Default Clean windshield !!

Just to let you guys know about a great window cleaner i used today, its called Glass Foam cleaner from Rain-X . I bought it or 4 dollars at wal-mart and it works great. It comes with a microfiber cloth. I've tried all kinds of cleaners and they all leave streaks of some sort. Especially where i live , the water is very harsh and leaves water spots that are hard to remove. I know everyone loves a clean looking Scion.

if you've ever got problems with water spots, use .05 molar acetic acid on a napkin and rub it on the window. it'll take the water spots right off. :D

don't windex when the sun is beating on your car...it'll evaporate real fast. Also, I used some wildberry windex on the inside of my car once...made my car stink bad (heat/windex didn't mix well)

You can use just a damp microfiber cloth and clean the inside of the windshield - no Windex needed.

well if your going straight chemicals, 2M NaOH works best! Takes everything off the glass, literally. And still safe it touches plastic and metal.

2M NaOH in my cupboard right now! But yes I'm probably the only person here with that in my cupboard. Still the best if you have access to straight chemicals.

lol... nothing beats water and vinegar as far as cleaning windows its a old wives remidy and its works... it doesn't streak and its jsut about as good as good gone so dont use it if you have stickers on ur windows.
