I spray them with water in a spray bottle, then spray on some windex. Start and run the vette for about 10 minutes, with the hood up. Shut it off and let sit for about 20 minutes.. Should look like new. Depending on condition, may have to wipe them down or spray alittle water on them again and then wipe off..
