It's a never-ending battle to keep your car's glass clean. Spring and summer see it coated in pollen, tree sap and bird poo while autumn and winter will see overspray, mud, foliage and even snow slathered on your glass.
And while a decent set of wiper blades and some good screenwash will go the distance for your windscreen, some areas will never have anything to clean them aside from rain. This is why glass cleaners are such a clever way of ensuring you have maximum visibility to keep you safe and your car looking excellent.
