Expert Notes

Crystal has been in the Autobrite Direct range since 2005 and is now listed by the maker as Crystal Superior Glass Cleaner. It blends solvents and detergents in a high flash-off formula that is wiped on and buffed straight away, lifting fingerprints, grease, smoke, vape fog, insects and bird lime. Autobrite rates it safe for all glass, mirrors and window tints, and usable on Perspex and infotainment screens. The safety data sheet lists pH 7 and classes it as flammable, so use it away from heat. Choose 500ml for the car or 5L for refilling. Pair it with two dedicated glass towels, a glass polish for heavy contamination and a glass sealant.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Windscreens inside and out
  • Side and rear windows
  • Door and interior mirrors
  • Tinted windows
  • Perspex surfaces
  • Infotainment screens
  • Household mirrors
  • Glass stair panels

Caution: Crystal is flammable and can irritate eyes and skin. Keep it away from heat and flames, use it with ventilation and avoid overspray on plastics.

How To Use

Application

  1. Make sure the glass is dry before you start.
  2. Mist 3 to 5 fine sprays of Crystal onto a glass towel, or directly onto the glass.
  3. Keep overspray off plastics and trim when spraying the glass directly.
  4. Wipe the cleaner across the glass with the first towel.
  5. Buff the glass straight away with a second, dry glass towel.
  6. Check the glass against the light and apply a second time to any streaks that remain.

Aftercare

  1. Follow with a glass sealant if you want rain to clear from the screen more easily.
  2. Wash glass towels apart from other towels and without fabric softener.
  3. Close the trigger and store the bottle upright, away from heat and ignition sources.
  4. Wash your hands after use and rinse eyes with water if splashed.
  5. Keep the bottle out of reach of children.

Top Tip: Spray the towel rather than the glass when working inside the car to keep overspray off the dashboard.

HQ Suggests Tips & Insights

  1. Clean the inside of the screen after the dashboard, not before.
  2. Wipe inside glass one way and outside the other to trace streaks.
  3. Keep a separate towel just for interior glass.
  4. Wipe the wiper blades with a damp cloth while cleaning the screen.
  5. Change to a fresh towel face once the towel feels damp.
  6. Rinse heavy bird lime off with water before wiping the glass.
  7. Treat door mirror glass gently so cleaner does not run into the housing.
  8. Available with UK-wide delivery from The Drivers HQ.

Glass Care, Wash and Paint Correction

Crystal Glass Cleaner has been part of the Autobrite Direct range since 2005 and, according to the brand, was one of the first products it developed. Its high flash-off formula is designed to be sprayed, wiped and buffed, and the brand describes it as safe for all glass, mirrors and window tints. For heavier contamination, Clear View Glass Polish removes bug splatter, grease, fallout and stubborn stains from glass, and contains no silicones or waxes.

On the wash side, Autobrite Direct describes Citrus Wash as a powerful yet gentle pre-wash and all-purpose cleaner infused with citrus oil, diluted to suit anything from light cleaning to degreasing. BriteGel is a sticky, non-acidic wheel cleaning gel that clings to the wheel and tyre with less run-off, and Ceramic Shield Magiseal is a water-based, SiO2 infused coating that can be applied through a foam lance or with a trigger sprayer.

For paint correction, the Correct It range pairs compounds and polishes with dedicated pads. The brand describes Enrich as a medium machine polishing compound that removes car wash scratches, swirl marks and light oxidation, and as a one-step cut and finish compound for most paint finishes.
