Cleaning car windows--techniques?
 

No matter how I try I cannot get the insides of my car windows streak-free. What do you guys use and how? This is both for my fun cars and my DDs.

Vinegar-based cleaner (windex makes one) and newspaper or microfiber towels. Turn the towel frequently, damp cloth leaves streaks.

Just did this recently...I soaked a paper towel with Naphtha and wiped, let dry...followed by a paper towel soaked with alcohol, let dry...then used a generic window cleaner spray with paper towel.
Worked.

sprayaway and newspapers on windshields+ exterior, interior tint just a damp terrycloth towel.

Invisible Glass aerosol. Use a microfiber, last wipe with the dry side.

The combo from Amazon: I'll have to try this...

The newspaper thing works great... but who has newspaper anymore?

A hot tip from Amazon:

"dont use paper towels to clean widnows they put lotion in them ,that's why they come out streaked, use lint free cotton towel"

I have a (very) old can of "glass wax" in my garage... do they still make that stuff?

Thanks all! I'm going to check my LAPS and see if they have these two items.

Good old Gold Seal Glass Wax...still have two cans...problem is that it leaves a powder that needs to be cleaned-up.

"I think I may have tracked down a replacement for the product!

After doing a little digging, I discovered that after the company that made the original Gold Seal brand Glass Wax stopped producing it, they sold the formula to a company called TR Industries that is producing it under the name "No Streek" Glass Cleaner. The stuff is being sold in TrueValue and Ace hardware stores and comes in a white plastic bottle with a blue label. The polish is nolonger pink, but is now being formulated in a yellow color."

Also on Amazon...

I'll bet it's the lotion in the paper towels that's streaking my glass.

I worked in a hardware store in the '80s and we sold Glass Wax. Thanks for the memory!

Same here...must be.
Thanks for the thread...I learned something.

Side note: I grew up in North Dakota and the inventer of GW lived in Bismarck, ND and built a huge mansion on the highest hill in town. I guess he eventually sold the formula.

Looks like a VW window. Great idea.

Cool Hand Luke...who cares if the window streaks? :)

Can't find it on Amazon... guess it has gone the way of the Dodo :(
