Window Cleaner

Which window cleaners has everyone had the best luck with? I have used Killerwaxx and really liked it, but don't want to pay $15 for shipping again...

I've tried several including InvisiGlass and Adams but the best I've found is good ole ACDelco foam glass cleaner you get from the parts dept.

I like both Castle's Window Cleaner and Invisible Glass.

Very much prefer the aerosol spray cans, instead of the traditional sprayer.

Just use a quality glass cleaner (even Sprayway works well) a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser to scrub the glass and a good microfiber cloth that you use for glass AND NOTHING ELSE! You should be fine.

I use Invisible Glass, the Mr. Clean Eraser and microfibers and I get my windows ... even the windshield and back glass ... crystal clear.

Being a fan of Adam's Polishes, I follow their process using their cleaners, towels and Brilliant Glaze:

I found Safelite on Amazon about 3 years ago and have not used anything else.

If you want your glass completely clean and streak free, here are the steps. You don't need any fancy microfibers for this. I've tried many different cleaners, and with this method, it doesn't make any difference which one I use.

I have the Adams liquid spray glass cleaner and think it's great. For a more value oriented option I find Stoner's Invisible Glass works very well.

Put a small amount of baby shampoo in a bucket of hot water. Wipe your window down with a rag soaked in this and then wipe it dry with a shop towel. No streaks. Been doing this for years on all my vehicles with great results.
