    Re: Window cleaning frustration

    I just use regular liquid laundry soap then some white vinegar in the rinse.

    Looks like this has been a chore for everyone!
    One last question what is the best product to wash these glass towels with when you put them in the wash?
    The Blackfire Microfiber detergent is great.
    Woosh is great too but only available in Canada..

    Micro Restore and Detailer's Pride will leave some residue.

    No fabric softeners of any kind should be used! Vinegar is okay.

    I am having frustration getting my windows clean without streaks.
    I use stoners glass cleaner with glass microfiber towels.
    I use one towel to clean, another to dry!
    I haven't washed the towles yet. They all are brand new.
    I have been washing windows every two week.
    I assume I need to wash glass towels from the other towels.
    Any suggestions? I am getting really frustrated.
    I just bought some Megs window cleaner concentrate
    I am thinking of using vinegar and water.
    Please help!
    I get mad when I take the car out and I see streaks when the windows are exposed to sunlight
    Thanks for the help
    Wash the mf frist.

    On the inside, I use Stoner's Invisible Glass and, the yellow MF towel that comes inside the Meguiar's clay bar kit. Clean small sections at a time, don't try to wipe the entire window down with big sweeping motions. Concentrate on a 16" x 16" area at a time, flipping the towel as you go to get a fresh side.

    I'd like to get the Invisible Glass windshield wand (whatever it's called) as I have a tough time getting the inside of the windshield perfect. I can't get my arm in a position where I can get optimal pressure and a consistent wiping motion.
    I have 2 of the Stoners Glassmasters. They work very well. I would try a spritz of distilled water first. Use pressure and you will know when you are done. The glass wont fight you anymore!
