Thanks to all who suggested newspaper. Had never heard that before and tried it today.

Put Maguires glass cleaner on with a pad and then polished off with newspaper.

The newspaper was amazing - no streaks, easy as, and no cloth to wash afterwards.

:thanks:

I never get tired of promoting their terrific products...but again I recommend Autoglym Fast Glass with a soft microfibre cloth. Here is a link to see for yourself.

Logic would suggest that would be the case. It turns out to be the best item to clean glass. I collect pinball machines and all serious collectors I have met over the years also use newspaper on their pins and cars, it is by FAR the best, hands down.

I use Stoners with the triangle pad, works good and reaches into the tight spots around the rear light in the back windshield.

I also keep isopropyl alcohol in an old salad dressing (sans dressing) pump type aerosol sprayer for really bad/ greasy spots/ bugs/tar/poop/blood. Sprays a fine mist and evaporates with zero residue.

Also don't use fabric softener on your detail rags.

:word:For when those damn pedestrians think they have the right away.

As for the topic at hand, I picked up a 6-pack of EagleOne. Stuff's worked pretty well so far. No complaints... and it smells soooooooo goood.

sorta-nub question - If my windows aren't tinted, it'd be okay to use rain repellant Stoners on the inside right?

I've never used any products for cleaning my windows. After drying my car from a wash, I just use that slightly moist MF towel and give the windows a quick wipe. No streaks or residue.

FR-S Matt 12-20-2013 08:58 AM

Rain-X spray and microfiber towel. Works fine.

I guess so, but it's kinda pointless unless your car has its own weather system inside.
