Chris, small tip, use a bath towel on the dash to catch drippings from the squeegee so your dash does not have spots
Yes good tip!
🤦🏻♂️ Why didn’t I think of that? Awesome tip - thank you! 👍🏼
Great tip 👍
I seriously thought that was THE TIP. And they should also sell a squeegee that has a drain to collect the drippings into a container in the handle.
Preferably someone else's towel.
Hey bought the tool - did the windshield - saw the results - did a happy dance! Easy, most effective cleaning of the inside of a windshield in my 72 years on the planet.
46 years old and now I find you. Thank you. No more purchasing random cleaners that do nothing right when using all the wrong tools.
Edit: Watched this video a few months ago, but just tried this method today, way too easy.
73 and now I find you.
I love videos like this! You teach, you entertain, and you get straight to the point without a lot of nonsense. No background music over the talking, a great sense of humor, and a very useful tip. I love people like you. Thank you for sharing.
That is such great feedback!! Thank you for that and for taking the time to comment!!
And no robotic monotone voice over. This guy is creative and entertaining and informative - the trifecta!
And I love people like you who love people like him.
I also like that he did not block captioning.
I agree. Asding value back to youtube content! Thank you very much
This is what the internet is for. Thank you. Btw, loved the shot of you using your feet to clean the windshield.
A sock to the foot fetishists (half of the great toes up).
The foot was hilarious

Oh yes, the foot shot! 🤣🤣
And the camera at the bottom of the bucket!
This is like a miracle! Like many of you, I've tried a wide range of products to try and get that thick hazy grime off the inside of my windshield, to no avail. Driving at night was especially bothersome, as the lights from oncoming cars would cause a heavy glare effect, greatly distorting my ability to see the road in front of me. I park outside and the sun beats on that car. So, I came upon Chris Notap's video. Hmmm. It looked too easy, but I was willing to give it a try.
OK, so I went onto Amazon and purchased the green & orange squeegee that Notap recommended. It arrived today. So, I got me a bucket, added 2" of water to it, did a circular swirl of Dawn dishwashing liquid into the water, and went to attack that grimy windshield. I rubbed the soapy water onto the windshield with great gusto. Then I went over it a second time. Sudsy droplets fell all over my dash. I did not care! I meant business! Then, I took that squeegee, and did just like Chris Notap in this video. Left to right with squeegee in hand, and after each swipe I wiped its edge with a clean dry cloth.
It was an overcast drizzly day, so when I was done, I couldn't tell how effective my efforts were. But, after the sun went down, I purposefully got in my car and went for a drive. Well, I tell you -- I was absolutely amazed. It was unbelievable! No haze anywhere on that glass! Under the streetlights, my windshield was sparkling clear. There was zero glare blinding me from the headlights of oncoming cars! I tell you -- I feel like I'm on a natural high! When I got back, I said to myself, "I have to leave a comment on Notap's video!!" So, here it is! Yes! Yes! Yes!
That's fantastic!
Yep, I agree. Having tried Mr . Clean eraser and failed (despite videos saying otherwise) this video confirmed that the BEST option is the squeegee. The new nugget was the use of dawn dish soap to cut the grime which behaves like grease. Both together successfully remove the streaks and glare from the inside of the windshield that has become the bane of my car maintenance existence. I concur that adding a large towel to the dashboard helps to catch some of the drip. Good work with this video.
I got high reading all that😅😅
Probably a great way to do house windows also! Gonna give it a try!
I should have read your comment before asking the question about that same issue thanks.
If you use the squeegee to clean the outside of the windshield too, go from top to bottom instead of side-to-side. That way, if you should happen to see any streaks, you’ll know right away if they are on the inside or out.
Good tip!
great idea
Gold tip.
Brilliant, Jeff!!!!! I'm an old guy and never thought of that...:) Thanks!!
Dag Nabbit that's a good idea, 🤦♂️all these dang years, so simple, duh 🙄....don't mind me just having one of those "I'm an idiot, why didn't I think of that moments" lol
Pro tips for any inside (and outside) window cleaning :
1. - Make sure the squeegee rubber is in good condition.
2. - Wipe the cloth down the edge you start from,this stops any bits being dragged along.
3. - Ensure you wipe the blade AND the top corner of the squeegee rubber with a damp cloth after every pass.
4.- Allow a good margin of overlap on each pass to avoid water lines.
