Arg...Streak marks on windows!!!

[01sapphirebob]

O.k. What does everybody use to clean their windows. No matter what I do I can't seem to avoid streaking on the glass. What does everybody use as far as product and what do you remove said product with. i.e. paper towel or microfiber towel etc...

I use the Costco brand microfiber towels and Sparkle glass cleaner. Comes out streak free every time.

Bought at Costco. Sorry.

I think Sam's Club sells the same ones. They're yellow.

Detail spray and a microfiber towel.

 

[J&R3xV10]

I use 3M glass cleaner and either paper towels or microfiber and never have any problems.

Give newspaper a try, too. After you wipe the glass down with a paper towel, finish it off with crumpled up newspaper - almost guaranteed you won't have any more streaks.

 

[gb66gth]

vinegar and newspaper

 

[gen2lover]

alcohol. perfection.

Agreed. Stoner "Invisible Glass" and a microfiber towel get the job done perfectly.

+1 on this.
Windex & newspaper.
Cheap, plentiful, everywhere, and effective.
Plus, no solvents! Woohoo!

Streaking as in minor perfectly straight vertical scratches that seem to have developed from old & worn out window rubbers (that's what I figured is going on with my car)?

 

[gen2lover]

isopropyl alcohol. trust me.

 

[mad0953]

Adam's green glass cleaner and some cheap microfiber---no streaks and takes the bugs off of the windshield as well.

 

[01sapphirebob]

I have noticed streaks when I use this product, however I will have to try it again. I use griots products. I might have to switch to the microfiter towels. Thanks everyone for the useful info. I never thought about newspaper as a tool for cleaning windows!

In a standard spray bottle mix 1 cap full of baby shampoo and fill bottle with water. Has worked for years for me. This is what I use before tinting windows too.

Be sure to use the No More Tears version to keep the streaks away.
