Dirty Inside Windscreen

[idaho1]

Hey guys, my windscreen inside the car is constantly dirty and I've tried cleaning it with everything, window cleaner, car window anti fog cleaner, polish, newspaper, water, etc.. and none of them work. it still has a 'film' of dirt I guess is the way to describe it, and it's not very visible in the day but at night when other cars lights shine on it, it's hard to see sometimes.

Any advice on what I could use to clean it with?

Cheers

not smoking in the car are you?

My local filling station had some wipes that worked wonders, although it took a couple of goes.

And before Dave hollers, I don't smoke, no one has in the car since I have had it.
However I do have my blowers normally on the screen and set for fresh air, not recirculated - you would be amazed at the crap that builds up on the screen over time.

I found a bottle of meths under the sink and that did the trick.

Does your car have a pollen filter and if so, have you tried changing it?

Autoglym Car Glass Polish works best for me, but don't use it on plastic as it might scratch.

I'm one of those guys who hate dirty windscreens, I'm forever cleaning them, but I'm surprised that the inside of yours seems to have some sort of film. A last resort is some sort of solvent cleaner, meths was mentioned as well. After this cleaning I find that an anti static glass cleaner does stave off the crap for a while.

I was thinking something like meths or vinegar.

Any sort of cloth you'd reccomend I use with it?

Auto-Glym Car Glass polish is mint

Strangely it smells (and looks) like Head & Shoulders though

Check your interior ( pollen) filter, it has to be replaced at least once a year, if it's dirty it will spread dirt over your window(s), as soon as you start the car...!!!

A bloke i know who owns a windscreen company once told me to use Ammonia to get rid of it. Don't think it would smell very nice inside the car though.

Ammonia will dry out/ destroy the rubber seal, so watch out...!!
Use only window cleaner designed for cars...!!