5. - Put a towell underneath to catch the drips.
i noticed those drips, thanks
WAIT A MINUTE…over the last 50 years I have bought n tried every brand of Glass cleaner - isopropyl alcohol - 20% vinegar and many other things I can’t remember…
I decided to give your method a try … and guess what ? It really WORKS !!! I cannot believe how easy it was and the glass is sparkling clean on the inside and out side ! THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH 👍🏻😘
Yes!! It's really easy and it leaves no streaks! Thanks for that great feedback!!
All the ''professional'' window cleaners just use water and dish soap.
@@dhuze66 very TRUE but they don't have to deal with that strange mess that clings to a cars interior glass !
@@jeffu.8053 i did buy it and ... it wasn't a winner !
@@diverdave4056 which one? dawn soap or commercial cleaner?
Thanks Chris. I had a residential window cleaning business 30 years ago and still have an 8" squeegee from those days that I keep in the car and have ever since used on the inside windshield. Dishsoap in water, wet cloth, dry cloth. Easy. Never thought to make a video. Squeegee works well on foggy side mirrors and side windows too on wet winter days.
I've been testing dozens of ways for years to get a windshield clean like you did, thanks for saving me many more years of trying, I'm doing it your way. 👍
Thanks Chris! I just did my windshield as instructed in the video (same squeegee n all - arrived a couple days ago!), the whole process took maybe 5 minutes, if that. And the results are exactly what I've wanted! My car is 3.5 years old and the windshield has had that awful smudgy haze on the inside for most of that time. I had given up trying to clean it because other attempts did nothing to make it better. Thanks again! 😁
That's fantastic!! Thanks for that great feedback!!
I been using the foot method for the past 79 years, never had an issue but I may try this. Thanks Chris!
Lol! Yes, the foot method!
Really? So you are more than 100 years old..
I’m not very frustrated at how long I’ve lived while doing this in the hardest way possible. It is so simple but I never thought to do it this way. Thanks so much for the tip! Cleaning me and my wife’s windshields tomorrow!
Glad it helped!
Why has your wife got windshields?
@@raybeer5213 Maybe he meant his wife's headlights?
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! I always dread 'that moment' when you realize it's necessary to clean the car's inside glass. You know, the inside surface gets that foggy-hazy patina that is worse at night with the glare of oncoming headlights. I've tried a few other methods shown in other YT videos but none have worked as advertised...very disappointing. There's always streaking and/or areas that just weren't clean afterward requiring re-do. But I saw this method of Chris's and thought it had promise, so I bought the little squeegee and tried it last week. It amazed me! Not only did it work, it was almost easy! (Almost) It's been a week now and I'm still amazed at how good a job it did, I don't remember ever getting such excellent results. I did my outside windows too and afterward it was like looking at a new car's windows in the dealer showroom...they were super clean, just like in the video. Try this method!
Things I found that worked well:
1. The squeegee is perfect for car widows. As mentioned in the video, the frame doesn't extend to the ends of the squeegee, letting me get right up to the very edge of, well, everywhere without scratching anything.
2. I could use the squeegee upside down, as the blade works either way. Why is this important? My windshield has a significant slant putting the bottom, where it meets the dash, at arm's length. Always a problem for me. But by using the squeegee upside down I was able to easily squeegee upward from the bottom, up and and off to the side, for easy follow-up.
3. Mild water and dish detergent solution is an excellent cleaning solution, it very effectively cuts through the dirty film (you know what I mean). No special 'window cleaner' needed (think Windex).
4. Cleans the rear window with that bumpy inside defroster grid without fear of damaging the grid elements. The squeegee is soft silicone rubber which is not abrasive and doesn't induce any wear.
5. Much faster than the 'spray-and-wipe' system. No re-do needed. When you're done, you're done!
Things that didn't work well:
1. It's a squeegee system. Where does the squeegee'd solution go? Gravity says "down", so it drips. I put a towel down on my slippery vinyl dash beforehand but fought trying to keep it in place. In the end I gave up and let the drips fall where they may. Drip clean up was easy though, so no harm, no foul.
2. There is no #2, the dripping issue was the only detractor for me. And honestly...so what?
I use these squeegees to smooth over plaster repairs. They don’t drag any particles across the wet plaster. Never thought to use for the inside of my windshield! Great video!
I found this method recently for my huge living room windows, and couldn't believe how great and quick it worked. For some reason I never thought of it for my car windows, until now. I've never had a clean windshield, ever! Now I will. Thank you so much.
Glad it helped!
I was always using rags or other pieces of towels being in different positions walking back and fourth to the seats in my car and getting tired sometimes, I will definitely use your tip. Thanks Chris! Good video!
Ha brilliant I have been doing this for years now! I have been a window cleaner for the last 21 years and got fed up trying to clean it with rags and it was the best thing I have done 🙂 good work with sharing it with the world.
