Streaky windshields can be caused by several factors. In Pakistan, hard water is often a common culprit, leaving mineral deposits that create streaks. Low-quality cleaning products, improper wiping techniques, o r using old, worn-out cloths may also contribute. The best practices for a streak-free windshield are:

Use distilled water for cleaning to avoid mineral buildup.
Use microfiber cloths designed for glass cleaning to prevent residue.
Use proper cleaning solutions like automotive-specific glass cleaners o r a mixture of vinegar and water.
Wipe in circular motions to avoid streaks.
