Getting windows really clean
Back when I had my 68, I'd do this all the time, but somewhere along the way I stopped doing it. Today I was attempting to clean my windshield and after spraying on Windex and wiping with a paper towel five times in a row with no luck, I finally remembered my old habit - newspapers!
Yep, all it took was a few strokes of a crumpled-up newspaper and that smeary film that seemed to NEVER go away, was gone.
LONG LIVE THE NEWSPAPER CLEANING METHOD - IT WORKS!

I used Windex, but I've heard of using Vinegar as well. For some reason I can't explain, the stuff that smears on most of my windows is just pushed around when I use paper towels. Something about newspapers sops it up very easily - it's amazing!

I learned from an old detail guy to use newspaper and vinegar. That has worked well for years and still does. However, I tried Stoners, invisable glass and that works fine. Just my opinion.

A good thing about Stoners is that it's also window tint safe.

Newspapers are great.
I use them as well with Rain-X Glass Cleaner in the Blue/clear bottle. It's hard to find, but its the best glass cleaner that I have ever found.
Using that combination, you will not be able to tell that you actually have glass.......its that clear.
