Cleaning between the windscreen and a pillar

Post by sean_87 »

Anyone got any tips for cleaning between the windscreen and the a pillar? There is a good amount of crap built up there but the gap is too small to squeeze a cloth or microfibre in the and apply enough pressure to get it clean.

There's a nozzle on steam cleaner (household) used for tiles that is a precise nozzle- that'll do it. I assume you mean the grime build up that kind of looks like it's behind the windscreen.

I don't have a steam cleaner, but was able to slide a cotton bud between the windscreen and the pillar. I soaked the buds in some warm water and car shampoo and slid it in from the top of the windscreen and worked my way down the the bottom. The cotton bud came out filthy.

The car is looking much better now.

I used a swissvax detail brush this morning - flicked all the vegetation all over my screen !
