    Best Glass Cleaner ?

    Since I am new to most of this stuff please bear with me. I recently bought some plush MF and glass cleaning MF from AG. Using the plush towel after drying off my truck (wringing it out) wiped down the glass and dried/polished it with the glass waffle weave. WOW ! It was almost invisible. Ran up and did the picture windows of the house inside and out, same result ! So the question is : Does anybody use just plain or distilled water with the waffle glass MF or do you still use a "glass cleaner" ?

    Cheers

    Re: Best Glass Cleaner ?

    Depends on how bad the glass is. I use Stoners Invisible Glass, Surf City glass cleaner, and a home brew of denatured alcohol, vinegar, and distilled water. You'll probably get alot of different opinions on what's best, many prefer Sprayway. As for your MFs - wash the glass towels separately from the others so they don't get contaminated with polishe, waxes, QDs, etc.

    Just glass cleaner and the glass WW here.

    I agree with PTRon on washing glass towels separately.

    For an OTC product, I like Stoners in the pump bottle or Hopes Perfect Glass.

    And I agree also, wash your MF's separate.

    If you want a very cheap but very effective glass cleaner, I have been told ONR at QD strength with a small amount of denatured alcohol (I assume ISA will work) is great at cleaning glass.

    Never added the IPA but ONR at just QD strength is a pretty damn good glass cleaner - it also makes for a fantastic interior QD for trim (dash, door panels etc)

    Best Glass Cleaner on AG is Surf City.. Hands down in my book!

    I thought the same thing about ONR as a glass cleaner but if it does not remove wax, etc, then it seems learly is limited to what it can clean. ONR does not seem to do well on greasy stains like on stuff that gets on wheels.

    Hopes Perfect Glass here too. Works great, excellent price, and I can pick it up at Lowes or Home Depot.
