    Re: Window cleaning question

    The grab comes from material choice. I never use a glass cleaner, other than denatured alcohol mixed down with water if I need to cut glass. Water is all I use, maybe a watered down ONR solution....but if you use a towel with a low nap, like a microfiber glass towel then that's my wet towel, just damp really, I then use a plush Korean made microfiber for final wipe and buff. My other method is a wet application while using a silicone squeegee to wipe away excess moisture, then buff dry.

    Re: Window cleaning question

    Try some different towel choice or hit it with some spray wax.

    Spray wax on exterior sure but not on interior glass.

    Re: Window cleaning question

    I will revisit that squeegee method and dig my cotton towels out of their bin. Now that the humidity has subsided a bit here I expect to get much better results than I did in the summer.

    Re: Window cleaning question

    So a cotton or terry towel would be a better choice then a mf or waffle weave?

    Re: Window cleaning question

    I have both. My plan is to initially clean with the microfiber and follow up with the cotton if I’m still getting streaks I’ll do this as I wait for my zap cloths and glass PFMs. One of these combinations ought to yield the desired result.

    Works good on interior glass.

    Re: Window cleaning question

    So, I also have tried everything and most the time my windows come out great but lately I have had major issues! Pretty sure I lost a good customer over it. The window would look super clean then I would walk away and come back and it would be messed up again! I am pretty sure it was his tint but I could not get him to understand that! =/ I typically use a magic eraser and then go over it with damp cloth then follow up with a spray wax detailer. More often then not my windows are spotless!

    Re: Window cleaning question

    The tinted windows are easy to clean it’s the front window that’s the problem every single rag I’ve used grabs, the edge less 500 rag is terrible and to fluffy, the carpro glass cleaning towel isn’t that good either, the zap cloth is decent.
