Iam fed up trying to clean my windshield.

I cannot seem to clean the inside. No matter what i use or how many times I clean it, within days there are streaks all over the inside. Whats the secret??

Try using less cleaner, and dryer towels. I have trouble using any cleaner on the inside glass.

Get some glass cleaner.... spray the window, then wipe the inside with a towel.

Then respray the glass cleaner on the inside,
and squeegee it off. Do NOT use the towel on the last go.

Tha's how the store owners and skyscraper window washers do it. Works like a charm.

You can always use newspaper to dry it. The ink of the newspaper acts as a polish for the glass. Try that then if not go buy the glass sheet things in the stores.

I have. It works better than Windex, but still leaves streaks.

The best thing I have used for windows is Stoner's Invisible Glass with microfiber towels. Spray it and wipe it down with an MF towel and use a 2nd MF towel to clean off the remainder of the product. No streaks whatsoever.
