I used it on the car and thought it did a great job. In fact, it looked so good, kinda like Stoner's IG, that I kept going back to the car and finally convinced myself that it must be my imagination

I spent several hours cleaning glass in the house (windows, doors, chandelier, etc.) this past weekend and it turns out that this product kicks some serious you-know-what and it does leave the glass super glossy. Lack of streaking is another benefit. In fact, it probably cleans better/faster and looks nicer than anything else I have tried recently. It's a nice $3 surprise. It's that good!






I don't think it's a new product, I just haven't really noticed it before.
I use Windex as well. I am actually surprised to see the number of people using expensive glass cleaner. But then again I don't have a $80K car or work in auto detailing. But I am perfectly content with using good old Windex on my cars and home.

Re: Glass cleaner

I've been using Rain-x's Glass Cleaner with paper towels and then newspaper. I think the news paper left some very fine scratches on the glass but it does get it clean....

Re: Glass cleaner

For the exterior, try using paint cleaner, like the Meguiar's stuff once in a while. It's a pain to use but once you've buffed it super clean, you can use pretty much anything after that and it'll work better (Even Evil Scum, I mean Eagle One). It also seems to make the windows have more shine for some reason. Yes I know glass isn't porous but it's still susceptible to funk buildup that car washing misses.

Not practical for inside though, and don't use it on tint. I still haven't found anything I really like for the inside (I smoke). I might try 50/50 mix of alcohol and distilled water. Price is right!

Also, someone mentioned Werstatt Jett. I use that on my paint but haven't tried it on glass. Great idea, probably helps keep it cleaner too.

Very surprised to see there are only 2 of us.I beleive the reason so many people hate doing windows is because of the Alcohol content in Window Cleaners. Alcohol=Streeks
You will constantly be battling streeks using Window Cleaner

Re: Glass cleaner

Rain-X 2-in-1 foam Glass Cleaner with rain repellent is by far the best for me.
