Is waffle style microfiber cloth the best way to clean window glass?

Oh boy, everybody has their personal preferences. I personally have never found the "perfect" glass towel. Waffle weaves are very good though. One thing to keep in mind is try not to "dry wipe" the window, as the drag on the towel will pull some microfibers out of almost any towel style.

Back in the day a lot of people used a "Huck" towel, which was a style towel that was supposedly used in hospitals ("Huck surgical towel"). It was kind of like a restaurant linen napkin. Many detailing supply houses would sell them, not sure if you can even find them today. Anyway that had good "bite" and wasn't supposed to leave any lint.

I like the twist loop weave for glass. Regular all purpose microfiber works good too. Better then newspaper

I have the ZAP CLOTH ready to try. Reviews are off the chart.

This happens to me all the time. Drives me crazy. Thanks for pointing it out. Going to try to leave it a little less dry next time and see if I can avoid water/chemical/mineral/whatever stains, streaks and lint.

I use waffle weave MF clothes to dry the windows. I like using the GG PFM glass towels recently (and a copy available at AZ) and a whole bunch of different satin MF glass towels to clean the dirt off first. I've got a bunch with a diamond shape pattern on them that have a good bite to them. I use that Stoners glass cleaning tool with the bonnets made of that same satin MF material for the windshield. You used to be able to find 3-packs of those bonnets at stores, but I haven't seen any in a long time. Glad I bought a bunch of them when they where available.

I keep about 5 different glass cleaners and the McKee's 20/20 on hand to handle any type of grime. And I've always have a few WW to choose from if needed.

I hate windows, but I don't have as many problems as many people seem to have.

•For me:
Waffle Weave MF-Towels suits
that purpose to a tee!

Waffle weave microfiber towels are still a great way to keep windows clean. I use them, but primarily have switched over to these dedicated glass towels from Griots...

Can't go wrong with either option imho.

Zap Cloth is a superb product and it cleans without the use of chemicals. Sometimes I will finish the glass with a waffle weave immediately after the Zap Cloth. No streaks and no smears.

Definitely a waffle weave for the final wipe on glass.

While I’d probably recommend waffle weaves in general, I think it also can depend on what you use to clean the glass.

I usually use a towel soaked in ONR and wrung out very tightly, followed by a waffle weave to dry, which works great.

However, if I’m using something like UWW+, I can get away with just using a regular towel because it leaves the surface so slick, which is something ONR has never really done for me.

If I was going to use a dedicated glass cleaner, I’d definitely just use waffle weaves.
