Glass Detailing

Some swear by the squeegee, but i find that using newspapers is the best and easiest way to get all that grease and oily residue off your windows.

1. use any alcohol based cleaner aka. (Stoners Invisible Glass or Eagle one 20/20)

2. Use liberal amounts not too much and not too little to avoid streaking or under cleaning.

3. Trick of the trade to wipe is a regular black and white newspaper. No special folding is required, just
crumple up the classified section or the tv highlight page and start wiping. The Alkaline in the ink actually blends in streaks leaving your windows sparkling crystal clear with absolutely no streaks whatso ever.

I've tried em all and this really works, plus its alot less time consuming since you don't ever have to double wipe all those streaks that you swear to god weren't there a minute ago.

I use Spray Away glass cleaner. I actually just bought a product that removes the acid rain spots on your glass.
