Auto glass cleaner

[TimmH]

I also keep a clean microfiber towel in the console for those early mornings when I see some streaking starting again, I can use the dry towel to buff the glass clean again.

Exterior:
Safelite glass cleaner. (wish I knew who makes it for them) Was free when I had a windshield fixed several years ago.

It is VERY strong stuff, and it is a spray foam, so it does not run.

One spray can lasts a LONG time.

Interior:
Water & microfiber

why would you assume we only clean one window of a vehicle.

I got one-way glass so I'd only have to clean one side.

That’s a good idea.

Hi all,

Found this works rather well:

I used to detail cars for photo shoots and this was the only thing we found to be streakless and easy to use. We also had a ready supply of clean cloth diapers to use with it. Then again, that was before the micro fiber craze.

I guess that's cooler than my "gangster windows"

What’s the best glass cleaner? I always end up with streaks when the sun is just right at dawn and dusk. Do I need a special towel? It drives me crazy!

A clean, soap free white cloth with a hot of water as you can stand to put your hand in... then dry with a clean, soap free white cloth... best kept secret

I need to get all the salt of my Jeep this week so I’ll be able to try these out. I’ll give this one a go first. It would be easy and you don’t have to buy stuff.

Don't worry, the glass will crack and you'll get a new polished piece every few months... No need to clean it.

For the glass? Vinegar and water. Nothing better. Gallon of water and a cup of plain white vinegar, in a spray bottle. Wifey uses it on all the house windows and does a fantastic job on car windows.

Im on my 2nd windshield. First one cracked in 6 months. Second one cracked 3 months later. I’ve had no cracks in the next 2 years. I figure as soon as I replace the second one it will crack again so I’m leaving it.

more often than not, the cloth you use is more important than the cleaner. Get good quality microfiber cloths and you’ll be happy

Sprayaway. I work for Safelite. Safelite sells it. I think it's 6.99 a can in our region. Sorry don't have access to verify right now.

Once your exterior glass is clean, use ceramic detail spray on it. On the inside I use a clean, wrung out, damp micro fiber then follow right behind it with a clean dry one.

When my winshield is really dirty I wet a scrubber squeegee with hot water and a drop or two of Dawn. I scrub the bugs and grime off, follow with the squeegee, then a wrung out damp micro fiber, then reapply ceramic detail spray. The bugs usually come off pretty easy when I use the ceramic detail spray regularly.
