interior windshield glass cleaner product?

Hi guys,

do you know any great product for INTERIOR windshield glass cleaner for my MINI?

I sprayed "method" all purpose cleaner last weekend and it leaves the wipes print on my windshield which looks ugly.

thank you.


Does Rain X works for interior windshield?

I use Stoner's & one of the Detailers Paradise (glass) microfiber towels. They are great, & leave no lint. I do use Clarity on the outside.

I don't know about Wally World. I won't set foot in their stores. I've never seen it at Targee`.

Stoner's is available at Advanced Auto Parts, Auto Zone & Pep Boys. I'm sure may other places carry it too.

The glass microfibers are also available from Griots.

If you have aftermarket window tint avoid any cleaner with ammonia. It can melt the tint.

90% of window cleaning is the cloth. Try www.DetailersParadise.com for their glass cleaning cloth and and Clarity. They have a bundled price which is a very good deal. Windex sux - cloth or not. And don't even go near the topic of newsprint, that is so old school.

I use Perfect Glass. You can find it hanging in the aisles at Bed Bath and Beyond..
I've used dozens of different brands, but go back to Perfect Glass every time (great for tinted windows too, no ammonia). Second would be Stoners, but I don't like the foamy stuff and the smell isn't that great. Zaino has a good glass cleaner, but it's kind of a hassle to get ahold of compared to off the shelf stuff.
While your at BBB grab a stack of Microfibers for the glass. Keep them as your glass micros. They don't have to be as nice as the ones for the paint.
The nice thing about the microfibers is that you use much less glass cleaner and then you won't get those drips on your dash. If you are prone to drips, then just throw a couple micros on the dash before spraying the glass cleaner.
Oh and I agree with minimaybe... no newsprint. That was what they used in the Depression... because they were BROKE!

I've used all the above cleaners with good results. The trick is in the cloth you use. As mentioned, use a microfiber towel.

I'm going to try this one, http://www.aubrey-organics.com/produ...t_id=651&cat=7 cause it sounds like good stuff and not chemically - will try to remember to post how it is

Edit: On tinted windows I use Plexus or this other stuff I have specifically for tint.
