Default Help for streak free glass

My back hatch glass seems to streak no matter what, when I first got it there was wax on there, I used blue dawn to take off. Then I used Invisiglass, still streaks in the right light. What can I do to have it perfect? Should it be waxed, I didn't want to do that since I used the Invisiglass for last minute at shows and then it streaked, should it either way?

Just a few quick questions.

Is it streaking on the inside, outside or both ?

Do you have factory tint or aftermarket ?

If you don't have aftermarket tint/film, I would try spraying it down with some isopropyl alcohol and distilled water. A 50/50 mix should do the trick. After that I would use Stoners invisible glass with a microfiber towel. This of course applies to the interior glass, for the exterior I would use the 50/50 mix and stoners as well.

Not sure if anyone has had the opportunity to use the Adams glass cleaner yet, but I went to their detailing day last Sunday. The glass stuff they have is simply amazing. Comes off very easily with zero streaks. On the way home on our cruise I forgot that I had a windshield it was so clear. If you get the chance to pick it up I highly recommend it.

Hell, I don't even use window cleaner. I just use Adam's quick detailer..it always leaves a streak-free shine. I use it on the glass in the house too!

Do not use 50/50 on your tint.

Stoners and Newspaper work for me.
Do the inside in a horizontal motion and the outside in a vertical motion. If you still see streaks when your done you will be able to easily see what side they're on.

Use a mico tech rag for the final finish.

Glass Cleaning Cloth:
This Microfiber 18” x 18” (Norwex) glass cleaning cloth has a super tight knit, lint free, cross-weave construction traps and collects water and is so effective (use damp) at cleaning glass that often a glass cleaner chemical (Stoner’s Invisible Glass) isn't even necessary. It features a very low-pile cut in a zigzag pattern, which literally attracts and removes off gassing, residue, smudges and oily fingerprints. Its efficient cleaning action is truly a time saver Norwex Glass Cleaning Towel - http//:www.detailersparadise.com
