Rep Power: 370 Ive used Windex Automotive Window cleaner, I think that is what it is called.. Windex something or other, not the household stuff cause I think that will f*ck with tint. I just use a newspaper, and get a streak free shine.

Rep Power: 0 this is the best way to clean the inside of your windows (works for me). spray the window (i use eagle 20/20 vision window cleaner) and make sure you use a wet napkin and go over the entire window to clean off the film, etc... next (with the window still wet) use a small squeege and run it across the window and use a dry towel to wipe it off the excess. this method gets results by not having to see the circles and spots you've missed by wiping and smearing.

Rep Power: 314 well use a glass cleaner and wipe all the residue off, but after youre done try this:
take a clean, dry cotton terry and again wipe away where you cleaned up on your windows.
this should get rid of that greasy look. possibly.

Rep Power: 371 No matter how hard you try Glass cleaner will not remove that stuff. What you need to do is apply some Clear Vinegar to a rage and wipe it into the glass. I suspect this is the back window we are talking about. I have had many civic's come to my detailing business with the same problem. I cleaned the whole window with Vinegar and then with a Ammonia free glass cleaner, and wiped the glass down with a micro fiber towel. The customers that had this done have not had the problem since.
