If you’re like most people, you probably don’t think about cleaning the inside of your car’s speedometer glass very often. But over time, dust and grime can build up, making it difficult to see the reading. Here’s a quick and easy way to clean the inside of your speedometer glass and keep it looking clear.
Introduction: why you should clean your speedometer glass regularly
A speedometer is a device used to measure and indicate the speed of a vehicle. It is usually mounted on the dashboard, or on a steering column. A speedometer is essential in helping you gauge how fast you are going while driving. It also helps you estimate your arrival time at your destination.
Speedometers work by measuring the rotational speed of the vehicle’s wheels and translating that into miles per hour (mph). If the speedometer needle stays at 0 mph, it means that the vehicle is not moving.
Cleaning the inside of your speedometer glass regularly will keep the reading clear and visible. If dirt and grime build up on the glass, it can obscure the view of the needle, making it difficult to tell how fast you are going. In some cases, it may even cause the needle to appear stuck at 0 mph.
Cleaning your speedometer glass is a simple task that only takes a few minutes. All you need is a soft cloth and some glass cleaner. Once you have cleaned the glass, be sure to wipe down the surrounding area so that dirt and grime does not have a chance to build up again.
