i need your help to clean the inside of my windscreen. im buying some microfibre cloths tonight, so share what you guys use to clean please. my windscreen gets quite foggy too, any idea what i could use to stop this as im not too fond of air conditioning
We have a thread on this in the MK2 section, there is no real definitive answer but here is there thread - https://forums.seatcupra.net/index....-windscreen-inside.448781/page-2#post-4826001

Maybe clean it with a glass cleaner like @bruceR mentions above then maybe ceramic coat it? also check that your door seals are in good order and maybe use a de-humidifier bag and open windows for a few seconds before turning off the car to keep the air temp the same as outside...

As some of you will remember the great fire of 2019 which really :censored: me off. So, keep in mind I snowfoamed the car (autofinesse), washed with Megs NXT. Dried with microfiber towel. Then used gyeon glass cleaner. And buffed off. It's hard to photo glass. So importantly then, so you can all see what the ash has done, I sprayed water liberally over the freshly cleaned glass:

This is what's been annoying me for about a fortnight now because it's highly visible all the time from the inside. So I broke out a bottle of Autoglym glass polish I had laying around. Worked it in. Of course it produced it's usual load of white bits, so I used a damp microfiber to remove. After a few attempts (remember spray water on glass for photo):

Then last attempt with gyeon glass cleaner and buff off:

Rainex has been on the market for years, I personally apply a layer of chemical guys jet seal, sealant to the windows when I am applying it the paint work and this aids the water dispersal no end.

What’s the best rain repellent for windscreens that anyone has used? I’m looking for something to help make viewing easier and help shed rain.
I find that some window stuff makes my wipers sqeak which annoys me so I don't use any now... But you could maybe use some aqua coat which I've tried yet...
