From a great deal of reading here it seems that Stoner Invisible Glass is the best product to clean the glass in my new Kia Optima...and at $5.99 here I don't think the price can be beat.

My question is: what is the best way to use this window cleaner? Microfiber cloth?

Thank you for your help and patience as I (after driving for 27 years) finally learn how to properly take care of my car!!!

Sprayway Glass Cleaner is $3.99 and it is what I use now. Very easy to use. Spray on MF towel, wipe windows, flip towel to dry side and buff lightly.
 
i'm a little embarrassed to say this but i sometimes use old news papers... it's not supposed to streak... so far so good... but they sale microfiber window cloths on autogeek, so you'll probably get alot of suggestions for those!

I don't think its anything to be embarrassed about. I compared using a MF and a newspaper myself. The only difference I found was the MF was cleaner on my hands, but a little more work to get rid of streaks than the newspaper

If it works for you, keep on using that technique! I don't see it before harmful to the glass. So why not use it?
 
I've used newspapers before--I think using dedicated glass microfibers (the ones with no nap) work better for me. Also, using more than one towel (I usually use three) helps to minimize my streaking.
 
Another newspaper user here.

Final wipe with a 'tea towel', they're soft and absorbent.

As they say, "Works for me."

glass microfiber. I still have some cans of IG left but at $5.99 a can it is the most expensive glass cleaner (per oz.) that I have seen out there. The product is excellent by the way, better than Sprayway IMO.
 
im almost embarrased to admit that i grabbed the stoners microfibre glass wand this weekend at walmart to do my truck windshield. i must say, ive never had a cleaner windshield with less effort. i used wellworth glass cleaner and the yellow microfibre bonnet and would highly recomend the combo.
 
Hands down the blue glass cleaning towels you see at gas filling stations...can be bought from local janitor supply houses.

Spray cleaner on glass, then on towels, then wipe window clean. Then use dry blue towels for drying the window to a streak free finish.
 
i just ordered a dozen huck towels to try on glass. from what I've read they seem to work well and no lint.
 
I have this product w/ rain repelant and really like it but with how much sealant I've got the windows, its tend to smear a bit but its quickly fixed with a little extra wipe:props:

Wellworth glass cleaner? Where did you get that from? The dealership I used to work for got a lot of products from them. They have one of the best multi-purpose glass cleaners around. I ordered a case of their glass cleaner a while back.

i ordered it from a detail supply shop near my house in Canada. not sure if AG carries the wellworth line.

pm me and i can give you the site. it isn't proper to post the site here IMO.

Just for a bit of clarification, NOT the Scott's Blue paper towels that are on a roll.

I had/have forgotten completely about the "fillin' station" towels. Thanx for the reminder.

I used Stoner's for years. Although it was a bit expensive, it worked well and having a clear windshield was worth the money.

Regardless of what solution you use, clean towels are paramount to success. Another thing to watch for is not over saturate the glass or towel. Using the right amount will allot the contamination to dissolve and be drawn into the towel. Once the towel becomes saturated it merely spreads the dirty around and when it dries it streaks...

  • Light mist
  • Wash towel
  • Drying towel
 
Used Invisible Glass for years. I've used newspaper (only on the exterior - NOT on tint!) but my favorite is the yellow MF towel that comes in the Meguiars clay bar kit. Seems to have just the right nap for cleaning and leaving a streak-free finish. It's also a fairly long towel so instead of just 4 sides, I get 6 clean sides out of it.

I just received a gallon of Meguiars Glass Cleaner Concentrate and am completely amazed at how well it works. Cleaned my patio door glass, effortlessly without a single streak. I tried making it streak and it wouldn't. $20 for a gallon of concentrate which makes 11 gallons of cleaner means I'm saving a lot of money over the long haul.
 
I thought I read that Kevin Brown painfully uses terry cloths for washing windows. I washed and dried my bulk Costco terry cloths several times to get the lint out and I use a new towel for each side of the rig. I use a dry towel for final "buff" and have streak free windows.
