Are the streaks on the inside of the passenger & drivers windows????

What are you using as an applicator? I use Windex for Automobiles (ammonia free) and the Orange microfiber cloths from Target in the automotive dept. I used to get streaks with paper towels, not with the micro fiber cloths, make sure after you wipe the cleaner on you buff it out.

If you add one cleaner after another you end up with a concoction of products on the window. Its like mud.

Once I washed the windshield. Looked pretty good. Then I went over it with coat of Black Magic wax and white towel. I was amazed how much dirt came off on the white towel.

well when i wash the car i wash the windows also, then rinse them off. i always use microfiber towels not matter what i apply to the window, and its on all my windows

you should only use new microfiber rags and only use them for your windows.dont wash them with the rags you use with other stuff.

so the streaks are on the outside of your windows?

Here are some of my tips. Make sure you work in the shade and glass is completely cool. Don't overly saturate the cleaning cloth. Use at least 2 - 3 towels. One to clean with and a second or third to buff off the residue. For more tips I highly recommend you check out our detailing guide - glass care section.
