I've been using Eagle 20/20 glass cleaner on my exterior glass since about 2001 I believe. Does anyone have experience with Eagle 20/20 and other products. Is it worth switching to a higher end product? Im mostly concerned about water beading and coming off my windshield - Ive been happy with the combo of Eagle 20/20 and my rain-x washer fluid, but always looking to fix what doesnt need fixing :)

On the interior windows, I usually just use Stoner, or sometimes Hopes Perfect Glass.

Any thoughts/recommendations are appreciated. This is for a daily driver.
 
My recommendation would be to stick with your established method the reason why is cause you wont feel you achieved the desired results with another product
 
Thanks, James. Those are my thoughts, but im always open to new options.
 
I was happy with Stoners until I tried 1Z glass cleaner. The 1Z is a better cleaner. Comes concentrated, dilute with distilled water 1 to 1.
 
I have used eagle 20/20 in the past. And was not impressed. I have also used 1z and really liked it until I finally tried Meguairs D120. It dilutes 10:1. I will never buy another glass cleaner. I now have 11 gallon. That should last me a few decades
 
^^ Agreed. Megs does a good job & the price is right. But if you like Eagle, stick with it & leave well enough alone.
 
stoner IG works very well and being available OTC is a plus. the megs concentrate also works well but since i mainly use glass cleaner on the inside windows (just use a qd and/or spray wax when wiping down the paint) for the exterior, that would last me forever and i don't like to sit on product...

Same goes here I have two AF Crytal 250ml bottles and I am not even half way through one of them and I got it in September :eek:
 
Thanks, everyone. I might pick up a bottle of 1Z to give it a try
 
I really like Stoner's, especially on the inside of the front windshield.

When Meguiar's came out with their "Perfect Clarity Glass Cleaner," I gave that a try...worked as advertised. But, on that infamous inside of the windshield...well, Stoner's wins hands down.

Little side note, I have noticed that different glass cleaners seem to work better for some and worse for others. Same as they work better on some surfaces and not so on others. Go figure.

I've been feeding of a gallon of Blue Corals "HyperSheen" concentrate for almost 15 years now. The results are excellent, and 1/4 oz of product dilutes to a 32 oz spray bottle!
 
I think the best thing to use on the inside of the window is a Fast Glass towel with DI water. Unless someone is smoking cigars with the windows up - the inside of the window will be cleaned well with this combo.

Also, there are no chemicals to leave streaks, no chemicals to buy, and no chemicals to get on other parts of the interior - just DI water which won't cause an issue or leave marks.

The best thing I've found for outside windows with serious bugs or dirt on them is Pinnacle Glass Cleaner.

Very similar to tires. Some dressings work well on some tires and not on others. I don't understand why so on glass, as the glass does not absorb the product like tires do. Like you said, "go figure".

If you have been using 20/20 all these years with satisfactory results, might as well keep on using it until it would become unavailable. After all:
-Like so many auto-glass cleaners...(including some "high end" auto-glass cleaners)...It contains some IPA.

-And...(Yay!)...It has no Butyl CELLOSOLVE™ solvent content!

To make another example...Some years back (probably 10 or so), Picked up a BIG bottle of "Armor-All Auto Glass Cleaner" (yea, still have some left). This stuff was an absolutely disaster (for me), BUT it works like a champ on eye glasses!

Little spritz, wipe 'em off...good to go. Maybe 'cause the lens are polycarb vice real glass?

Again, another 'go figure' moment.
