case, it isn’t smoking that is the problem (I don’t smoke)....the problem is that the detail place I took my car to must have accidentally got something you clean the dash with on the windshield. I”ve tried several different cleaning products (Windex, vinegar and newspaper, and a fabulous window cleaner that usually works but didn’t this time) and nothing is working...it just keeps smearing whatever the substance is all over the inside of the window. I think it might be something on the order of Armor All? So, I’m hoping this works...if it does, I’ll come back and let you know!
Let me Know how it works in that situation!!!....SHAME on that detailer!!!
Did it work???
Didn’t know there was tea being spilled on this channel😂
Bill Clinton.... Why u are my favorite YT name
I know that you dont normally clean windshields that have been in the sun all day...but could please give some advice or make a video just for that. I work in the sun. all day and cant get it right. help!!!!
Thanks for the tip i hope i have a Good Hand ✋ for this wish me luck
Awsome video, great teacher 🤘
What are you using to wipe the window? You did not explain the method. What types of products i dont understand
Great. Thank You.
What about the outside of the car windshield?
You warned against using the Magic Erasure on tinted windows. I have factory tinted windows in my Subaru. Would they be tinted on the inside? If so then it would be OK to use the ME on the outside. Or vice versa.
awesome ideas...keep them coming!
Thanks Mad Wax! Catchy name!
Thanks man!
worked great...thanks!
All window cleaners suck! Lol the magic eraser makes up for it! Cheers!
Hey
Going to try this on mine.
Just got my windshield replaced and there's like a nasty greasy film on the outside. So I'm going to attempt to get it clean. My old windshield was amazing. Could do 70 without wipers in a light rain on the highway. This new windshield sucks
wax/seal the windshield
Did cleaning it with a magic erase work?
What is the red solution your using? Sorry if I missed it! Love the magic eraser, and the common sense theory 👍
Its a mild cleaner from a local detailing distributor... must be followed up by window cleaner. It cleans well and is safe for windows.. but leaves a tiny bit of residue behind.
I don't know why they call it common sense. If it was common more people would have it.
True.
Common sense ain't that common.
Hi there, great video! Is the Magic eraser safe to use on the rear window with the defrosting element?
Hello Matthew!!! I rarely have a back window that needs the magic eraser...but I can imagine a heavy smoker layering a lot of tar back there. Sure, you can use it back there in rare instances...just not every cleaning. But most importantly....keep it away from aftermarket tint. Hope that helps...cheers!!!
dont do this more than a few times, Magic Erasers are essentially fine grit sandpaper, and are abrasive, might work great to remove film, or grime, but it is also micro scratching your glass too.
Do you think it is ok for tinted windows?
I just went on a 300 mile road trip with my jeep. I think I hit about a quarter of the bugs in the U.P. of Michigan. Several large hits from June bugs and no-see-um swarms. I got home and left my jeep in the driveway all day yesterday and haven't cleaned the guts off my windshield yet. Do you think a magic eraser will clean it? I mean it's crazy, like frat boys with paintball guns...
I thing this would work great on that problem!👍
I was able to get a magic eraser today two days of dried bugs and it worked great. Thanks
Thanks alot sir
What’s the first window solution you use because the problem is on my windows I have where the stickers were when I bought the car the residue was still there and it’s drives me crazy. Plus water spots are a big problem.
I use Rapid Remover for adhesives. Water spots are removed with IGL Glass Plus
There is a video out there by Chris Fix who shows how to clean the a windshield like you are, but he said to use WARM water with the magic eraser , can you use that instead ?
As you raise the temperature of water.. you raise its acidity.. which helps clean surfaces a bit better. I had an existing sealant that I did not want to completely remove. So I chose not to heat the water. It definitely an option. Hope that helps
Where do you buy your essential brands magic erasers from? I can’t find those anywhere.
I have a question pls. When a person leaves the car door open while doing their work inside how does this effect the car battery? Thank you in advance. Chandra Leigh
Chandra..... when I started doing this... I killed plenty of batteries. If its an extensive interior detail... I hook up my charger or unhook the battery or even block the switch. Keeping the doors open can drain a battery quickly!
Turn up your volume.
Will do. Thank you for the heads up!👍🏻
Can I do this on the exterior of the windshield????
Watch the video
@@Brian-dj3ru thanks for the worthless response.
Yes
No. It will shatter into a trillion billion pieces.
BRIAN STILL ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS VERY MUCH, I THOUGHT YOUR GO TO GLASS CLEANER WAS ARDEX CLASS CLEANER ? CHERRS !
i can remove waterspots on the glass?
