Cleaning Windows...better than RainX A neat little idea I got from someone at a carshow dealing with windows. Listed in the following steps:
1. Apply a generous amount of your favorite window cleaner to the window.
2. Use a fine mesh still wool wade and scrub the cleaner into the window.
3. Apply window cleaner again and wipe off with paper towel.
4. Apply liquid car wax to window and let dry to haze.
5. Buff off wax haze and your done.
Your windows will look brand new. The rain will run off better than if you used rainX. Better yet, you can use the windsheild wipers and the wax stays on longer than rainX.

Re: Cleaning Windows...better than RainX Instead of steel wool, try a claybar. Works great to get the window marker off, too <img src="graemlins/gr_xmas.gif" border="0" alt="[santa]" />

Re: Cleaning Windows...better than RainX Yeah, he is right! News paper is better then any papter towel for the windows. And for just 35 cents you get a month worth of paper supplies! <img src="gr_tounge.gif" border="0"> <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> <img src="graemlins/formula.gif" border="0" alt="[Pontiac]" />

Re: Cleaning Windows...better than RainX 1st step: Zaino window cleaner. Z12
2nd step: Z1
3rd step: Z2
4th step: Z6
After that just keep cleaning it with the Z6 and you willbe amazed how long the Zaino stays on the window. I only use the Z6 to clean my windows.
Note: Zaino now has a new product that make the 2nd and 3rd step into 1 step.

Re: Cleaning Windows...better than RainX I've been using a claybar and Z2 on my windshield for a while now and I'm still amazed at how the water runs off. And I live just north of Seattle...it's rains here everyday. <img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0"> <img src="graemlins/gr_judge.gif" border="0" alt="[judgement]" />
