Default Window Cleaner

Guys, was just wandering what you use as a glass cleaner??? I'm looking for something that beads the water off your windows effectively. Thanks.

Clean them with Windex, then wax them -- outside not inside. That's what I do. The water beads up pretty good.

Nothing beats Stoners Invisible Glass.

Windex may be okay for the outside, but not the inside. It contains ammonia which can be harmful to plastic, vinyl and leather interior pieces.

I also use crumpled newspaper to wipe the windows. It leaves absolutely no lint or streaks behind.

I use Zaino Glass polish, works wonders in filling in the small chips and getting rid of the haze on the inside as well.

I clean the outside with car wash, same as the rest of the car...dry them good...and wax them just as I do the car...I use Zaino also, but just the Z-2 and Z-5...you can wax it with whatever you are doing your car with...the water rolls right off, almost no need for wipers on the highway

wash -> either stoners or wax.

I'm thinking the stoners will remove the wax if you apply it first. You can probably wax over top of the stoners without any problems.
