Car care is pretty simple thing to do but what gets me irritated is when I need to clean the windows exteriors and interior. What have you guys tried and got the best results (No Streaking)? and what did do use to wipe your windows with?

OK I tried that and its works pretty good but what do I use to wipe it Paper towel or a Microfiber cloth? because its seems streak free but when the Sun hits the glass, I notice some swirling...

Use newspaper to wipe your windows... if you don't believe me try it, but newspaper and Invisible Glass makes for some seriously clear glass. I SEEN IT!

Not really sure, just a family habit passed down to me that I can vouch for... not that anyone in my family takes care of their car but me, but hey... anyway yeah newspaper just seems to leave no streaks whatsoever. Try it.

Newspapers work, but a clean and dry microfibre cloth + Meguiar's Glass Cleaner is what I use.

Is that invisible glass ammonia free (for tinted windows)?

The guy at the tint shop uses baby shampoo and water.

If it's good enough for my son's rump, your wiper blades will be fine.

Wait, your not thinking of adding it to the washer fluid though right Jon? :rolleyes:

I went to my nearby WalMart and lo and behold, the shelf was completely empty of Invisible Glass. I ended up buying the foaming window cleaner next to it made by Gunk. It worked really well and is ammonia free and safe for tint. Also, many people have told me the same thing about newspaper. I haven't tried it yet. Would newspaper be safe on tint though?

Please just buy some lint free microfiber cloth. The reason people were using Newspaper to clean glass is the ink on the paper helps bring out a shine.. and the paper gets softer as it gets damp and doesn't leave much of lint behind. You can also use coffee filter for such job.. but nothing beats lint free microfiber cloth.

I worked on slot machines and pinball machines for years, we were always to use bunched up newspapers, ANY lint or streaks were unacceptable! I do use a microfiber cloth on my harley. Nothin will touch the micro fiber. Just gotta work it more!

Got me a can of Invisible Glass and a Microfiber glove and used it my my Corolla (open parking stall so it gets nasty) inside windshield. and the glove did the trick. Gonna get another glove for my Yaris. Our buyer at where I work said Invisible Glass will come out with a pump spray which should be a better deal. Thanks Again!:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Wouldn't newspapers make the glass dirtier? Anyone ever get dirt on your hands after looking through a newspaper? What happens to that stuff when you use the newspaper on your glass?

As I can see, news paper did an excellent job.
I guess the ink works like wax on any glass.
At least, use it inside of your car is great I think.
cuz, for outside, although the paper did well, but you will have to re-apply it very often.
