A CAR cleaning expert claims that drivers have been washing their windscreens all wrong.
With the spiralling cost of living crisis, many Brits will be choosing to do the job themselves rather than spend money on a professional car washing service.

Handily, TikTok user @detailbrosfl has revealed the best method to clean your windscreen – and it won’t cost you too much money.
The expert said: “If your front windshield is dirty, Im going to show you an easy way to give it that crispy streak-free finish.
“Use two different kinds of towels, a bucket of water and your favourite window cleaner.
“I always use surgical huck towels, and they are really cheap. This is the first step. I would use a surgical huck towel to remove most of the dirt.
“The windows, especially the front windshield, tend to build up like a haze after a while if you don’t clean them.
“This right here is called a waffle weave towel. Once I get all of the bulk off, I will go ahead and polish and finish the windows.
“Squeeze it enough where it’s damp, but it’s not dripping all over the dash. You want to try to start on that front side and sit in the passenger seat.”
The expert also recommends cleaning your car windows in a shady area.
“I’m just really mopping all the dirt off with just a plain rag. Now grab your second surgical huck towel and go ahead and start mopping this up.
“So now I got the front windshield mopped with just water, and this is where I go with my waffle weave towel.
“I like to have two of these wet and another completely dry. Then I grab my favourite window cleaner and mist it on the rag really well.
“I’m going to have this one ready in my hand. I’m going to go ahead and do the other side.”
The poster said the most important thing is using clean towels to leave your windscreen spotless.
He continued: “This method it’s good enough because you can clean all the windows inside, like the rearview mirror and all of that, with just a wet towel and a couple of dry towels.”
The video has gone viral on social media with thousands of views and has more than 43,900 likes on TikTok, but some users remain unconvinced.
One said: “Ignore him, bro. He’s overcomplicating it too. Use an old newspaper and Windex on the inside and outside.”
Another said: “How is this an easy way? It has 77 steps.”
This comes after an expert car cleaner said he makes more than £400 a day polishing up cars for a living.
