Prima Clarity vs. Windex

What does Clarity do that's better than windex? I've been thinking about buying it, and would like to know how it compares to what I've been using.

Clarity - No streaks at all. Period. Nada. Zip.
I still think Windex is better on cuts and scrapes however.

Clarity actually gets your glass clean & streak free. I was quite shocked after using Clarity for the 1st time. I guess I have never seen glass that clean except for when it is brand new I have used Windex all my life but after using Clarity on my Mini I will never use Windex again (including on the windows, mirrors, & other glass surfaces in my house)

I had been using Stoner's invisible glass, which I liked MUCH MUCH more than Windex, and I have some clarity just waiting for me for when the weather breaks!!!!

The best way I can describe the difference is this: You know how when driving at night and an approaching vehicle's lights hit your windshield and you see a haze and glare on your glass ? With Clarity, you don't get that.

Toss the windex. Use Clarity for all your auto and home glass and mirror cleaning needs.

Heather, I think that ad, albeit 100% truthful, deserves another free Monster Fluffy !

Also, if you're talking about Windex with "Ammonia-D", then it's not safe to use on window tint, but Clarity is.

I'm in the same situation as WannaMini - I have a few cans of Stoner's left, and then I'm trying the Clarity. (and also like WannaMini, I *really* prefer the Stoner's over Windex).

I really love Clarity, and the benefit is even greater if you use the DP window MF. I washed Clara today for the first time in two weeks (*gasp*, I know...I've been down with a hip injury) and I never fail to be amazed at how the combo of Clarity and the MF makes the windows crystal-clear.

What's with the boxing emoticon ? You wanna fight with me, Missy ??

Hey now... you didn't recommend using Clarity for ALL household chores so you don't get a free Monster Fluffy !!

But yes, I'll agree with your last post and say that Clarity is great, but even better when teamed with the MF glass cleaning cloth. Like magic, it is !

OK that's different - sounded like you were getting paid in MFs to write glowing advertisements. Whew, breathe, breathe, calm, calm.

Well, I don't have any Clarity yet, but I just used my new DP glass microfiber cloth with the Stoner's Invisible Glass, and I have to say, the DP cloth works better than the glass cloth that Stoner's sent me with their glass cleaner. I'm very impressed. I'm thinking I should go ahead and order a few more DP glass cloths and some Clarity. If I like the Clarity better than the Stoner's, I can always relegate the Stoner's to inside-the-house glass cleaning.

CR&PW - Don't you just hate it when somebody interrupts a humorous flow and puts their own serious comment right in the middle.

Well, the monk question, the airplane question, and the bolts-in-the-bathtub question are my three favorites, so I'm trying to find another one to post.

I think I've found one...

Just a guess, but probably not in the detailing forum.

I realize this. It appears that quite a few people from this board are going, and I was hoping to at least get pointed in the right direction.
