I heard last night that using newspaper with windex is actually a really good way to clean your windows. Is this true?If so, why would you use it, wouldnt black ink get all over or not?Thanks.

 

Nope! I was afraid of that until I tried it. It really works... Probably one of the great mysteris of the universe. But now I use Windex and newspaper every time I wash my car and my parents' cars.

 

that's what i use. the ink dosen't come off and it dosen't leave any fuzz on the windows.

 

really?That is really wierd. Who the heak thought of that? Anyways, I'll have to try it tommorrow. Thanks for the replies

 

Really weird, but it works, so I can't complain!

 

Ya, my dad told me about this a long time ago. Actually works very well.


Yager-

 

Windex sucks, it streaks way too much. Try using a foam cleaner like Invisible Glass. It doesn't have any soaps that streak, and is completely safe for tinted windows. Good stuff.

 

Steel wool and window cleaner works very well. I have never tried newspaper though.

 

newspaper comes in handy....for literature, windows, ***-wiping, *wait* did I say ***-wiping

 

windex with newspaper is suppose to get rid of water spots. but USING FOAM cleaners with bounty, is the best, no streaks!

 

Yeah thats the one , they used this method in the old days, i use this way ever since i can remember

 

If you have tinted windows, DO NOT use Windex unless it's the ammonia-free kind. The ammonia that most household window cleaner has in it will eventually fade the tint on your windows. Just an FYI...

 

WTF! newspaper *runs out side and tries it!*

 

steel wool? WTF? do you have thick coats of paint on your window?

 

It is also real good to polish your chrome parts especially your wheel's polish lip.

 

Stoner brand Invisible Glass

 

not all types of newpapers work well, but most do. It's the ink that the newpaper is printed with. The ink grabs the dirt and absorbs it all. Thats why after you wiped your windows, the ink is all faded and stuff... and if you notice, its very clean and cheap. Why do you think some bums in the streets in run upto your car with some windex and newpapers?

 

Well, I cleaned my windows today and wow!It works really well. no white fuzzy things from the paper towels. This is the way to go

 

i use the "SprayWay" brand foam window cleaner(white and blue spray can) and it works damn well. i think most dealerships use this brand, atleast the one i work at does. i never tried newspaper before.

 

i believe the reason why is because the "ink" in the paper acts like a polishing agent

 

just go down to a auto window shop and buy the industrial window cleaner they use. I bought some from apple auto glass and the first time i used it, it was so clear i almost put my fist thru my driver's window. they leave no streaks

 

windex is the worst window cleaner you can buy.

go to any glass shop and get the window foam then spray it on and use newspaper to wipe it off

 

newspapers are the shxt for cleaning windows. There has to be a reason why all the bums be using it but seriously, it works really well.

 

newspaper

 

I started doin my windshields with newspapers... and it was REAAALLY clean, until after it rained and everything, then I started getting streaks of this gray **** by the top edges of the windshields (front AND rear)... (lead maybe) then I stopped
