Icon4 Cleaning your windows with....

So everyone is always talking about keeping the paint clean waxing it so we can have longevity for are gloss paint job but how about are windows?

My #1 thing is clean windows I cant stand having a dirty window!
I have used countless products but I can seem to to get them perfectly clean, I will be driving and notice that there is some type of streak or it's just not as clean as i want it to be.. there is always something.

So what do you all use to make your windows "CLEAN" to the point people are asking is there even a window there? lol HIT IT UP BELOW~

It is the hardest part of the car to clean, with its big, raking windshield. Especially the back window, for us coupe guys.

Have you tried Stoner's? I hear it's pretty good.

(JK) No i havent used Stoner's, I have actually seen amazing resualts from, you would never guess but vinegar,(yes the house hold cooking vinegar) Never used it on my car b/ the smell but I ENVY my dad's windows b/c they are fugin clean.. just has that funky smell. lol

try some denatured alcohol and some DI water. Cheap and easy, plus there are no deposits to leave behind. DI water is essentially pure and the alcohol will evaporate

Yup, exterior is mine, she does the interior. I was undercoating it and she went to town. Granted it was on my subaru .


Denim towels is a must = no lint, white fibers left behind.
