Default Streaky Windows

I am trying to find a glass cleaner that works. I have tried almost everything at Auto Zone. Any advice.

I usually don't have a problem provided the glass is cool. usually just use windex and clean towel. Make sure you're not over doing the downey or something in your cloth. Water and vinegar works well I have heard. I'm sure other will chime in. Just saw a thread on this the other day

Griot's Garage part # 90247 is hard to beat for the inside corners of the w'shield.

I usually use a clean wet towel and a clean dry towel. If they are dirty, it will leave streaks.

I had problems also until I used RejeX on them. Now I also hit them with Meguiar's Ultimate Spray Detailer. They are flawless I tells you!!

The trick with the streaks is like others say, use a clean seperate dry towel...I have found the micro fiber towels work great for that.

Stoner's Invisible Glass and a clean microfiber cloth + some elbow grease = spotless window.

Ditto on the newspaper.
Have used newspaper with just about any cleaner for years.
No streaks.

The Glass Master Pro kit works great for me. It reaches the hardest areas of the winshield and has microfiber bonnets included. Beats trying to stand on your head to reach those hard places and still ending up streaky. Check www.glassmasterpro.com for info.
