Stoner Invisible Glass Use it with a MF towel after you wash and dress your trim. It will remove streaks, and anything that makes your windows or mirror look hazy. I really love it , ALso becasue it is available locally!

I had the same problem. I went to a glass shop to fix a chip and they sold the stuff they use - SRP - Foaming Glass Cleaner. Best stuff I've ever used. The number on the can says 18007281817. I think it was 4.50 for a 19 OZ can.

Eagle One 20/20 or Stoner's Invisible glass with a dedicated microfiber towel works for me on interior glass. On the exterior glass, I just use Quik Shine.

I find that the windshield has too be extremely cool, or no matter what u use, it will streak, at least a little bit. Just like paint. I save those for last when I do a detail. Followed up by Invisible Glass.

The best solution is STONERS “ I.G ‘ with any type of MF. Best stuff on the market for glass cleaning. I never thought something that is available locally could work so dame GOOD!

Explain this newspaper thing to me..?

Forget about the ink, it has to do with the paper. Newspaper is not real absorbant, so you can smear around the cleaner. Newspaper also leaves nothing behind. Use a paper towel on your windows and you'll see little pieces of the paper left behind (or even a towel for that matter), but not so with newspaper. But don't use colored ink, not sure why, but I think it bleeds.

Newspaper does not lint and it does not leave streaks because its so dry it doesnt add any moisture to the cleaner. The way I do it is 3 sprays for the windshield, 1 for sidewindows and 3 for the rear window. Use 1 sheet of newspaper for the windshield and rear window each. 1 sheet for the sidewindows, and the cleaner left on the used paper is good enough to get any other glass on the car i.e mirrors, pillar glass, gauge covers.

Same stuff here. I picked up some at a local tint shop for like 5 dollars...it also does wonders on factory chromies.

actually the vinegar neutralizes the ink in the newspaper and won't bleed. in turn the 2 mixed together will get down intothe natural pitts and crevices in the glass. :thumbsup:
