Glass Cleaner!
Car care is pretty simple thing to do but what gets me irritated is when I need to clean the windows exteriors and interior. What have you guys tried and got the best results (No Streaking)? and what did do use to wipe your windows with?

OK I tried that and its works pretty good but what do I use to wipe it Paper towel or a Microfiber cloth? because its seems streak free but when the Sun hits the glass, I notice some swirling...

Use newspaper to wipe your windows... if you don't believe me try it, but newspaper and Invisible Glass makes for some seriously clear glass. I SEEN IT!

Not really sure, just a family habit passed down to me that I can vouch for... not that anyone in my family takes care of their car but me, but hey... anyway yeah newspaper just seems to leave no streaks whatsoever. Try it.

Newspapers work, but a clean and dry microfibre cloth + Meguiar's Glass Cleaner is what I use.

how about the washer fluid? do you put glass cleaner and water to the washer fluid container? (sorry to ask newbie here...)

Is that invisible glass ammonia free (for tinted windows)?
The guy at the tint shop uses baby shampoo and water. |

I went to my nearby WalMart and lo and behold, the shelf was completely empty of Invisible Glass. I ended up buying the foaming window cleaner next to it made by Gunk. It worked really well and is ammonia free and safe for tint. Also, many people have told me the same thing about newspaper. I haven't tried it yet. Would newspaper be safe on tint though?
