Glass cleaners

What type or brand of glass cleaners do y’all recommend? One of my chores before winter sets in here is to clean my wife’s and my car inside windows. I have a cheap brand of cleaner my wife got somewhere, probably a dollar store, that doesn’t work very well (leaves streaks) and I’m looking for brands that work better. I’m too cheap to get them detailed, lol.

Also looking at opinions of those tri angle shaped cleaning wands for car windows. I could used one on my old Silverado because of the window size. Thanks

 

Stoner or that can of Sprayway. I use Stoner. The key is to not huff it as the name suggests.

 

Another vote for Sprayway.

 

Sprayaway

 

Does Walmart carry sprayaway?

 

Our local Walmart has it, SE New Mexico

 

Thanks everyone! I’ll get some sprayaway if I can find it locally.

How about those wands? Are they useful?

Stoner.

 

I prefer Sprayway. Works great. It’s spelled Sprayway, not Sprayaway. I get it at Walmart.

 

You'll get a lot of replies on this, but I found regular Windex and newspaper works the best, leaves no streaks or smears, and is relatively cheap. Don't use the shiny ads type newspaper, just regular paper. Now you're going to hear how when spraying the inside the Windex gets all over the dash (someone will bring it up), wipe it off! You asked about window cleaning, this formula has worked on my private vehicles, semi/trucks and old Yamaha Rhino for decades... give it a try!

 

Windex to start the bug removal process, then Invisible Glass for the final exterior. Invisible Glass on the inside, I can still see it isn’t perfect but life is too short

 

If anyone knows of tricks for doing the inside of the windshield. I am willing to listen.

 

Long arms and patience

 

I got a small girl friend with a nice booty, and I just sit back and watch!!

Thank you for this. I was reading this thread, thinking wth is sprayaway??? lol

 

Yeah, Sprayway.
Spell check got me again!

 

Invisible Glass is what i like to use ideally. Seems to work really well but using a microfiber cloth is the key getting it just right.

 

Stoner!

 

+1 for Windex. I used to use newspaper, which back in the day I had in endless supply. Then microfiber cloth emerged and newspaper receded. I thought one of the major selling points of microfiber is that it’s lint free.

 

I use this and Sprayway

I spray a little on the pad and go to it. I have tried to spray it on the windshield but it doesn’t work as well. Once I’m done with that I wrap a few paper towels over the pad and finish the windshield. I do the drivers side from the drivers seat, then the passenger side from the passenger seat.

 

nice. Thank you

 

Since covid we no longer get a newspaper (it went under) or even the local shopper sales paper. I used to use newspaper, now paper towels.

 

I initially wrote sprayway, then changed it because, well monkey see monkey do, lol.

 

Any cleaner I’ve used always leave streaky traces when put to the scrutiny of night driving. It might look perfect during the day, but be an absolute mess at night when you’re looking at oncoming headlights.

Windex and newspaper is the best method I’ve found that will get things clean enough to pass the night-driving test. Actually, I’d be willing to bet that the brand of window cleaner is less important than making sure you use newspaper. Problem is, newspaper is harder to find nowadays.

A friend mentioned that using a magic eraser is a good stand-in for newspaper. Apparently it’s the slight abrasiveness of newspaper (or magic eraser pads) that lifts off the final traces of
dirtiness/greasiness from the inside of a windshield.

I experimented a bit with the magic eraser, and it seems it’s sufficient to use it as a final step. First, clean everything well using your choice of cleaner and cloth. After the glass dries, then use a magic eraser to lift off the last bit of streaky film. I moistened the magic eraser pad slightly with the cleaner, and used medium pressure to do slow, single wipes in one direction (not rubbing). I have to say, it really does get it as clean as newspaper, and probably requires a little less work in the end.
