Why can't I get my windows clean?

[yoyo1111]

For the life of me, I can't get my windows clean. I use Sprayaway glass cleaner. I use a waffle weave towel, then buff it with another waffle weave towel. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. They never come out clean. I've tried different towels, same results. Any suggestions? Thanks!

1. Use less product.
2. Work in the shade, out of direct sunlight.
3. Use perfectly clean towels that are only used for cleaning glass.
4. Wipe in different directions on the inside and outside so you know where the streaks are occurring if any are left.

Those are the rules I try to follow when cleaning glass and they always come out perfect. Granted, some of them take a little more effort than others... especially in hotter weather.

What do you mean by not clean? If you mean streaks, then spray a lot and clean the glass, then take the other towel and do 1 tiny spray on the glass and use that to buff off with.

If you mean dirt wise, well, idk.

I also use microfiber towel, not the waffle weave. I have had bad experiences with the waffle weave on my mirrors. Scratches..........

Plus, i kinda prefer using Microfiber towels over the waffle weave towel now.

Get a new glass cleaner. Try Stoners or Meguires.

If you want the best glass cleaner. Order diamondites glass cleaner here at autogeek. It is so good.

My dad swears by using newspapers with the glass cleaner instead of MFs... Anyone else try this?

When I was a kids many, many years ago, I was at a friends house and his parents wanted us to help clean the window on the house. His dad handed us glass clean and newspapers, I looked at him like what the @*%$, anyways did what we were told and I remember how well it worked. Maybe I'll start using newspapers to clean customers car's windows and blow their mind!!!

I also have trouble cleaning the window removing all the streaks, so don't feel bad. I've started using the wafer towel, and so far so good. Plus use less product.

I struggle with the inside of the front windshield. Even with a new MF, I can't seem to get it right. Are newspapers the trick for inside too?

In my research lab we use acetone to clean glassware after scrubbing with detergent. It always leaves them #### and span. Don't think it'd be the best idea for detailing though because it can oxidize some plastics and vinyls. Also I can only imagine what it would do to window tinting and laminates.
