    I buy that regular Windex blue color one for windows, and dry it out with a terry cloth. But it always always comes out greasy sometimes I just prefect drying the windows after drying the whole car and just giving it another pass with a terry dry cloth to remove the water spots it comes out cleaner streak free and no windex rather than adding that stuff.

    As I understand, Windex contains ammonia which is bad for car paint.

    I use Megs window cleaner that doesn't streak at all. I need to use it after using their wash n wax which puts a wax coating on the windows which can be seen when the sun is low.

    About $20 or less for a gallon which makes 11 gallons. I can highly recommend!

    Use ONR in a bucket with a sponge, clean the windows, then wipe them streak free. DONE!

    If you get water that drips on the panels, wipe it dry, but if you're car is dirty, leaf blow the water dry, as you should NEVER wipe dirt.

    +3 I also love the Meg's D-line concentrate and usually follow with UQW, (D156).

    Watch for the free shipping deals and the gallons jugs of these are a great bargain.

    Stoners IG, $3.49 a can at wallymart. Get the can, not that spray bottle stuff. Spray,let it foam for 10-15 seconds, wipe, done.

    Megs glass cleaner, the best by a long shot. I used to be a huge fan of IG, no more, the Megs stuff works so much better, smells better and is cheaper. Its almost like a QD for glass.

    Clearly Better Glass Cleaner from Surf City Garage was always my go to---after the first wipe it partially drys to a visible light fog--removing the fog with the second wipe/towel asures no streaks. Ordered a bottle of the 3D concentrate when free shipping was inplace and it performs the same way at a fantastic price -- $4.99 for a bottle that makes approx 6 gallons + six gallons of distilled water ($6.00) so $11.00 for over six gallons of ready to use glass cleaner--works out to about .35 per 24 OZs

    That is my story dead on, Megs glass cleaner is the best hands down for the value.

    I like Stoner's Invisible Glass ok but the best I've found for me is Prima Clarity.

    Works great, I very rarely have to go back over glass with ONR at QD strength and a MF towel after washing them with ONR.

    Two mistakes that are common when cleaning glass:

    1. Using something other than microfiber
    2. Not getting the glass wet enough-you don't get it wet enough with the glass cleaner, you can't remove all the built up grime.
