Window cleaning

So anyways , Everybody has their own little tips and tricks for detailing , but there is one thing I would like to hear from others and that is window cleaning, ...What is your favorite method and type of cleaner for your windows? My next order of zaino has some window polisher so i'm sure it will work great but I would like to hear your tricks as it has never been my strongest point. Thanks

Same as Carl. Sal recommended the Stoners Window Cleaner to me, and I trust his opinion. Stuff works great. A little Z6 spritz afterwards helps it shine up a bit

AutoZone and PepBoys carry the Stoners line. Actually, everywhere that isn't Discount Auto seems to have it.

re windows cleaner

I used to work as a deatailer and we used to use bon ami on the windows. It is a powder cleaner, you put it on with a wet rag and let it dry to its powder form. then wipe of and polish with newspaper. Newspaper is used cause the ink actually is like a polish. Try using newspaper it is great.

Eagle One 20/20 and news papers is the best stuff I've used. Gets the window so clean it dissapears. Seriously good stuff, I've hit my hands on the window many times sitting in the car because I thought the window was down. Give it a try you will be impressed. Good luck!

if you get a little steel wool it makes glass look really good and doesnt scratch it at all. the guy who painted my car showed me that. dont use on mirrors though cuz they will scratch.
