I just can't do it. I clean and clean and clean and still I have streak marks on the windshield. I have the same problems when cleaning windows at home, they look clean until the sun hits them the right way then (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) My eyes must be really bad because it looks like my 4yr old clean them. I use windex and paper towel. So what do you guys do / use?
Help :sniff: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

I use an extremely weak solution of dishwashing liquid and water. When cleaning, one surface(i.e. inside) is cleaned and wiped vertically, and the other surface(outside) is cleaned horizontally. When you clean that way, you can then tell which side you have to do over by which way the glass is "streaked". I'm sure there are other solutions(pun not intended), that may involve ammonia, vinegar or some commercially marketed product. But the small amount of detergent in a big, clean bucket of water works for me. BTW, the "fog", "haze", or "film" on your glass always comes back, no matter how old the car is, its country of origin or manufacturer.