Hello Jose`!!! If the spots have not been in the sun too long... it will remove them. If not, I have a video coming out that shows how to remove them in 15-20 min.
I need this video for my car BAD!!!
oh just use fresh lemon, cut in half, rub on glass, or better squezze lemon juice into small cup, use brush and apply to glass, cover whole glass, let it sit for 1 minute, wipe it off, then use glass cleaner. Its a chemistry stuff water deposit (calcium based) vs lemon juice (acid), will work believe me
What's the name of the song used in the beginning?
Its one of the very few songs IMovie provides in their editing app...called Neon
have you noticed any haze or streaking after using this method?
Brandon McB Mop up with a quality window towel. Any method you use, remember... follow up with decent towels and there will be no streaking.
what is APC? I am new to car detailing, but very willing to learn.
APC is an acronym for All Purpose Cleaner 😉
omit remarks.
Its gets really clean but after 2 days it starts to get so greasy again
I tried the magic eraser this morning to try and get the oily film off the inside of my window and it didn't seem to help, I'm struggling to get the oil out
Try Citrol on the magic eraser
@@issuma8223 what is citrol
@@iguardwisconsinberry8830 It's a degreaser made from oranges. Cleans bug splatter off the front of your car faster than anything else. I recently used it to clean rubber stains off my window left by the wiper blades.

I just wanna have my windows cleaned 😭 I know I can get them clean I’ll come back to update
I did it! It helped a lot using clean microfiber towels bought a 30 pack. Used some Sprayway cleaner ammonia free. Magic eraser did the trick used on front and interior windshield. Thank you 🙏🏽 it’s simple enough. Oh and I did it in shade. Gonna make sure to have those dedicated to my windows.
I also just learned I have pitting on my windshield not just random dots 🤦🏽♂️ could see them better when cleaning and then thinking that I didn’t clean well enough but no it’s rock chips lol I think eventually I’ll have to get it replaced
Where do you buy your microfiber towels??
JBIRD575 The Rag Company and here👉🏻www.ardexautomotiveandmarine.com/products/microfiber-towel
im so glad that was asked, i bought some from amazon and im still trying to get windows clean on all my vehicles, something almost like glue, i clean and clean and when it should be good my rags would still stick, i ran out of energy tonight and quit using the eraser, seems like its going to work i just have to wait and wash or buy some more towels tomorrow. i'll order some of those tonight.
Is magic eraser safe on glass? It’s not abrasive?
It works perfectly fine on glass it's not that abrrasive it's like a super fine sandpaper glass takes a lot to scratch even 0000 grade steel wool is good for polishing windows but must be 0000 grade however don't use magic eraser on paint or interior plastic etc as u can cause damage if you go to hard on it. It's not safe on aftermarket tinted windows only do it on regular windows/factory tint is fine as long as it's not got a tint film it can damage
Where can I get common sense from? I can't find it anywhere.
Walmart. They do sell some there . Don't be shy. Go and give it a try.
Why didn't you use magic eraser on the outside?
Did you watch?
Or driver has bad breath
Bruh, my windshield has never been cleaned. Gonna have some fun....
Can i use this on a factory tinted window ?
Please no I ruined my tints 😂
@@dylanmaxard5822 So sorry to hear that . I have new rav4 . Thanks for letting me know
wow your talented after a min of video your talking but mount not moveing i thought video swap to Foreign video and what common sense i am to poor to have any cents and to poor to pay attention it been better but i guess you don’t hsve long enough reaching into the other side do left to right
What about on tinted Windows?
Not for after market tint...my bad for not mentioning.
I've used the magic eraser on aftermarket tint and haven't had any issues.
But like you said in the video i'm not scrubbing the window. Using no pressure just letting the abrasive do it's job.
Trent Hallmark repeated use may cause problems. Keep in mind Trent.... we understand that... but a lot of people without common sense watch these videos. 😃
Love your straight to the point videos. But I think you would get more subs if you had a better camera :) and edit your video's better
I appreciate the input... and thank you. Check out one of my newer vids... are they a bit better? Look forward to the feedback 👍🏻
Looks great to me but then again I'm not a movie critique.
To me was a good video!!
Why the people complain with everything. 🙄😬🤔
@@apexdetail85 2 years later and YES your vids are awesome now. :)
Okay WTF is a magic eraser?That Mr. Clean thing?
Yes....the Mr. Clean thing😉
Common sense does not live near me.
I’m turning this off. Right now. On dead bugs.
Requires common sense?... I'll see myself out! 😉🤣
Nothing new here, really.
Use
common sense jajajaa
Any tips on how to stop my windows from digging up?
