Title: What glass cleaner do you use?
Post by: sunwolf on April 28, 2015, 06:46:01 PM
For the exterior I use RainX 2 in 1 and it does a good job. For the interior I can't find anything worth crap. I tried 70% rubbing alcohol (I have heard 99% works great but cant find it) and windex. Both Windex and 70% leave streaks and the windex makes it look worse than when I started. Any suggestions?

Stoner's Invisible Glass works pretty well for me for inside window cleaning.  It took off a mess of offgassed stuff from the windshield too!  Didn't use their specialized tool, but hear it's handy to have.

Can't remember the concentration and exact type but vinegar and water and black and white newspaper page :-)      invisible glass is decent except I think its not tint safe

It is tint safe, I have been using it for years. Stoner's all the way.

Stoners as well (the aerosol can, not the windex bottle version)

I've used the Stoner's Invisible Glass as well as some stuff made in Germany that I got on a BOGO from Autogeek.  Both work well.

As for the 99% alcohol, you probably need to look for Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) to get the 90%+.  Rubbing alcohol will always be right around 70% since it's saturated with water.  That water saturation is probably also why it leaves streaks.

Never use it... Polish with Ceraglass once a year and coat with FlyBy30 every 3 months... Drying the car cleans the glass outside and I just wipe the inside with IPA once a month on an MF towel.  Gonna try FlyBy Forte next time... Lasts 2 years and prevents chips as a semipermanent glass coating.

I bought 3M 08888 Glass Cleaner which is safe for tinted windows. I only used it on the inside so far, worked good without leaving streaks. I used a waffle weave microfiber towel with it.

Use a wet shammy from drying the car then a microfiber guranteed no streaks on newer vehicles as long as there isn't something else on there for that i use lots of Windex for first wash then the trick

Stoner's Invisible Glass for me. It works better than anything I have found and follow that with Rain X. I apply the Rain X and rub it well onto the windshield/windows until it hazes.  Follow that with clean paper towels and remove most of the haze.  Then another clean paper towel and lightly do a final polish.

0000 steel wool and pretty much any glass cleaner with newspaper.

Stoners and Micro fibers inside.

Stoners and quad zero wool for prep and wax to finish.

The stuff in a spray can is just something different better than a spray bottle from my experience.

Been using sprayway glass cleaner for years. It's the only thing I've ever used even back to being a kid and handing it to my father.

This is what I have been using as well... absolutely the BEST glass cleaner... and boy was I pissed when I went to go use it and it was empty... my wife apparently thinks this glass cleaner is awesome as well... she used it for the house and then got mad at me for not telling her about how good it is.. I have been using it for 17 years... lol

As a side note... this work really well when cleaning with newspaper as well...

To funny my wife legit uses it for EVERYTHING in the house. I run an autoparts store so I have to bring it home by the case. And I also agree 100% newspaper is the absolute best thing to use to clean your windows streak free.
