dirty windows
i bought my camaro and the windows just looked dirty cleaned then in and out and didnt do anything. i even resorted to using a rim brush with soap and water still nothing. i know its on the outside becouse if you rub one spot with your finger long enough it goes away in that spot but takes way to long. any tips?

this is going to sound like a oxymoron me making this topic. my father owns a window cleaning business and in the back of his truck he has a water deionizer ( a big Mr.clean) so i know its not water marks. and i scrubbed and scrubbed i just don't know what to do.

Also, you might try using newspaper instead of a rag/papertowels/microfiber towels on your windows. I have yet to find a better way to clean windows. You can get clean newsprint stock at any Uhaul box store. It's what they sell as "wrapping paper" for moving boxes.

I'll third th newspaper idea, doesn't streak at all. I was having the same problem, and I got some NAPA glass cleaner with ammonia, works really well in taking off the water spots. Also, if you're not doing it, buy a squeegie (is that spelled right?) and use that on the windows instead of the old shamee (I don't think I spelled that right either, but you get the drift).
Edit: I was thinking about putting some Rain-X on the windows as a preventative measure to the hard water sports, I'm sure somebody on here has tried that, and can tell us if this is worth while?
