Do you do windows!? You'd better!!

The best thing you can do to protect windows is to keep the ballistic shields down when you're not using the sights. The shields will shield the windows from the sun and blown sand, both of which can do a number on the windows' coating, not to mention protect them from rocks thrown, up by tires and track.

When you're washing your Bradley, never spray high-pressure water on the windows. That causes the windows' coating to come off.

Never scrape ice off the windows. That removes the coating. Same thing happens if you use rags on the windows. If mud has dried on the windows, wet the dried mud first before cleaning it off. That way you won't scratch the coating. Get rid of ice by running the defogger until the ice melts.

1. Rinse them with clean ware from a squirt bottle until a loose dirt is gone.

2. Soak a lens tissue, NSN 6640-00-285-4694, in isopropyl alcohol, NSN 6810-00-753-4993, and clean the windows with light pressure. If you rub too hard, you could damage the coating. If you don't have alcohol, use lens cleaning solution, NSN 7930-00-664-6910.

3. Once the dirt's gone, rinse off the windows with clean water from the squirt bottle.

4. Dry the windows with a clean lens tissue by wiping in one direction. If you wipe back and forth, you smear the windows and can hurt the coating.
