Cleaning glass????

MICKSVRS · 14-04-2008, 13:16

Hi all,
What do people find is the best product for cleaning all windows(inside) without leaving streaks etc.

Almost tempted to try the stuff swmbo uses on the windows in the house!

Thanks in advance
Mick

Works for me! Remember to polish with some screwed-up newspaper once dry to get rid of any stubborn streaks!

Meguiars NXT Generation glass cleaner or Stoners Invisible glass cleaner.

Use two microfibre cloths, one for applying and one for drying.

Works a treat. No need for newspaper/kitchen roll etc. Megs dries quick in the sun though so you need to be quick.

The majority of household glass cleaners are awful.

Megs Glass Cleaner but the bulk version you can cut down is what I use and also some special window cloths that I bought from Pepboys and Autozone in the US.............works for me.............

Il second this method, takes 5mins and is alot less hassle than fannying about with paper!

I've found a good solution to stop the fabia windows steaming up if youve got this problem

first clean off with autoglym fast glass

apply autoglym glass polish

then apply rainx anti fog leave for about 10 mintues then buff off

I use domestic glass cleaner, and get excellent results. The way I do it is to get some kitchen towel, hold the sheet flat without screwing it up, spray a gernerous amount on the paper towel and then clean the glass by wiping in a continuous straight action in the same direction, without stopping (eg. from top to bottom). The cleaner soon dries and leaves the screen perfectly clear.

As soon as the kitchen towel starts to discolour, discard it and get a fresh piece. The streaking is caused by moving dirt around, so the key is to always use clean cloths/kitchen towel.

i use the autoglym glass cleaner cream stuff, did them tonight in fact as the windows were getting a bit grimmy inside. easy to use, dont have smear marks afterwards and its easy peasy to clean with (better than the spray stuff).

Another vote for Stoners from me, I brought a couple of quarts back from the US last year and it's still going strong and does a great job on the conservatory to
