    Wow!
    I would never have considered using that much vinegar and alcohol.
    That`s another reason I leave the mixes to those that have a better feel for it.
    That`s also one of the reasons for such different experiences by different people.
    Where you mixed approximately 10 oz. of each, water, vinegar, alcohol, I would have thought more like only an ounce or two each of the vinegar and alcohol.
    Then I would have groused about how poorly it worked.

    Also, the only alcohol we have in the house is rubbing alcohol. It says 70% isopropyl alcohol. Is this the same thing you use?
    The vinegar I figure would be the same white vinegar I use for my MF towel rinse.

    Charles, You have all the right components, assuming you are using the 5% variety of vinegar (also assuming it isn`t apple cider vinegar -- though I can`t say for certain that would be detrimental -- just a waste IMO)

    Just tried a mix of 8 - 8 - 8, water, vinegar, alcohol with 2 drops of Dawn added.
    I did some mirrors in the house, (Still 29 degrees outside), and it seemed to work good.
    The only negative is a very strong vinegar smell.
    Gosh, what a surprise that a 1/3 vinegar solution amells like vinegar.
    Supposed to be 50 degrees tomorrow so I can try it on at least one of the vehicles. Hopefully, two of them. It depends on when I run out of gas.
    They are dirty enough that they won`t be 15 minute washes this time.

    Re: Whats your favorite glass cleaner?

    Yeah Wait until you use on interior automotive glass. It is effective (both performance and cost), but some might say pungent. I normally use that only for the outside window panes of the house. The results are good and the scent isn`t quite as overpowering.

    Chances are, I won`t be using it on any interior glass, house or car. In fact, chances are the 24 ounces I have mixed up will be used on the exterior windows of the house and I won`t be mixing up any more. If I do, it will be with a lot less vinegar.
    Pungent is probably a good description.

    CG window clean is my go to for all my glass cleaning needs. IMO it is better than IG in the aspects that it performs much better and is $11.99 a gallon.

    1 ounce of my APC( = .41) to a gallon of water or 32 gallons for $12.95 sounds like a great deal to me

    Interestingly enough, I just read Coastal Eddie`s post in another thread regarding this use of APC. His dilution was 1/2 capful to 32 oz. water. I`ll now equate that 1/2 capful to = 1/4 oz.

    I`d say that`s accurate I may just have to bottle it that way and make some $$$$

    I`m presently working on my own formula, so far the only product I like
    is stoner invisible glass. So I`m off to the lab.
