Steak free windows

I was getting streaks on the outside until I made the switch from microfiber to old 100% cotton t-shirts. I also make my own IPA solution.

When people use newspaper, I’m assuming it is wet with water, right? Or do you add soap or a glass cleaner?

I spray the windows with glass cleaner, and then wipe off with the newspaper. The newspaper will absorb the glass cleaner, and then it works really well. However, I can't use this process any longer, as I don't get a newspaper now...instead preferring to pay a lot less and read their online version. So now when I want to get the windows clean I use a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser that I get wet in a bucket, and then spray glass cleaner on them or the window. Then dry off with paper towels.

Bilt Hamber Traceless is awesome for glass.

Dry, the final step is the newspaper...

using glass specific microfiber towels. If your glass is really dirty or has sap, tar, ect you should use a cleaner with a razor blade on the outside to get everything off the glass. Then get everything off the windows and do a ceramic coating properly and you will thank me later.

The other option is to use a detail spray often that has a ceramic infused or whatever they call it. Sio2 type sprays work well to clean and coat the surface.

Really love my carpro glass towel and also the rag company diamond weave glass buffing towels.

Use them with sprayway to excellent results

I use the fast glass cloths from skys the limit. They work great

I’ve found that this cloth from The Rag Company doesn’t leave streaks.

Straight IPA in a spray bottle, use a waffle towel or the brown paper towel you see in commercial restrooms. Washed towels will always have some amount a residual soap in them. And for those that are anal about their towels and streaks,,,,this guy is the best

It leaves zero streaking or hazing. Yeah it’s expensive but I’ll take it for super clean windows. Also, I even use on the dashboard screen and it removes all finger prints and smudges. It’s super annoying when you clean the screen and there are still smudges but Traceless does a great job at removing everything.

I've heard this stuff is the best...problem is it's only sold by a few retailers and constantly out of stock.

No, you used newspaper slightly damp to clean the glass. The ink was able to polish the glass & the paper was lint-free. But that has changed - modern newspapers are often printed using certain inks that can result in streaking or staining of your windows & trim. Not to mention, in our current digital age, you’re less likely to have a bunch of newspapers laying around for this purpose! The right microfiber is very helpful - less/lower nap than the typical MF cloths.
