When i use a product to clean my windows and mirrors out and inside my car, what's the best thing to wipe it off with? brown paper towel? i used those blue shop towels and they leave lint. can anyone give me any tips? i'm new, and thank you

 

newspapers!

 

WRD! Their is nothing better.

 

try a quality Microfiber towel, what window cleaner you using?

 

the funny thing is i've had better luck using "shitty" MF towels, meaning, not high-end, to clean my windows vs. the high end boutique towels. at this time, despite pristine treatment, special care when it comes to washing sequences, whatever...most of my Cobra towels lint on glass. yeah, they won't scratch paint, but they lint.

i use advance autoparts multipurpose MF towels on glass. alot easier than newspaper and more effective at buffing fine cleaner residue. no linting, perfect results.

 

I thought I was the only person in the world who used newspapers. good stuff

 

go to yout local auto zonew and buy roll of tho's blue shop towels a couple of those go a long way I find from time to time.

 

I agree, my more expensive plush towels leave too much lint but the cheaper MF towels seem to work best.

 

I use old bar towels AKA bar mops... no lint left on those things when I'm done with them!

Also, if you want your glass to look like new, use Rain-X inside and out - kinda acts like glass polish/wax...

 

rain x will do nothing for polishing, it is merely a glass sealant.

And why do people still use newspaper? its almost 2009.....

 

I just use a clean costco MF towel. That works best for me, I won't use newspaper because I don't want to scratch the tint. I do find that the $1.99 aerosol spray window cleaner works best for me. (ammonia free)

 

i have never tried the newspaper trick...hmmm. im tired of seeing streaks and wipe marks on the back window..it gets on my nerves...any tips? thanks.

 

One thing I have noticed if you use too much cleaner, it will leave streaks and marks. Use less and repeat if you must.

 

My wife owns an autoglass shop and the ONLY cleaner she uses is Sprayaway aerosol

 

and where can you buy this product?

 

yeah, sprayway...

AG sells it. i've never used it but most stuff AG sells is good.

costco or an autoglass shop should have it as well 3,50-4.00 a can or if you come to her shop its a freebie with a glass install

 

oem honda glass cleaner from the dealership owns all

just throwing that out there

 

and do they charge you up the *** in taxes at the dealership like everything else lol

 

Im sure you have tried a vast majority of the window cleaners out there to make that claim, right?

 

ive found clean the wondows, then re-wipe them down with a dry side.... it, to me get any residue off!

 

i've used stoner,sprayway, and windex no streak

honda has worked the best for me

i even steam cleaned my windows once and that did a great job but lots of wiping and time consuming

i get employee discount and sales tax i dont know what other taxes you get

 

Maybe I used the wrong word...

I bought a Caddy Coupe De Ville once - off a high-end used car lot in Scottsdale. LoL! Most of the cars were $60K-$100K...

Anyway, it had just been used for a trade-in... hood was still warm!

When I came back the next day, after it had been prepped, I couldn't believe how good the glass looked - like brand new - so I went back and asked the detailer. He said he uses Rain-X inside and out - and I've been doing it ever since.

This stuff looks and smells like lighter fluid, and you don't need much - especially inside!

Whatever it does - polish/wax/seal - it sure makes glass look great!

 

this may sound dumb...but i used car wax on my windows, and it works good to me.

 

i just heard this the other day

using car wax on every window except the front one and and use it on your side mirrors. i believe you can use it on the insides too.... having tried yet.
