Default What yall use to clean the windows with?

Yeah just ilke the title has it, I was wondering what everyone here uses to clean their windows with, I've notice alot of what things they use to clean the car but not enough of what they use to clean their windows, I got this can of Eagle One 20/20 aerosol glass cleaner, havnt used it yet but have use similar products like it, hope this one works wonders, the inside of my windshield is grimmy, i used some alchoal inside and it just smeared it so i learned to not get cheap on it, specially when you drive at night, all you see is haize, no bueno. So lets hear wha yall use!!

I've always thought that too. I delivered newspapers for five years, and not only is the ink messy it's also permanent once it gets on clothing.

I use Eagle One 20/20 window cleaner in the plastic spritz bottle. It's a nice product since it's safe for tinted windows.

While I do know that newspapers are messy with ink from experience also, for whatever reason when you use them in this case they don't leave the ink all over the place. I use newspapers and windex. Windex works great, considering they have entire lines of glass cleaners I trust them more.

Yeah, I usually do a little bit just to get it kinda in a ball. Paper towels tend to streak more, and cloth leaves lint. Newspaper works PERFECTLY.

I use rubbing alcohal and newspaper. There's something in the ink and type of paper used to make the newspaper clean beter. I had a friend in high school do his science project on it and it proved to be the best. That was a LONG time ago though.

black and white works best i guess. Oh yes and you should crumble it up first. Newspaper has very good absorbing properties and doesnt leave streaks and residue behind like paper towels do sometime.
