I've been having a little trouble with cleaning glass. I switched from one cleaner to another. Right now I'm using Stoners Invisible Glass and Scott's glass cleaning paper towels. They thing is there is still streaks on the glass even after two applications. What so you do with your glass from streaking?

Re: need help with glass cleaning
A lot of glass streaking problems are from using too much product. Perhaps try using less?
I use MF towels - one to apply, one to buff off - is that what you're doing too?Originally posted by BluelineI own a silver vehicle and a black vehicle owns me. The black one demands attention, washing, detailing, waxing and an occasional dinner out at a nice restaurant. The silver one demands nothing and it looks just fine. I think the black vehicle is taking advantage of me, and the silver car is more my style. We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

"Fast Glass" (5 Pack) - 100% Streak Free Glass Cloth
Our Fast Glass cleaning cloths are exactly what you need for fast and easy 100% streak free glass. I expect when you first open the package and view them you may have the same first reaction I did. "What did I just buy?!" They are very unassuming at first view but don't judge this book by its cover! The first time you wipe them across the interior of that hazy windshield or some other dirty surface all doubts will be put away! The day I received these cloths I gave them a thorough testing. I attempted to tear one to no avail. I held it up to the light to inspect the fibers, and finally set them loose on the interior of a hazy windshield. Incredilby easy to use with no chemicals needed! I simply wet the entire towel and then wrung it out completely! After that well... Take a look through the pictures and see for yourself! I simply wiped the surface and within seconds it was dry without not a spot, smear, or any haze to be found. I simply flipped the towel as needed and was done almost as quickly as I had started.

The windshield is the only thing that steaks on me no matter what I use or how I apply it. For the others I use a mf towel folded in half and half again. Spray one or two sprays and wipe on glass. Use other side to buff dry. Works great. I have come to the conclusion that the windshield has some type of factory coating or something. Going to eventually compound with da and see what that does to it.

Re: need help with glass cleaning
Is the streaking on the inside or outside?
I also use Stoner's (for the inside of the windshield), but have no problem at all with streaking.
I use the newspaper trick for cleaning, then an worn out dish towel for the 'final wipe'.
For every other window, Meguiar's Perfect Clarity.

Re: need help with glass cleaning
Yeah doing it in the sun will give you issues. I typically use a micrfiber towel with a light mist of stoners to wipe the glass and follow up with another microfiber to remove any residue. You may have to go over it a couple of times just to be sure. The last time I went to pep boys I decided to pick up some of these peak towels and give them a shot. They actually did a real good job cleaning the glass.
These are what I bought
