I've been looking at reviews & comments & both Meguiar's G8224 spray glass cleaner & Stoner Invisible Glass spray glass cleaner appear to be pretty good. Is there any consensus of opinion which one to use?
I know exactly what you are saying but this is a function of inexpensive microfiber. I've used them and still use them for certain things but not very often. You can can good MF glass towels which have almost no nap to them, which is what you want for glass. If you don't mind spending a little bit of money (it will be addictive), I'd recommend checking out The Rag Company for some good MF. If you pick something up, get an Eagle Edgeless towel and you will see that good MF does not let debris stick to it.@ tcope: The only risk with micro fiber is its second to velcro when it comes to junk sticking to it which will scratch tint in a heartbeat if you aren't meticulous caring for them, which I openly admit I was not. I once had eTowel rags which worked better but caved to the convenience of lint free paper towels.
I too noticed that news paper changed over the years. You can hardly read a paper today without getting ink stains on your hands and clothes.
But I've also noticed over the years the interior glass seems to be treated with something that is like a thin layer of saran wrap that grabs onto wiping clothes and paper. Do you or anyone else know if the surface of the glass is treated with something.
Yup, that is where I might use a cheap MF. Outside of the windows will just be glass so no harm will come to them. Walmart has a deal on MF towels every once in awhile, I think 50 for something like $20. I really try to reuse things but at that price they are easy to throw away if needed (I usually use them and then "downgrade" them if needed but at $.50 each, they don't have far to fall before they are at the end of their life).The car is garage kept & doesn't need a washing, but the outside of the windshield has a few specs and/or bugs. Not a lot, but I'd rather not get that kind of stuff ground into a nice towel. Sometimes I clean with newspaper or a paper towel to get the heavy stuff off & then go over the glass with a microfiber towel.
I may be biased but I agree with THIS guy. 😁It's more about the technic then it is about what you use. Using 2 lint free microfiber towels that are designed for windows works best.
I have used just about every brand out there and they all work ok and some much better then others. I don't see any reason to spend crazy money on high end cleaner especially if you have poor technic to clean windows.
Junkmann2008 makes some good points here and if you have trouble cleaning windows you should watch his videos.
Did you join the forum just to post links to your blogs? You seriously ain't fooling anyone. 🙄I really like the glass cleaner from sudzbox called orchid.<known spammer link removed (banned)>
