Window Streaks :(

EastTexas · 11-30-2005, 04:42 PM

How do I get rid of window streaks?
I see the trucks at the auto shows and they do it some how!

Things I have tried with so-so results:
squeegee, newspaper, paper and cloth towels all using windex.

news paper and windex works fine for me

I've been using this stuff for a yr 1/2 and it works good. Any good parts store has it for
around 5 bucks. White vinegar also works real good with newspaper.

Invisible Glass is the only way to go.

Castle works well, and to get it realllly ceal some 00 steal wool and some water with a little soap in it. Takes out thoes tiny swrill marks and little scratches in ur glass, just be careful.

nox · 12-03-2005, 01:50 AM

I use the rainx foaming cleaner, it works pretty well.

Thehighanlowlife · 12-03-2005, 02:25 AM

STONER's Invisilble Glass greatest window cleaner on earth!

mister880 · 12-03-2005, 02:28 AM

invisible glass works well IMO and also the the glass cleaner the GM dealer sells.

I found out about it one day at a liq store run by a Korean couple. She was wiping
down the beer cooler glass with white vinegar and using a newspaper. She
said when people opened the doors the heat from the outside would hit the 37*
inside coolers and fog up the doors. They are clear glass as many of you know.
She said when the door shuts and cools down, they are almost zero streaks.
Makes it easier to clean. You know how those Mom & Pop Liq stores run. Every
penny to them is precious, so keeping their place tight pays off..

yell02sonoma · 12-03-2005, 11:58 AM

I'm gonna get some and try it.

sts-10 · 12-07-2005, 11:41 PM

I use Windex Powerized Foaming formula. It's good because it's a foam formula (stays where you spray) and it's also streak free!

(remind me of this post)

The absolute best way to clean your windows is to actually wax them, this serves 2 purposes, 1. when you wax it you can see all of the wax when u wipe it off so you don't have to worry about pulling your truck out in the sun and seeing streaks, 2. it also gives u much better visability in the rain because the wax makes the water run right off your windows

My wax of choice is called Liquid Wonder
