Steps to achieving crystal-clear windows

Step 1

Give your car an all-over clean. Apply any external and internal polishes before cleaning your windows.

Step 2

Working one window at a time, spray the cleaner all over the glass.

Step 3

Use the glass microfibre cloth to polish off immediately in a circular motion and buff to a sparkling shine

Cleaning Tinted Car Windows

Tinted car windows look sleek and sexy, providing shade and comfort in Summer along with year-round privacy, However, when window tinting fails it can bring down the appearance of your vehicle – even causing it to instantly devalue. Nine times out of ten, the reason why a well-applied (good quality) car tint bubbles is due to inappropriate cleaners. Cleaners that contain ammonia or other harsh chemicals will break down the adhesive, causing the tint to stretch and create an ugly bubble effect.

Smart Glass is safe to use on tinted glass. Our spray-on glass cleaner is available in 500ml and bulk 4L quantities.
