window cleaner?

ok ive tried so many window cleaners and they all turn up like sh*t... anyone know of any good window stuff that does not leave any wipe marks/streaks? seems like no matter what i use it leaves streaks....especailly the back window... any tips too you guys do the wax on wax off method (circles) or just up and down? lol thanx

and whenver i take my time to wash and wax my car which is anywehre from a 1-2 hr job... then next morning i always find a nice spot of birdie dookie somehwere ...it sucks and it happens every time too ... i guess i should buy a cleaning cloth or something to remove that right instead of like cleaning that whole spot over again? i think im turning into a complusive cleaner

stoner glass cleaner = teh shiz.

and the towels used actually make the biggest difference, trust me. the stiffer/ more porous ones work better.

yeah.. with the windows I use newpaper and make sure you clean inside and out.. duh..
Especially if you drive with the windows down, that back glass is filthy and the small rear door windows get just as bad. Just sit/laydown and work on it, Find a comfortable position cause youll be there for like 10 minutes trying to get those hard to reach spots. But once Im done its amazing, last week my friend just tried to reach throught the glass to grab something off the seat. It was funny as crap but then I had to go redo the window real quick causee Im a window *****

+ another vote for Invisible Glass. Sprays on as a foam. For hard water spots, try a little vinegar on a rag. Takes the hard water spots off my shower doors better than just about anything. Then clean with the Invisible Glass stuff.

http://www.calcarcover.com/product.aspx?id=31&s=on <--- this stuff kicks ***. and it's amonia free so you can use it inside or outside...

| That's a good point.

Any suggestions for dashboard cleaning?

I drive with my window's down so i'm used to cleaning them all the time... It's worth sitting back and putting time into your car, because when you're done it looks nice and clean... A drive later you gotta do it all over again

I've been using a Mitsubishi interior cleaning spray (it came in a gift 3-pack from the dealer w. clas and upholstery cleaner). I'm amazed at how good it is. It leaves a nice flat, clean finish on the dash - not all greasy like others.
