Default Streak Free Windows! hooray!

after trying countless products, using household items (newspaper and vinegar my @$$) I've finally discovered the perfect streak free solution! it's Macguires Spray and Mist or whatever it's called. I kid you not. being a smoker I had that heavy film on my windows that almost doubled as tint, but the Mac cut right thru it and delivered a clean that's unreal. give it a shot.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I've been using "Invisible Glass" made by Stoner.

you guys might want to make a note of this, armor-all makes a product called "multi - purpuse cleaner", not the same as the regular cleaner, and very hard to find, but it will melt away tobacco residue and mildue from vinal and plastic surfaces, just make sure to dillude it if useing it on plastic.

my mom had a 68 furd torino coupe that was a heavy smokers car and had fermented in the sun for 4 years. everything inside was brown and sticky from all the tobacco, the armor all i mentioned above make the vinal & plastic bits look like brand new. i also used it on my buick, its really amazing stuff.

Eagle 20/20 and a microfiber cloth works very well for me. I don't smoke though.

Is this McGuires' stuff for windows or like a quick detailer?

I use Amour All glass cleaner, and newspaper to wipe it. It has done me good so far. Its almost out, so I think I'll try a new product.
