Effective glass cleaning

[Fun Bus]

If it's one thing in my regime I never get quite right it's the windows. I currently use AG 'Fast Glass' and have used with both microfibre cloth and the usual cotton polishing cloth. Both result in badly polished windows. My bottle of fast glass is nearly empty so am looking for both recommendations on products and methods of cleaning glass effectively.

Thanks in advance.

Cut a scouring pad in half and dip it in 1/2 vinegar, 1/2 washing up liquid then scrub the entire glass......
Remove excess suds with a damp warm microfibre, rinsing it out in hot water as you go....
When almost dry, grab a sheet of newspaper and scrunch it into a tiny ball, repeating if necessary making it soft to the touch....
Buff the glass, remembering to drop the windows a touch to do the tops, and check your work from different angles to ensure it is streak free before moving on.

Used one or a new one? Wouldn't a new "greenie" scratch the glass?

Neither will scratch glass.

I use Meguiars NXT Glass Cleaner. Best glass product I have come across so far. couple of squrts on a microfiber cloth and it cuts through grime on the windows.

I use normal glass cleaner.. One microfibre to wash with and then another one afterwards to buff off, if you don't use the second cloth you get smears on the windows.

You only need one cloth with the Meguiars. Only once have I seen it smear but that was someone overloading the cloth.

Keep away from Vinegar. It kills your rubber seals and washing up liquid on your car, windows or not is also a no go, In my opinion.

Autoglyms glass cleaner is not bad at all. We spray it on, wipe with a microfibre cloth then polishing using a woffle microfibre its actually a DoDo Juice Mint Merkin Microfibre cloth.

Hope that helps.

Remember I said you rinse as you go, so theres no issue.
