Default Windshield cleaning

You folks find a way to keep the windshield clean yet? I just washed my car and the window looks like I just drove the Baja 500! Any cleaning chemichal I use, to include plain ol' water just does not work. Very frustration making!

Well, Try using Invisible Glass. That stuff is really good. My stay's clean for a while.

I used Zainos to clean the windshield and then use invisible glass to finish it up

I've used tons of window cleaning products and after using a damp microfiber followed by a dry one, I'll never buy another.

Corn starch is another traditional stand-by for cleaning windows and glass. It leaves them streak-free and shiny. To make your own, combine 1/8 cup cornstarch with 16 oz. warm water in a plastic container. Mix well and apply to windows with a clean sponge. Wipe dry with absorbent towels.

This window cleaner works well for dirty car windows or any other exterior windows. A larger batch can be made by doubling or tripling the quantities. Make sure to never wash windows with this solution while the sun is shining on them directly. This causes the cleaner to dry too quickly and unsightly streaks may appear.

I guess it depends on how dirty your windows are and same for your microfiber. I don't have that issue

I have never heard of this ever, but there's a first for everything, right?
