Cleaning glass?

Hey everyone, I was wondering the best way to clean up car glass.

I'm not sure if a Windex type cleaner is the best since it has alot of ammonia...

Is rubbing alcohol a good choice? I would just put it in a spray bottle and mist it real nice, then use a rag to wipe it off. Afterwords I'm going to wipe it down with RainX, but I need to know what is a good cleaner first.

If anyone knows a good way to do this let me know!

Re: Cleaning glass?

i've just always used windex and newspaper. it works for me inside and out.

if you have tinted windows, don't use harsh cleaners (or find ones that can be used with titned windows)--it will damage the tint. just a small dab of dish soap in a bottle of water will work well.

the newpaper trick won't leave streaks that you will see on the inside on a cold evening when the windows fog up.

Re: Cleaning glass?

Doesn't the newspaper trick leave behind some of the black ink? I would think that it would but I have never tried it

I've never experienced that and I've been using newspapers for that for a long time. I use the Stoners and newspaper.

Re: Cleaning glass?

Newspaper and invisible glass is awsome, something else that works awsome on exterior glass and mirrors is chrome polish and a micropolish cloth i think it might be better than invisible glass then again i dont know.

Don't ever look at cars as just imports or domestics. Just because a car is made in a certain country doesn't mean that it is anything like another car from that country. An example of this is Mitsubishi reliability, just because they are Japanese doesn't mean that they are as reliable as a Honda or Toyota.

Re: Cleaning glass?

I successfully use 20/20 (Eagle One ?!) with paper towels and apply RainX afterwards. Nothing so far worked better for me and I got lots of glass..lol

Re: Cleaning glass?

Being in the detail business, I found that anything works great as long as you use a high quality MF towel. I use water in a spray bottle and it gets that glass as spotless as Stoners

Re: Cleaning glass?

I was just reading in the Autopia e-book thing that you can use your old clay bar on windows and that should work pretty well. It makes sence to me and I'll be giving it a go later this spring.

Re: Cleaning glass?

Yep. A lot of times I just use a little water and a clean microfiber towel. Now if I have a lot of bugs on the windshield, I use 0000 steelwool.
