Using this quick, easy-to-make auto glass cleaner is much more effective than regular, household glass cleaner because it will leave your windshield clean and streak free. Spray your car windows as well and after a quick dry, have the entire car sparkling. However, if you have a crack or anything more than a smudge, contact Frank’s Auto Glass in Chicago. We can repair or replace your windshield or windows making your car look as good as new.

The Recipe

The ingredients for your homemade auto glass cleaner include one cup of distilled water, two tablespoons of distilled white vinegar, one cup of isopropyl alcohol and a plastic spray bottle of your choosing. For the sake of convenience, a spray bottle can be kept in your car at all times and if you need to spray down your windshield after going to the grocery or leaving it parked in a garage overnight, it is a fast, easy fix. Also, use a microfiber cloth, what many people to use to clean the frames of their eye or sunglasses, to wipe down your windows because they will leave your car streak free and remove dirt from rainwater or bugs effectively.

First, add the water to the spray bottle followed by the isopropyl alcohol and then distilled white vinegar. Shake the bottle to mix the ingredients well and you are ready to clean your auto glass, especially in the Chicago weather with dirty rain and snow, you will always be prepared. There are many other tips and tricks for keeping your car in mint condition.

Couldn't ask for a better establishment! I been driving around with a cracked windshield for longer than I should have. Finally had am off day and dropped them off my car. I was running late to pick up the car and they were very accommodating. Some places would make you wait until next day. Reasonable straightforward prices. They have gained a customer for life.

Frank’s was great. They didn’t have my windshield in stock and had to order one, but they were ready for me the next day. The work was completed very quickly, and the staff were all friendly. The price was fair. Would go back again if necessary!

I am extremely happy with the service I received from Frank's Auto Glass Repair. The replacement took a few hours because of the business' excellent service that it is first come first served. I have nothing but good things to say about this business. I pray I do not need another one anytime soon but I will definitely refer family and friends for premier services!
