TO WINDEX OR NOT TO WINDEX?

[andy19804]

ANy thoughts on what type of glass cleaner or techniques to use?

[eriktherod]

Stoner's Invisible Glass. It's tint-safe, has no blue dyes or streaking agents, and has a rain repellent. You can pick it up at Walmart for like $6-7.

Thanks for the input. Went to autogeek and learned about non-ammonia cleaners. looks like the way to go.

Whats wrong with Windex bro? U hater?

[86_ZN6]

any glass cleaner and newspaper!

[LivingLegend]

I agree Newspaper works like a charm!

Stoner's, have two towels ready. One for the initial wipe down and the other for follow up to rid of any potential streaking.

The type of cleaner is less important than the technique. For non smokers, even clean water by itself will usually do the trick. As Mike noted above, two towels is the key to streakless windows. As soon as the first towel is even damp, switch to the second towel for buffing. A dry buffing towel is the key to streakless windows. Ammonia based cleaners can affect window tint, so alcohol based cleaners are a safer bet. Personally, i use two waffle weave towels as the weave pattern helps "scrub" the glass while the MF picks up a ton of cleaner easily.

I absolutely love Stoner's Invisible Glass.

Is it clear? If it has dyes, I wouldn't, but that's just me. I've been very happy with Stoner's Invisible Glass (without rain repellent).

its what i have around the house,
time to invest in some stoners glass cleaner! if i already use rain-x, should i bother getting the rain repellent version?

[gosaints420]

A little soap and water in a spray bottle works great.

[jarviz]

I think I'll pick up a bottle of stoners later and give it a try.

I assume for the inside I can clean it any time, and it won't hurt the tint right?

As for the outside, when do you use it during a car wash... or do you just use car wash soap for the windows at that time?

Homebrew...1 cup distilled water, 1 cup rubbing alcohol, 1 tablespoon of white vinegar.

I only like repellent on the windshield. Other glass surfaces aren't always as well wind-swept and the repellent can make things worse. So to be on the sae side, I use Rain-X on the windshield and regular Invisible Glass.

As long as it is ammonia free you are cool. I use 20/20 glass cleaner.

[RRnold]

As long as it's not tinted you should be ok but I use Toyota foam.

Wouldn't the use of newspaper just leave black ink residue all over the place?

You follow it with a clean cloth or paper towel. The point of the newspaper is that the paper and ink act like a very fine abrasive that gets the glass exceptionally clean.

Yup!! Been using newspaper for years

An alternative is to buy a pad of newsprint paper from an art materials store. its the same stock, but you don't get the ink on your hands.
