Summary Strong enuff for dog snot (June 4, 2006)

Reviewer's Comments

Strong enough to loosen up most grime you might find on your windows.

Should not be used on aftermarket film tinted windows.

May look streak free for a few days if you use a good cloth, but streaks and haze soon appear.

Would strongly recommend using as good a window cloth as you have... Would not recommend paper towel.

Not the best to use in the sun or on warm surfaces.

Available just about anywhere glass cleaners are sold to the public.

If I had the choice of using this and a paper towel or just water and a MF cloth, I would likely go with the MF.

Summary I have one use for it in (May 3, 2006)

Reviewer's Comments

I have this product on in my shop. The only thing I use if for is to remove the glue from window tint. For that the product works great.

Summary Who Uses Windex on Cars? (May 2, 2006)

Reviewer's Comments

Why is Windex even listed here? Bad enough that it does a horrible job cleaning house windows. It obviously does more harm than good on car windows with its streaking power that needs 2-3 towels to clean. And ammonia kills glass tint. So if you love your car, go buy yourself some Meguiar's NXT Glass Cleaner, Stoner's Invisible Glass or Eagle One 20/20 instead.

Now where's that Thumbs Down icon?

Summary Not for household either (February 21, 2006)

Reviewer's Comments

If you don't want streaks/haxe in your vehicle, why would you want them in your house? This leaves lots of haze! Yes it will clean well but it doesn't leave a streak free finish as it should. I finally used my last bottle in the house and on to NXT Glass Cleaner in the house.

Summary Household use only (February 17, 2006)

Reviewer's Comments

Does not really clean glass contaminants in an automotive environment. It streaks badly, needs a few pristine microfiber towels to use, preferably waffle weaves, and is not strong enough against road grime. The glass is often coated by translucent remnants despite careful use of wiping towels. I get better results using microfiber towels with water.

Glass Plus is no better for the car.

Keep this for your domestic cleaning only. Not for auto use.
