Stoner Invisible Glass?
Will it change my life? I have cleaned my glass using water, vinegar, Windex, Armor All for Glass, pre-treated wipes, and host of other products. I typically use a microfiber wipe (for glass) and every time I get the glass really clean but it's got streaks all over it and looks yucky (when the light catches it just right - or wrong, I suppose). I have heard about Invisible Glass and apparently it is a quite exceptional. Sounds easy to use (spray, wait, buff). Will this product result in a streak free shine - even for me? What are your experiences with it? Thanks for your help.

Invisible Glass works fine for me but actually so do all those other products, not sure why you are having so much trouble. Most professional cleaners will tell you when wiping glass clean you should just use regular newspaper nothing else, not cotton, not microfibre just a regular newspaper. Try it and see what happens, but try it with one of the other cleaners you have before spending the money on Invisible Glass you just might save yourself some money.

It's the best I've used, but I'm not a detailing freak.

The problem with modern newsprint,is that the ink can come "live" and stain the glass.

i uses newspaper. we have stacks of un printed stuff in the mail room for padding in boxes. it's dirt cheap and works great. you might be able to get some at a shipping place. i just get it from the mail room at work. i also use the stoner stuff on the outside. i bought it because it says tint-safe. i'm not sure it is so i only use it on the outside.

I'd been using the Stoner glass cleaner with good results. However, I recently switched to the Meguiar's NXT Glass Cleaner and find it to be even better at keeping the windows clean. (just my $0.02)

I've used Stoner Invisible Glass for quite a while and it works great. It isn't just the product though. In order to get the streaks out of your glass, you need the product of course, a clean soft cotton cloth that does not have fabric softener in it from the wash, and a microfiber cloth. Many paper products such as paper towels have chemicals in them to increase absorption. These streak.
Spray, wipe clean and almost dry with the cotton cloth then polish with the microfiber. The first couple of times, you may need to do it a couple of times to get the upholstery outgas off, but once they are clean, a quick once over does wonders.
Motor on.

I have used stoner for 2 1/2 years and am still on my original reservoir of washer fluid. I have always been satisfied with the results. Sometimes you have to apply twice to get all the bugs and grime off. It repels water fairly well or is it the MINI wiper blades?  - Dan
