Even after a thorough clean, many people struggle with haze, streaks, or towel marks, especially when sunlight hits the glass. Here’s how to avoid the most common pitfalls.

Mistake #1: Overusing Towels

• Waffle Weave Microfiber: Use the best quality towel for edges and final buffing only. The last thing that should touch your glass is the squeegee rubber, not a towel.

• Minimal Towel Use: Use towels sparingly to avoid static and lint.

Mistake #2: Using Flat Squeegees on Curved Glass

• Flat squeegees miss spots and leave water behind, especially on curved windshields.

• Upgrade to a curved squeegee like the KataCurv, which was awarded a utility patent in 2025 for its innovative design.

Mistake #3: Not Re-wetting Missed Spots

• If you see a streak or missed area, don’t just wipe with a towel—re-wet and squeegee again for a true “back to glass” finish.

Mistake #4: Ignoring Edges and Corners

• Use your towel to buff out the edges and the area where the dashboard meets the glass. Lay the towel over your hand and reach as far as possible for a thorough clean.

Final Pro Tip

Clean the inside of your windshield every 3-4 months, or as needed. This method removes everything—grime, haze, and film—leaving your glass cleaner, longer.

You’re now equipped with the pro secrets for spotless, streak-free windshields.