This method is so simple but really helps. Like many of those responded, I tried so many different methods, also expensive, nothing works this well. Now I clean the windows around the house too! Thank you for sharing !
Chris, you've got the best DIY stuff on the 'net! I used your idea with the wet/dry vac and mason jar to change the oil in our mowers and small engines. We've got 3 small push mowers, a generator, a roto-tiller and a snow blower and changing the oil was a real job. Then I came across your video with the wet/dry vac and gave it a try. It turned a horrible job into a piece of cake!! Keep up the good work!
I'm a professional cleaner and I use Dawn to clean all glass, windows, mirrors, showers. If it leaves your dishes streak-free it will work on other glass.
100% correct!!
I just tried this method, can’t thank you enough for posting this. Windshield looks fabulous!!!
I ordered that same squeegee from Amazon the other day. Can't wait to try this method. I always leave streaks on my windshield. Thanks for a great video!
You are the man for this video..thank you. For years I have tried to clean my windshield without having streaks. I saw your video and said what the heck. I tried it and BAM!!! Streak free 👍🏾
Worked great, had to pay close attention on the edges but still was so quick and easy! 🥳 I used two bath towels laid over the dash to keep it dry like Dan M suggested in the comments. I will be ordering a few more of these squeegees as presents for family 👍👍
I'm sure your family will be 'over the moon' to get such exciting gifts . . .
I had no idea there were squeegees like this! I use this exact method to clean my house windows and it works great. Now I can do my car windshield. I'm glad I found this channel. I'm going to get one of these squeegees right away.
Been doing this for years now! It absolutely is the easiest and best way to clean those inside windows 😃✨
Awesome! My dirty inside windshield has been driving me nuts lately. Finally a quick, easy fix. I just ordered a squeegee using your link. 👍🏼 Now can you invent a time machine so you can go back and teach me all these hacks 30 years ago so I could have been less frustrated in life? 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks, Chris!
Those squeegees are available at Walmart for $7.99.
Don't bother waiting for the squeegee. Pick up any old newspaper, and start wiping. There is no better way to clean glass.
Peace
Yes! Let’s make a looooooong list of all our wasted efforts and regrets in life while we’re at it. One could lose their mind thinking about it all.
Seeing you use your socked foot to awkwardly wipe the windshield is exactly the laugh I needed today. Thank you! ☺️
If they gave out youtube awards for best of the year, this one should surely win. Simple, easy and amazing results. . Thanks Chris.
Thank you, Chris Notap. I have been trying for YEARS to find some way to clean my car windows without leaving them streaked or still smudged. Then I tried your system...excellent. Best my windows have ever looked. Thank you again, sir, much appreciated.
That's great!
Did this today and it works like a charm! Will never go back to any other way but this. And you’re right, it takes no time to do this, matter of fact you can do all windows in your car in no time flat. Excellent video !
That's great! Thanks!!
I ran across Chris's video months ago and have been using this procedure ever since. It's a real game changer. I use it on my golfcart windshield as well and is equally effective. I even started using the wet microfiber towels after I was done to wipe down all the mirrors. A bowl of water with a couple drops of dawn goes a long way! Thanks again Chris! 👏👏👏
he sure aint no pro window cleaner -- u dont wipe of soapy and still dirty water
@@josephocallaghan3000 none of us are pros here, but I'd be damned if this doesn't work perfectly. You should try it, you might be surprised!
@@mygt8a4re I am a pro - so listen up good
@@josephocallaghan3000 🤣
I’ve tried many ways .. this way works GREAT! Thanks ! I hate cloudy dirty inside windshields plus clean ones make such a difference driving at night
Just bought the squeegee! DEF trying this! One of my most dreaded chores!!! THANK YOU
Hi Chris, Thank you. Easy but great solution. I have been struggling with windshield-inside dirt since so many days. Thank you. Appreciate your time.
This system works great !! I've have tried over and over again to clean the windshields on my car and truck. Windex and paper towels, windex and towels and windex with newsspaper. I cound never get it real clean. After seeing this video, I ordered one of the squeegee's and just tried it out. WOW, what a suprise. Thank you so much for posting this, I will no longer dread cleaning the windshields anymore.
Years ago, a local postal worker was cleaning the plate glass windows at the PO with a bottle of carbonated water and told me I could use the same thing on the inside of my windshield. Well, I don't normally buy carbonated water, but I since being informed, I HAVE used sugar-free carbonated soft drinks and paper napkins to clean when the windshield looks obnoxious! Worked quite well, and I always had those items on hand. Still didn't solve the human anatomical aspect of the problem, but this new approach looks intriguing! I hope it'll work as well for me as it does for Chris... I never tried the sock-foot technique due to a bad knee! Thanks for a tremendously-entertaining tutorial! 😺💕🐾
Chris, love your videos and really happy to see you posting again. I’m off to change my lawnmower oil thanks to one of your other great vids!
