Question: does'nt the cloth eventually load up with vinyl sweat and debris and need to be washed? Are they just as good after being washed in a machine?

I'd suggest just rinsing them with light soap and water, not machine washing. The less chemicals you use on them, the longer they'll last. The set I'm using around the house have lasted me for 2 years already with no sign of losing effectiveness.

I've used liquid glass for years and am very pleased with the results. I spray it on a paper towel and wipe the inside of the glass without getting anything on the dash. Don't think I'll be changing anytime soon.

If you are like me, washing the windows inside your Vette (or any other car for that matter) is the biggest pain in the butt of the whole cleaning process. There is always that damn film that builds up on the inside of the windows that you do not notice until 12am at night when you are driving home from a party and the oncoming car headlight about blind you because of the film build up on the windows. You tell yourself at that late hour, "damn, I really need to clean the windows". You go home go to bed, wake up the next morning and forget all about the promise you made to yourself about the window cleaning (until the next night drive).

Anyway, I had a customer of mine purchase an exhaust system and he told me about this new Myra Fiber cloth that makes cleaning windows a breeze. Simply slightly dampen it, and wipe....streak free, crystal clear window with no sprays or streaks. Oh, and it lasts forever and is washable. Assuming it was probably a gimmick, I figured I would give it a try....

All I can say is WOW...this thing REALLY does works!!! It wipes your windows perfectly clean. Heck it even wiped off the window sticker glue (my new 09 Z06 that I am so proud of )without any effort.

Guy's, this is not a Gimmick...You are missing the boat if you do not use this handy little towel to clean your windows. It works as advertised, if not better. No more glass cleaner over spray on my dash, ever!!!

I promise you, this will be the best $6 bucks you EVER spent.

They are so good, I immediately purchased a 100 of them, and have then ready to ship out. Order below

The Ultimate Cloth

Order above

Trust me on this one........Just order the darn thing !!!! you will want to personally call and thank me after using it!

a lot of glass cleaners work very well until you look at the glass on a bright shiny day. Then you see the streaks

You're right and that is what makes this product so amazing, in my opinion.

The cloths are very good but I did have to buff the glass. Overall the cloth is easier to use. House window & mirrors also.

Just bought 3 and will see how they do. Glass is the worst part of cleaning the cars.
