Great tip Dad - been using a version of it for years. In one of my many travels, I picked up a super small squeegee (only about 4 inch blade) and use it along with the Stoner's on all the interior glass in my car - there is also a dry clenaer towel made by viyella for glass, whereby you don't use any cleaner at all - just the towel. There's some kinda magical juice impregnated in the fibres or some such,,,,,,

 

Have to try the squeegee thing...I hate cleaning the inside of the front windshield, but I hate dirty glass more.

Here's something I've been doing for years with good results: Instead of using paper towels, try crumpled up newspaper. No streaks, and dries faster that paper towels. I use Windex or Eagle One 20/20. A little newsprint comes off on your hands, so make sure to clean up before touching the interior (espcially those of you with light-colored leather).

Do NOT use newspaper on window tint film...it will scratch. For that, I use a silicone-based tint cleaner (Film Chem 2000 is one of them) and paper towels.

 

Hello...
I have used a small squeegee on the interior with decent results.
Further, I get decent results using (any brand) aresol-spray window cleaner with paper towels or newsprint.
The car is not smoked-in, so the only thing to remove is dust/smog
...and the occasional fingerprint.
(I hate it when people touch my windhshield! AARGH!)

I just replaced the windshield in my 2000 STS due to a crack-
...and I thought the windshield was clean BEFORE!
Now, NO chips, pits, or streaks (inside or out!)

However, I've already cleaned off the first bird-turd from the very first day of install-
...now that's what I call "Same Day Service!"

 

That's brilliant. The dishwasher stuff has something in it to prevent spotting. That would also prevent any kind of residue from being left behind. I'm going to try it next time I need to clean the inside.

HOF material! Congrats Dadillac!

Elvis, thank you. I feel honored. I really wish that folks would try this. It works excellent. Just don't go overboard on the solution. A little will go a long way.

I use Stoner Invisible Glass, we used this at our 36 detail shops for many years, this with a cheap microfiber towel for glass works great.

 

I use the methods posted by 2001blackdev. Newspaper works great on the outside, but you need a tint soultion for the interior if you have tint.


The interior squeegie sounds messy for a clutz like myself.

 

Hmmmmmmmm, I'll have to try the dishwasher solution. Makes sense to me. I've added water softener to my exterior wash solution for ease of reducing pesky spotting. But the interior glass has always been a bitch, I'll try it and hope that it works!

After trying it, please post back with the results. Good or bad.

Update:

I used an empty Windex bottle, cleaned it out, filled with water, put in two drops of dishwasher liquid, shook. Sprayed on windows, used a microfiber to wipe off, same results as using the squeegie method. Has less runoff this way. Zero streaking, and my windows were very bad. I haven't cleaned them in a while.

Interesting, I'll have to compare that to my secret formula, in a 32oz spray bottle put 4 oz of denatured alcohol, fill with dis-stilled water. Gary

 

I am a smoker and find any cleaner difficult to remove the smoke residue. I usually have to clean the glass three times to get it all off. Since using the dishwasher liquid, I get the glass clean on the first cleaning, as long as I do not miss any spots. The dishwasher liquid has the anti-streaking and anti-spotting agents in there. It does a kickass job.

I think Windex makes a version that's vinegar based. If not plenty of stores carry a generic version of window cleaner that is vinegar based.

I've noticed a lot less streaking with this stuff but I haven't tried it inside a car yet.

 

black and white section of the news paper and windex awesome comb!

 

I know someone who SWEARS UP AND DOWN that the foaming glass cleaner from the GM dealer is the best. And this is coming from a guy who always advises against buying stuff from the dealer. I haven't tried it yet but he gets it now from Pace Performance which is a little cheaper. I'm gonna try it for myself along with the GM tire cleaner that is satin finish instead of glossy. I don't like the super glossy look...and the GM version specifically says that its not glossy...shipment is on the way so we'll see.
