Glass Cleaner

[Brad7]

I use the D-line glass cleaner and can get a streak-free result everywhere except the windshield. I know it is my technique so what do you guys use when cleaning glass?

Hmmm, something doesn't make sense here.

I use the Meguiar's Detailer line glass cleaner and when used with a Microfiber Glass Towel it's crystal clear. Keep in mind that the windshield is angled so the sun is for the most part perpendicular to it thus showing everything you might have missed.

Make sure your towels are clean and not redepositing dirt and stains back on it leaving streaks.

Re: Glass Cleaner

maybe it has something to do with what other things you put on your windshield. like washer fluid maybe?

Re: Glass Cleaner

I use the D Line Glass Cleaner Concentrate at 10:1.

I use only terry and cotton cloths.

Microfiber streaks IMO.

After cleaning the glass with a terry cloth I go over it with a cotton cloth very slowly.

I also view all glass in direct sunlight for streaks during the final inspection.

Any streaks are handled with water and a dry cotton cloth.

Re: Glass Cleaner

I use 2 glass microfibers. 1 to clean the glass. Then the other one to leave a streak free finish.

Re: Glass Cleaner

I sometimes have the same problem with the interior windshield. I read on another forum where it was "out-gassing" of the dash. It is almost like there is a film on the inside of the windshield. It varies on each car as to how bad it is, I can usually do it enough to get it done, but it is always a problem.

Re: Glass Cleaner

Can also look at claying your windshield first.

Re: Glass Cleaner

Ya- if it's the outside, the road grime can play havoc. I've clayed glass ever since the first major detail I did and saw what came off... :O

Re: Glass Cleaner

i think it is the inside that is streaking and based on what tuck said i think it is the microfibers causing this. I will try terry towels and see what my results are. Thanks everyone!

Re: Glass Cleaner

Dont use too much either... that is a common problem.

Re: Glass Cleaner

I also use and like the Detailer Glass Cleaner, but recently after cleaner the window with a micro fiber, I have used a diaper for the final buffing. I have found that a diaper has less lint than either a micro fiber cloth or terry cloth towel. The problem is finding an original cloth diaper.