Thanks for the tip!! The inside of the windshield on my 2016 Charger has been a problem to clean for years. I will use your technique tomorrow.
I just cleaned the windshield on our van with my awesome squeegee and Dawn soap, amazing! Thanks for sharing this with us!
My dad taught me to clean windows with vinegar and water and newspapers because he said it left them without streaks. This is a much easier idea. Thank you so much for the info❤❤
I've used a squeegee as my preferred method of cleaning windows for 40+ years. Sadly, it didn't occur to me to use it for cleaning the windshield on our vehicles until about a year ago. It is so much better! I use a larger squeegee with a sponge on the opposite site, but it is awkward to maneuver. I'm going to pick up the smaller squeegee and give it a try.
This does work great! I also go over my entire windshield after cleaning, using "0000" steel wool which is the finest you can buy for those that aren't aware. This final step removes everything the cleaner missed, and make the glass look near new!
I used to work for a window cleaning service in Houston TX. We used Palmolive dish soap.
Great tip. Thanks.
Have been using this method for a number of years now, it's the only way to get a squeeky clean and smear free window in no time. Hey, I even always have a spray bottle with dish soap water in the car 😊.
Wonderful 👍👍👍 I can’t believe I’ve waited this long to discover something so simple! I hate a messy windshield 😂 💪💪💪
Worked GREAT , 14 optima sxL windshield almost laid flat and clear as a bell. THANK YOU
Unbelievably helpful 👏. It really worked! I watched several other youtube window cleaning videos about using vinegar & water, class cleaners, lint-free cloths, newspaper, etc. After several attempts trying each method, NONE of them worked well on my vehicle front windshield. This one did 👍. Thank you very much for posting 😁.
Glad it helped!
Thank you for taking the time to share! Very handy. I had better results when doing this without being in direct sunlight and also using a karcher window vac to avoid some of the drips! Overall though, I appreciate you sharing 😊
I just got that squeegee in the mail yesterday and cleaned the inside of my windshield. Put towels on the dashboard per the suggestions below from viewers. I used a green pad side of a wet sponge with some dishwashing liquid on it. I ended up having to use the towels to wipe up the small water lines left by the squeegee, but the inside of my windshield is clean now and it was easier to clean than it's ever been before. Thanks a million!
Fantastic!
Just got through using this method and it worked great! Would have done it earlier but had to wait on my squeegee to come in! Thank you sir for sharing!
I always learn from what comes out of your practical mind. Thank you!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for combining humor and actually useful info into a concise video. Well done!
Thanks for that great feedback!!
My husband just came across this video and I think it's fun to watch. Thanks for your friendly humour. Thanks for sharing what it looks like from inside the bucket. That was something I'd never seen before. Fun and interesting.
Lol! Thanks for that great feedback Tanner!! I really appreciate that!
Thank you so much! Very glad I found this video. I bought the same squeegee and followed the steps from Chris and it worked perfectly on the inside of my windshield. Thank you again
You're welcome!
It is tricky cleaning the windscreen. I have had trouble trying to get it clean. Thank you so much for sharing!
Well I cleaned my windshield of my Escalade today (inside and out) after purchasing that squeegee you recommended and I must say it was the easiest one I’ve ever done! Thank you for this awesome tip! Tomorrow the wife and I are headed to leaf peeping on the Kancamagus Highway with a super clean windshield. Some hiking will be involved so not all behind the clear glass!
I don't envy you the traffic.
Thank you for the tips. Your demonstration of what we all do was great. Made me smile.
Just got my first car a few months ago. Purchased a squeegee to clean the inside windshield without really knowing how to use it properly. Will be trying these tips, thank you.
I was not expecting to see this method! Great idea. I worked as a window cleaner for a summer way back when you and I were young gaffers. Never tried this on a inside car window before but I sure will now! Thanks for posting!
This worked perfectly! Recently had a scary drive home on a weird atmospheric night and could barley see - went to Canadian Tire and bought a silicone squeegee like this - and used dish soap it was so easy and great results!!! Thanks!
Fantastic!
I will give it a try. It looks easy and fast. Thank you. The inside windshield is always a pain to clean. Thanks again.
Thanks Chris. Cleaning the inside of the windscreen, as been the bain of my life. I'll do exactly what you recommend. thanks again.
