Windex and other ammonia-based glass cleaners are bad for the rubber seals around the windshield and other windows. They also cause streaking and clouding on the outside window surface and takes forever to remove. Rainex also causes streaking that’s noticeable in the winter months when you’re defrosting your windshield. The manufacturer recommends using Dawn to remove it if you have that problem.

For glass, for example glasses, your fingers and soap work best, rinse with water then dry with oneofthem microfiber you get from the glasses store......not going to work well on inside of windshield, but outside soaping whole hand works better than cloth If you apply rainx to a cleaned outside of windshield and you get streaks, simply spray misty water and buff Same thing with fogx on the inside

This is great advice regarding the Dawn/Water mix. The method is very close to mine. Depending on the outside temps (warmer/more often) it should be done about once a month, more often in warmer months and fewer in cooler months. The off-gassing of materials used to manufacture the interior and smokers requires more frequent cleaning of interior windows.

As a professional window cleaner, I use Dawn exclusively. I do most of what he shows here, but I use a squeegee instead of wiping the whole window. I only wipe what the squeegee can't reach. But I do wipe it similarly to this guy. A good squeegee with ettore rubber is what makes no streaks. If you don't get it clean with soap and water before hand, though, that's what will make them show up later.

I keep my car clean, but i always keep my windows spotless, i cannot stand driving without a clear view of things. I keep something inside the car to absorb moisture and prevent the glass from fogging up, and during the winter, to de-ice the windows I'll use a spray bottle with a mixture of water and rubbing alcohol. Sometimes i add the smallest amount of dish soap to the mix so it doesn't run off as quickly. Works great, melts it down fast and makes it easier to scrape away, even at it's worst.

Try Invisible Glass. I saw that on a KZbin video by a car detailer a few years ago and have been using it ever cents. He says that the ones that streak are glass cleaners that contain ammonia. Everybody thinks ammonia is good, but it’s not. We use Invisible Glass on our car and home windows. It works great! That being said, you can never go wrong with water and a little bit of Dawn dishwashing liquid, especially for extra dirty windows

I agree with using the dawn for oil. But after that use just plain water. I worked at a pharmacy and noticed when the evening sun would glare thru our windows they never had any streaks like most glass cleaners leave. We had an older man that had been at the pharmacy his entire adult life and he chose to clean the windows. One day I just asked him what was in his spray bottle that kept them so spotless? He laughed and said water. I thought he was joking. I laughed and said no really. He said really just water. He learned it when he was in service. I’ve used only water now for years on mirrors and glass. Now if they have some type of buildup on them you might need the dawn trick first.

Great video! A friend of mine uses a spray bottle with the Dawn and water mix. She fills a spray bottle with it to clean interior and exterior home windows and to clean kitchen counter tops and stoves which tend to have a lot of grease residue. Works better than commercial cleaners. Inspired by this video, I am going to experiment by using a dash of Dawn and "Distilled" Water in spray bottle . Using this Cobra method: Spray it on the towel (not the windshield) and use a separate drying towel to clean. No need constantly mix up a bucket of cleaner.

I've used this method before and I found it really cleaned my windows. The only thing I would add is make sure to clean the windshield and the rest of the car glass on a cloudy day , or under a tree, or inside a garage. No direct sunlight. Doing this while the sun is beaming on the windshield and making it hot, will cause streaks as some of water will dry on contact with the hot glass. It's then it's almost impossible to wipe the streaks away with a cloth.

I use a similar method except 3 steps. Second step I wipe with a wet (No Soap) cloth. Hes also correct that some glass is so dirty the process bears repeating. BTDT

Wish you had a video on doing the back glass. I just finished windshield, back glass. What a chore for me! Female, 77, short with short arms. I simply cannot reach the bottom of the glass. For the back I had to lay down the seats, Scotch in facing the trunk, with legs in trunk. Much easier to clean the glass, but lots more work to do so. Still had trouble with those bottom corners.

Great video. Did it just like this on my own and was surprised how well the windshield cleaned up. My only variation was that after the pass with the wet microfiber towel I used another completely dry microfiber towel to ensure that I got rid of any streaks. This is much better and less expensive than buying products that do not really work. Thanks again.

6” rubber squeegee with plastic frame. Fast , easy, non scratching . Squeegees are the best on any glass. 99 % of the time it is just a haze you are cleaning off the inside of the glass so just soft water is fine.

Take a damp Absorber towel fold it however you want and wipe. It does a great job in about 20 seconds of actual wiping. Just have to make sure it's clean and not dry and not too wet that it leaves droplets. It Absorbs everything.
