i washed my car. then my windows. for all you show people. how do you clean your windows without getting that anoying smuge that you only see at an sertain angle and expecaily at night. could it be the windex or the paper towel?? oh and those new (armer al) whipes work quite well under the hood. nice and clean

sounds weird but Ive been told to use newspaper to dry off the windows and it works for me.

newspaper does work like a charm, but you can smudge that as well. and don't use the colored section. make sure that it is black and white. don't overload the windows with the stuff as well, b/c that makes it more likely to streak. trust me. i work at a golf course washing and parking cars... also, i really like invisible glass made by stoner.

Anyone who has gotten into detailing knows to use the "Two Towel Method". One towel is a "wet" towel for applying the window cleaner and washing the window. The other towel is the "dry" towel to eliminate streaks.

all these methods seem to work fine but i prefer the newspaper/windex thing. for some reason my LA times seem to suck up water more efficiently than normal paper towels. besides, i have the cheap paper towels that leave grains behind on my windows.

Just use to paper towels....and dont be stingy with em...us one as the wet one.....and it will clean and absorb most of the windex...etc..or what ever blend you use, then, use a new section of paper towel to pick up the remaining windex.

I tell you I really prefer the white foam window cleaner that they
use at picture frame shops for the glass of the frames.

It is called Sprayway Glass Cleaner and it is streak free and it and paper towels are all I need to do my windows.

You will have to look around for Sprayway Glass Cleaner (it is in a white and blue aerosol can), but when you find someone who carries it you will be happy with the stuff, it works!

That is what I use. Can only get it from my local glass repair shop for ~ $4.00 per can. I use it for all my glass cleaning, and it works wonders. Here's the info from the can:

We used the newspaper trick in the Corps because it doesn't leave lint. The 2 towel trick really works for totally streak-free glass (2nd towel "buffs" the glass). I've read detail shops use polish, and I've had good success with it. It's too time consuming for me to do all the time, though, and you have to make sure you get it all off. 2 towels and CRL Sprayway glass cleaner is what I use on a normal basis. Also, make sure your glass is cool and in the shade or you can create a lot of streaks. I detail clean my glass at night when streaks, haze, etc.. are very visible from different angles/lighting. Hope this helps.
