Vinegar and water.

WeeYari · 04-16-2009, 04:54 PM

Vinegar and newspaper instead of cloth.

KCALB SIRAY · 04-16-2009, 04:55 PM

All purpose/Window Cleaner
1/2 cup ammonia
2 cups rubbing alcohol
water
1 tsp. dishwashing liquid

In a one-gallon container, mix ammonia and rubbing alcohol. Fill
almost to the top with water. Add dishwashing liquid and mix. Top off
with water. Rated by Consumer Reports Magazine to work much better
(and much cheaper) than most commercial window and kitchen sprays.
Alcohol is the secret ingredient - it's what commercial window washers
use.
*Safe on most, but not all, household surfaces.
I use this to clean almost everything from the bathroom to the window.
This the main cleaner I use in my house.

Stoners invisible glass and a high quality microfiber cloth. They actually make special microfiber clothes designed specifically for glass. Will get it spotlessly clean.

You've got this lying around the house already. Try it. If you're not satisfied, then cook up a recipe, or spend money on product.

BTW - I recently did a Windex/microfibre attempt on mine. Haze all over the place.

TinyGiant · 04-16-2009, 05:19 PM

i might try the invisible glass stuff .. alot of the other stuff left a craze of haze :)

YarisSedan · 04-16-2009, 05:21 PM

Trust me its the best stuff. Once i found it i was sold. I never use any other glass cleaning product now.

Where do you find Stoners?

If you use vinegar, does that leave a smell?

OK, I walked right into that one!

edisonfire · 04-16-2009, 06:06 PM

I tried that GreenWorks for autos in my car and that was terrible... streaks and hazes to the point of dangerous driving

i used water and a little but of dish soap (sunlight) and it washed the streaks right out and was really happy with the results.. however, that's not really portable, so i got invisible glass wipes at canadian tire

that stuff is good too

Invisable Glass wipes.

Works like a charm.

YarisSedan · 04-16-2009, 06:16 PM

FYI Invisible glass wipes is made by stoner the company that makes invisible glass. Just a in a easier wipe version. I like the spray can cause it is cheaper and will give you many more uses.

Mateo · 04-16-2009, 07:14 PM

invisible glass is some good stuff, but a clean dry micro fiber towel gets the haze that always forms over time really well.

TinyGiant · 04-16-2009, 07:32 PM

I just got back from autozone.. spent 4.99 on the can of invisible glass and 3.99 on the pair of microfiber towels..

i thiink i should go back and complain... i think it dissolved my glass..lol

it looks like its not even there anymore.. other than a couple smal spots of bug guts i need to get off the windshield.. its spotless..

whooo hooooo for invisible glass!

TinyGiant · 04-16-2009, 07:33 PM

BTW the can is huge and will last for a long long time!

*tomato* · 04-16-2009, 07:36 PM

Fantastic. I'm going to get some this WE.

I hate it when I can't see out of my windshield.

BTW, can you please show a picture of what it looks like? Just wanna make sure I get the right stuff. There is a LOT of stuff on the shelf at Kragen.
