I use Windex and paper towels on my windows, rear view mirror, side mirrors and I still get streaks. It's dirving me nuts.......... There seams to be something around the edge of the side and rear view mirrors causing smearing.

I also notice that on both side windows theres what looks to be water spots all across the windows but they wont come out with Windex.

Any ideas??

Lifehacker had an article once about cleaning streaky windows with newspaper and vinegar diluted with water.

NAHURRY · 08-08-2009, 04:05 PM

Try "Stoners invisible glass"...Lot better than windex imo.

Works great. This is what most of the car show guys use.

any kind of foaming glass cleaner will do better than blue juice

Yea, I live in Arizona and it's been averaging about 110 degrees so far. I pull it out the garage and wash then right back into the garage after washing.

i use a california gel blade to move the water

im glad im not the only one with those effing streaks on my windows - hard not to notice them with the windows up and 12% tint

Best stuff I've found yet to get and keep the windows clean.

Sword5 · 08-08-2009, 09:28 PM

I usually just use a couple of cloth towels, one damp and one dry. For the inside they look pretty good. I might go over them a couple of times and usually pretty clean after.