Thanks for keeping it simple!
Ok I gotta tell you… my squeegee came today and I went right out and cleaned it! YOU ARE A GENIUS (if you came up with this)!!! This is the best cleaning tip I’ve ever found!!! YOU HIT A HOMER!! 💯
Thanks for that great feedback! You've made my day!!
I shared it on my FB page so I know you’ll get at least a few more views! This needs to go viral!
Very useful video. I ordered the squeegee and expect to get it in a couple of days. Thanks for the info.
This is so simple yet so brilliant.
The easiest directions ever! Affordable products too! Thanks 👍🏼
FANTASTIC! Used this method and oh my goodness was it fast, easy and streak free! Thank you.
Fantastic!
The GENIUS of simplicity --- THANKS !!!
Best way yet........looks easy and best clear results ever seen. Great video.
What a great tip!
I have the hardest time cleaning the inside of my windshield, but this looks to be super easy.
Glad it was helpful!
Great tip and so satisfying to watch! Thanks!
Thank you this works great. Ive been doing your method for my work truck but my personal truck i have tint on my windshield so i just use a tint safe cleaner that's the only difference and works great too
Definetly going to give this a try. Thanks a bunch!
Great hack. Simple, economical, convenient. Thank you, Chris. Liked and subscribed.
As a window cleaner for over 17 years This is the same method we use for cleaning windows in houses.
Do you cut it the same ?
How do you prevent the cleaning solution from running all over the woodwork and/or floors?
@@sassysandie2865 your wash wand or sponge does not need to be dripping with water, wring it out before using. If you have a lot of drips/water running down the window, your using too much water
@@JosieB2017 thank you!
When you encounter very dirty outside window do you wash all the dirt off with a rag first? I find too much dirt running down if I don’t either hose them off or wash first. How do you clean small window panes that a squeegee can’t fit into?
Wow! This worked out like a charm! This did exactly what I needed! Thanks!
Thrilled to try this ASAP. Dirty windows and windshields are my pet peeve. I have exhausted myself trying to clean them. TY
Wonderful!
I have a Toyota FT86 and it's a nightmare to clean the inside windshield so I bought the squeegee and the task became easy. Thanks for the tip!
Dodge Ram trucks are a nightmare!
I've been detailing our cars for years and this is a task I dread. Thank you for making this video. 👏👏👏👏
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! Great results. I did not even notice those squeegees... on my shopping list. 🤩
yep. been doing that for decades .
Good video . clear and concise .👍👍👍
Great Tip!
I want my windshield that clean all the time!
What a cute but very practical video! Great job and thanks!!!
Short, sweet, simple, and appreciated.
I tried everything every thing shown in this video, EXCEPT for using my foot... That "move" alone is worth watching the whole video. Cheers Chris!
Thanks loads Chris, it's been challenging getting that inside of the windshield clean (and streak free), gotta give this a go
GREAT idea! I've tried Windex and all kinds of things - nothing really worked. I'll definitely try this - and the tip about doing it in the shade is very helpful, it's one of those 'obvious' things you never think of :) And the nuance about the different types of squeegees is genius, never knew there were squeegees made like that. Thank you!
This works sooooo well! Thank you! I did get the small squeegee he uses. It was perfect.
Excellent!
Thanks! You literally saved my life! I'm a little bit OCD when it comes to my car windows and have tried every product and wasted a ton of money but ur way is the right way! 🙏👏🙌
Thanks for that and thanks for the super thanks!!!
Thanks, man! It's good to know you're out there.
I bought a squeegee for my windows in the spring/fall when the dew gets on the windows to quickly get the water off them. Never crossed my mind to use it on the inside of the vehicle. Going to clean them this weekend!
A+ on this, Chris. Just ordered 3 of 'em ! Big thanks!
Never thought of using Dawn. Thanks.
Thank you Chris. The squeegee method worked great. I used a small metal squeegee that I had on hand, using a mild solution of Dawn dish soap and a magic eraser. I did order the smaller squeegee that you recommended, because it would be more compact making it easier to use.
Excellent!
CAREFUL ! A Magic Eraser is indeed "magic" but it is essentially very close to Epoxy foam. It is probably much harder than the face protection film on the inside of your windshield !
I think windshields still have the protective layer on the inside as well as the layer laminated into the glass to keep the windshield together when it breaks.
I’ve used newspaper and glass cleaner for 44 years of driving, with great results. This squeegee method seems much easier. Thanks, Chris.
Hi from the UK 🇬🇧
I have struggled for years cleaning inside my windscreen, your method is the best I have ever seen.
Thank you 😊
