Window cleaner

[Peter B]

Ok one of my pet peeves is the film that builds up on your windshield and makes driving at night a b****.

I have been told not to use windex as ammonia based cleaners are bad for auto glass.

So I went and got myself some auto glass cleaner ant the store, the kind that sprays on and turns to foam. I was told it would NOT streak.

LIES!

Now I have to drive with my defroster on all the time as even in the day the streaks are super noticeable. WTF!?

Any recommendations for a glass cleaner that is ACTUALLY streak free?

i am not sure about the whole no ammonia thing. The way I understand it is that you shouldnt use ammonia based cleaners on your windows IF you have tints. Otherwise it really won't hurt anything.

With that said, i don't use any cleaners on my windows. I take a microfiber and get it damp and wipe with that. then I take a clean dry microfiber and follow up with that. I never have streaks and my windows seem pretty clean to me.

Stoner's. Period.

Cheap way would be to use vinegar and water with wadded up newspapers.

Agreed, works the best, granted anything is liable to streak, I spray the Stoner's and then use a microfiber cloth to wipe it off .. Also, something I used to use a few years ago before it got expensive and hard to find was a cleaner called Wurth's. Worked AMAZING, German product, and now I can't find it!

I have some RainX wipes, they work OK but do require followup with towel or diaper to prevent streaks.

Not to sound like an ad, but their (Stoner's) spray-on Tire Shine is great, too. Been using it for years. Doesn't fling and it lasts for a pretty good while (sans a rainstorm).

Thanks for the good info. I will have to hitup autozone on the way home

Thanks! - 7.95 and then shipping .. I used to get it from a vinyl graphic designer for 5.00. Once I get back into serious showing ill buy it. Ill stick with stoner for now, cheaper and more readily available at walmart!

Invisible Glass and wadded-up newspaper. Follow that up with Rain-X. Ammonia is bad only for the tint.

Yeah I've only heard about the ammonia thingy with tinted windows... you should ask user Blue-sun... he's a detailer.

I get along with stoners pretty well, 'til they eat all my Funyuns.

 

[MikeLikesMazda]

stoners all the way. do a quick spray and wipe off with microfiber cloth. if it streaks, gret a dry part of the cloth and buff it out. i havent gotten any streaks yet
