Secret #8: Dry Your Glass in Two Directions (From the NAPDR forums)

Here's a great tip from Meguiars' Pennington: Dry your glass in two directions. Get into the habit of doing your final wipe of interior glass in a horizontal direction, and the final wipe on the exterior in a vertical direction. Then, when you find the inevitable streak, you'll instantly know whether it's on the inside (horizontal) or the outside (vertical) of the glass. You'll get perfectly clear glass without jumping in and out of the vehicle chasing that streak.

To answer the OP's original question, I just tried TurtleWax Ice Glass Cleaner yesterday for the first time and I was pleasantly surprised with the results. Not too much effort required to achieve streak free windows. I have 3 bottles of the stuff left over from Target's clearance sale of Xmas promotional TurtleWax Ice kits.

I use stoners glass cleaner with a regular Mf and then wipe down with a clean dry mf.

Removes the streaks for me.

I clean my glass with NXT Glass Cleaner and then use Ultimate Quik Wax on it

Glass Concentrate or NXTglasscleaner is the easiest and best way to achieve streakfree clean windows even on windows that are full of nicotine !

If it's really that bad that you can't get it clean, and you have glass coverage on your insurance, hope a rock jumps up on the highway and cracks it

A short nap microfiber towel works the best for glass cleaning.

It's works well.

Re: Auto Glass cleaning -- HELP ME

Absolute streak free is a near impossibility,however i have found the most often effective method is to lightly spray a vinegar free window cleaner onto a clean microfiber cloth ,clean and dry the glass,then using a troublelight check for streaks,if you find them go back over with a 0000 steelwool pad then wipe dry with the microfiber cloth.

I won't use any other product but SPRAYWAY Glass Cleaner. You can find it at Target for $3. Or go to their website. You must use a window microfiber towel to wipe it off.

Re: Auto Glass cleaning -- HELP ME

I haven't had good results with Stoners' Invisible Glass unfortunately. I just bought a gallon of Meguiars Glass Cleaner Concentrate from my local auto paint distributor shop (which makes 11 gallons of spray for ~$17 ) and so far it's the best glass cleaner I've used.
The second half of the equation is the type of medium one wipes with. I find that even my clean microfiber towels occasionally leave streaks (probably residual laundry detergent), paper towels leave those fibers...so someone else will have to recommend you a proper application medium. For the cleaning liquid though, it's hard to top Meguiars GCC, and the price is amazing. And you'll want to drink it because it smells like lovely grape soda.

Re: Auto Glass cleaning -- HELP ME

IIRC, Kevin Brown uses terry cloths. I tried it with NXT glass cleaner and it works marvelous! I bought some Meguiar's terry cloths and those are the bomb! No lint to boot!
