For all of you who do multiple cars and your own, what's some good tricks/tools/techniques that you use to clean the interior of windows streak free? Especially inside of front/rear windshields. It's so hard to reach everything and to not cause streaking.
 
I use IG or FK425 for the inside glass. Both are streak-free. Somtimes it requires a couple of passes if they're very dirty. I use a MF towel and just contort myself as much as possible to reach hard to get areas.
 
Yea, I currently use NXT Glass cleaner with MF towels. I actually use one for wiping and cleaning and then switched to a completely dry one immediately to wipe off any excess or residue.

Any one use in kind of glaze or wax substance on the inside of windows? Such as AIO? I've never used it, but I would think this is virtually streak free... just let it haze and wipe off?:confused:
 
I use Stoners IG or DP Krystal Vision. It can be difficult sometimes (often) to get the inside clean becuase it's hard to reach. I use one of these and it really helps!

Reddwarf - That thing looks awesome. Do you feel it works as well as if you were to do it by hand?

The pointy bit enables me to get in the corners. It is a big help with the back window as that is ackward to get to.
 
I use IP. I wipe with paper towel leave wet. Then squeegee. Then I buff any remaining with a MF. Windshields just take a lot of time to do.
 
I just started using DP Krystal Vision with a Cobra glass towel. I was previously using IG with a MF. The DP was the first cleaner that was able to completely get all the haze out of my windows. It is definitely some amazing stuff.
 
the new glass waffle weave towels certainly help , some better glass cleaners (Stoners, Sprayway, DP) also do a great job. Tedious overlapping is needed and do not overuse the spray cleaner, a little goes along way.

It hasnt streaked on my car yet! My windows arent tinted... I bake like a cake here in the summer :(
 
I do a lot of windows with my business, so maybe this info will help. I use stoners pump spray glass cleaner. I spray it onto the MF and start on one window at a time. I go around all of the edge, and then wipe in an up and down motion. Hope this helps!

A good glass cleaner (DP Krystal Vision), and Cobra glass MF towel.
You will get the best results from this combo.
 
I would have to say that I've never seen Windex streak, although I wouldn't recommend it for the car as it is not safe for tint, plus it has a strong odor. Another good one I've tried is Eagle One 20/20 besides Stoners Invisible Glass. I haven't used the DP Krystal Vision but have heard GREAT things and will likely order soon. Definitely get you one of these:
