As title says, anybody know a good glass cleaner/polish. Everything I use leaves a streak once the sun hits the glass. Looks good until its sunny.
-
What are using in terms of cloth? A proper glass cleaning cloth won't leave streaks.
I don't like the one from halfrauds except for general cleaning eg just giving a quick wipe.

....Please educate some of us about which are the proper cloths. Thanks :happy2:

use a proper glass microfibre one.
ive recently bought Lusso Glass Polish and it does the job nicely.
also friendly to film tinted glass which is just what i was looking for.,

What happened to good old newspaper? It's always served me well :smiley:
-
Mr muscle & good old news paper. :wink:

^^^^
Doesn't newspaper deposit printing ink on the glass?
Or does it depend whether it's The Sun or The Guardian? :evilgrin: [I only collect Page Three so I can clean my windscreen?]

Dont you feel like a tit doing that Robin :signLOL:
Newspaper is meant to be good as the carbon in the print is meant to leave a nice shine to the glass.
A glass cloth is a very fine microfibre cloth but ive found a normal microfibre does just a good job.
On my glass I just go over it with quick detailer when im doing my paint but every so often I give it a polish with AG glass polish. On the interior I use Stoners Invisible glass and it is very very good and leaves no streaks at all.

As stated by B3n, these are very fine microfibre cloths. If you could describe a normal mF cloth as "bushy", you would describe a fine one as "prickly".
I use the standard halfrauds one (with netting on one side) if I'm out and about. The other thing with glass cleaners is not to apply too much product.

Comercially available - Autoglym Fast glass gave me results i was always pleased with but at about £7 a bottle it got costly
Trade - Nielsen Blue Window Clean is awesome only costs about £15 for 5ltrs and it cleans really well, it also gave me a slight rain-x protection.
-
i use meguirs glass cleaner concentrate..leaves no streak at all
-
I use AG Glass polish and a optic cloth off AS.Normal microfiber cloths leave the fibers on the glass!!!
-
auto glym fast glass, and a glass cleaning micro fibre.. perfect finish everytime :happy2:
-
I use Fast Glass, too. As for cloths, pah, I use good old kitchen roll!
-
for aplication I find kitchen roll is ideal
then a wipe with a microfibre to remove any residue/streaking :happy2:
Also, rainX do a nice combined 'cleaner/rain repellent' which is v.good this time of year

Dilute screen wash followed by Megs Last Touch, buffed off with a good quality MF cloth :happy2:
