Stoners Invisible Glass. Good stuff! I use micro fiber towels on screens and plastic but just plain old paper towels on the glass. Some old detailers tricks.
1. Clean glass in the shade when the glass is cool
2. Clean one side of glass in left to right pattern and other side in up and down pattern. This helps to easily identify which side any streaks are left behind on.
3. When doing windows that open, roll part way down to clean top edges, close and finish window.

Is is there a secret to getting this stuff off the windshield. I use a product called invisible glass but it end up with streaking and smearing. There must be a better way or some secret to get my windows clean and streak free!

Have always hated doing the inside windows!
lots of spray can window cleaners sometimes leave a film behind. good towels will help.
this is what I do for interior windows.
1 clean with microfiber and invisi glass or similar window tint safe cleaner
2 when satisfied with results come back with 50/50 vinegar and water and good paper towels
3 yes it will smell like vinegar for a bit but it usually dissipates within the day.

As a FYI. I've found that Invisible Glass also works great on counter tops, glass top ranges, and stainless sinks, TV screens, and computer keyboards and monitors. I live by myself, and that's what I had.

I have also used it on floor mats. it worked ok, but I'm still looking for something better. Any suggestions?

I just use tire cleaner like Bleech White and a brush, rinse, let dry, and use some interior detailer spray.

Microfiber fiber towels and the three towel method works best for me. YouTube it, works great.

Check out McKee's 37 line of products. They have a great glass cleaning system.

Just tried McGuire s water spot remover on back windows and inside and outside drivers window.

Looks like it it worked well on backs. Backs don’t get cleaned to often because most the year I have a leer top on


i only tested inside the drivers window to see if it would take those marks out caused by the rubber window seals from rolling window up and down. It appears to have worked welll

i will reports back after I go out this afternoon to see if there’s any shiny spots or such on drivers window

i think the product is basically glass polish

After a drive in the sunshine all is well

if your having trouble getting the inside clear of streaking this is a possible option

next test will be just regular cleaning of inside after awhile. This may be a once a year thing.

For the past 40 years I've been driving I've always used Windex and newspaper, never any streaks, always clean. We still have junk mail that comes in on the same type of paper so even though newspapers are rare, it's still available and usually scattered across my lawn. Wind tunnel street I live on.
