I've heard of people using windex and a newspaper but never tried that.. lol

I've been good with white foam glass cleaner and a 3 sections of paper towel per half of the windshield, and 2 on all other windows.

What do you all recommend to use on windows. I hate doing them and always get streaks inside and out. Also, I have tinted windows.View attachment 131412

Invisible glass and newspaper. The more ink on the pages the better the clean. Not paper towels or a cloth.

No luck with adams. Streaks everywhere, don't recommend using it.
I actually have the opposite experience. On the inside I use @AdamsPolishes glass cleaner on the inside, followed by brilliant glaze. On the outside I first claybar the glass with detail spray, then I follow up with glass cleaner.

If you use the Invisible glass foam it will stay on the windshield long enough to dissolve the bugs whereas if you use the spray it just runs to the bottom if the window. Also if you use a "waffle microfiber" to wipe the windows I think there is less chance of leaving streaks. Also like SoCal said, if you periodically clay bar your windshield it will keep it a lot cleaner/easier to clean.

Don’t use windex on tinted glass ( factory tint or aftermarket) the ammonia in the windex will damage the tint.

Newspaper will NOT clean a windshield, only deposit a light film of ink that gives it a nice sheen. Newspaper on windows and chrome is an ages old trick for show cars or prepping one for sale. I don't recommend driving into the sun after running newspaper on your windshield, it will glare like a mother...

Been using newspapers since I was 16. Drive in FL... never had this issue.

I too use Brilliant Glaze inside & out, it does a great job!
Thanks!!

So I learned a simple lesson today, use a waffle weave! I was like wtf, always used a microfiber in the past. Paid a visit to Chemical Guys today in Gardena. All I can say is OMG! I was like a fat kid in a candy store. But the waffle weave made a huge difference for me.

Ok, I'll bite. What's a "Waffle Weave"?
