I get the same results using a barely damp clean microfiber cloth followed by a dry microfiber - works great. If the film is really bad, I give the glass an initial shot of window cleaner to remove the gunk.

You can toss them in the washing machine......Be aware, if you put them in with clothes they will attract lint to them.

You can also hand wash them with a little bleach and laundry soap...

See ya,

Got mine a couple of weeks ago and used it the other day. Pretty amazing little cloth. It does have to be completely wrung out though. Inside of my windows have never looked so good with such little effort! Thanks Jim!

..wuz going to buy some but there's somewhat of a disparity on the "free shipping". I think they're changing their web site add now. Not a $$ biggie, just rubbed me the wrong way.

Yeah, we had to change it to add shipping as we are now shipping priority mail and UPS. Originally we thought we could get away with sending regular parcel post but too many got lost in the mail or the envelope arrive torn with some cloths missing.

Sorry, but we added package deals to compensate for shipping costs.

Thanks,

Jim

Default Wow, it really cleans!

Tried it on the inside of Z's front windshield and the glass disappeared (its still there but really clean on the inside)

Then tried it on the hatch window inside. It smeared at first as it hadn't been cleaned since I got the car six months ago. So tried a couple more times and voila, the hatch window cleaned up too.

Nice to be able to see out again.

Thanks.

Just ordered mine Jim - FYI, it would only let me use UPS and not Priority mail. No biggie, just making you aware. Thanks, Ron

I've always waxed the inside of the windows and don't have any issues. Actually, I wax the outsides as well. Anyone else?

The son's of bi__ch's really work. Don't ask my how a windshield comes streak-less when after you wipe it their is a film of water, but I took my car out today in the sunlight after doing it last night. You'll never use windex, vinegar or Invisible glass again!

Bought ($55 dollars worth).... Used them..... NOT a fan. I have tried a dozen times now and these things are not worth the money. They DO streak; and don't tell me they are too wet; I tried just "dusting" them with water and they streak; I tried soaking them, then let dry almost completely - they streak. They don't streak any worse than anything else I have ever used; but they aren't the "miracle cloth" they are made out to be.

So this product gets a thumbs down from me.

Ok, wont say they are too wet..Then, something else must be wrong because if you look at the feedback across the forum you will see that most everyone is posting they work exactly as advertised. Heck, I did not believe it either when I was told about them. Gave them a try, and was convinced otherwise very quickly.

No chance you have Rain-X on you Windows?

Nope, no rainX or other liquids (except Adams Window cleaner before I tried the Miracle CLoth) have ever been put on. Jim, I really have tried several different ways to use them, and guess I'm just to dumb to use em..... I sold the ones I hadn't opened, so you don't even have to give my money back. I still have several that I used, and maybe I will run across a fellow Corvetter here in So Cal that is better using them, and I will get him to teach me.
