Default Best Glass Cleaner On The Market!!!

I hate cleaning the windows on my car. I've used EVERTHING!! Here is the answer: ORECK GLASS AND WINDOW CLEANER. Yep, same company that makes the vacuum cleaner. Most cities have a local sales store, but if not go to their web site. No streaks, no haze and takes very little effort!! Trust me on this.

I've found that the most EFFECTIVE windshield cleaning product, by far, is the imported German P21S stuff:

I have an Oreck sweeper and it's pretty good. I'll try the stuff but I use a cheapo aerosol cleaner from Autozone and it's great and only $1.99.

Talking no streaks at all

as many i have tried many glass cleaners. Recently a friend of mine shared Powglass and it's a bomb. i love the fact that it doesn't leave streaks even on the sun and it is natural.

Best Way To Clean Windows:

1) Make your own
2) Mix in a quality spray bottle 1 part denatured alcohol (hardware store in paint section) to 2 parts distilled water.
3) White, 100% terry cloth towels, DEDICATED for windows ONLY (Target sells good towels under the Varoooom brand)
4) Never wash your window towels (or any of your car detailing towels) with fabric softener
5) Windows cool and car in shade or garage
6) Spray towel with window cleaner
7) Wash glass, one window at a time, split large windows into 2 sections
8) Buff dry with a 2nd dry towel

Removes dirt, grease, dead bugs, and wins Concours! Very inexpensive. Smells fresh.

I know the Porsche shop parts department has a rack with a bunch of Griots or something like that on it. Including glass cleaners.

I have seen guys getting it regularly. While I am waiting on parts.

I have not bought or used it but it seems popular.

windex and newspaper. The ink in the paper reacts with the windex to give you a streak free finish. When I left school and worked with a detailer we used it back then.

I've always heard it's that newspaper is acidic, complements the vinegar in many cleaners.
