3. Always Clean out Synthetic Leathers after every use
My Thoughts on Glass Cleaning. Do I think you should ditch glass cleaning forever? NO, But What I'm saying is you don't always need it in most cases. Only Cars with severely contaminated glass should be given that extra hit of glass cleaner.

I worked as a car valet for two main dealerships followed by several years self employed until I retired. I've used a variety of popular glass polishes with limited success, the main problem being dust...and streaks. I found the liquid household spray on types and kitchen roll an improvement, at least there's no dust. I bought a used 2012 Renault Megane from a local dealer 3 weeks ago, the windows had been cleaned...in a fashion, so I tried to improve them with the spray and paper towels, better but not good enough. Tried again last week, looked okay until the sun showed up the streaks. I watched your video, grabbed a bucket of clean water, a synthetic leather and microfibre cloth and got to work. Blimey mate, I've never made such a good job of cleaning glass in less than half the time. Brilliant, thanks for sharing. 🙂👍

As a towel I like to use old washed T-shirts (no softener in the wash, as said before). They are cheap, lint-free and it's better than just throwing them away.

A favourite cleaner for professional automotive glass replacement companies is " Nilglass" , combined with 10" 2 ply wiper rolls. Use of the wiper roll avoids cross contamination. If you struggle wiping the inside of the windscreen, open the door, stand outside the car and reach in to clean most of the interior. Cleaning in direct sunlight with glass cleaner, spray the cloth or roll, not the glass and apply immediately to the glass to get best result.

This is a great video. In addition to this simple process, if you have baked on bug guts on the windshield (not a problem in some areas, but here in the heat of Arizona, the filth is real!) using some steel wool is incredibly effective. When washing, use the steel wool after the glass is soaped up and wet. Keeping the glass wet is important so that the bug guts soften up a bit. ONLY use it on the glass, folks. Once the glass is properly clean, the final drying stage shown in this video will result in perfectly clear, streak free glass. I hope this helps.

Assuming the car is already washed, I use a squirt of my panel prep (25%IPA, 75% water) and a MF cloth. It's a quick and easy way to achieve a similar result and is great for cutting through that fog (I understand it's partly plastic ... uuurgh) that appears on the inside. It's not chemical free but it's easy and I threw my synthetic chamois away years ago, then regretted it when I first saw you show this method!

I have a 2023 Toyota Supre. The glass is difficult to get clean. So, I didn't use the synthetic leather but just a soaked towel. Then, I followed up with a dry towel. My windows have never looked better! I have been using microfiber cloths and they leave lint. However, they state there is no lint but there is. Now, the glass sparkles! Great video and no longer using window cleaner products. I did this technique in direct sunlight. No problem. Concering the windshile, I merely sit in the passenger seat for that side and then the driver's seat for that side.

Thanks for the tip dave, I’m gonna try this method out next time I clean my car! I have used a few glass cleaners like gliptone which is good and auto smart bulk glass cleaner then tried chemical guys total interior which says it’s ideal for interior glass, infontainment screens etc but still left smears. However I’m wondering if this is caused by using old / contaminated cloths?. Could blue paper towel be used on glass with the same effect?

Yes blue paper towels can work but those microscopic fibers will probably end up on the glass so it may look fluffy in places

I'm nearly there with what you've done, though I do use a squeegee to clear excess water. A towel, I use & it's a nice tip, it's always the inside that causes issues as I have glasses & if there a spec reflecting, it irritates my concentration. 😅

Simple, but best method. Still not mastered the inside windscreen yet, but practice makes progress 😂

My fave glass cleaner is cutting compound. Give the glass a good rub and let it dry, then polish it off.

Are there any alternatives to the Kent Synthetic Chamois in the link please? Can't seem to find it in the UK, no stock anywhere, just proves videos like this one work.

Thanks for the tip ive just ordered one. Im always up for trying new things. I normally use glass cleaner but this is worth a try. Would it be ok to use on the plastic tint they use for car windows

Yes works on plastic tint too 👌

As a kid i used to have to clean the massive shop window at the front of the building i worked at. Suprisingly enough the best and easiest way to clean it was with window cleaner and scrunched up news paper. Never any streaks.

Really interesting video Dave. I've been using Stoner InvisibleGlass for years,. One other secret I found is to use a Waffle Weave MF Towel. Clean and streak-free every time. I use this on the inside of the windows (include home windows), and the Rain-repellant version on the outside (give me nice water beading). Going to try your method though as this seems more cost effect, and it it works a well, then why not save some money :)

Nice one Kevin. I've always been confident in this method in all weather

Dave, this is a Q off-topic: I've made a terrible mistake. I've used a engine-bay cleaner (degreaser) on window frames in the slight hope of removing algae . Now, when I pull down my windows and pull them up again, there's a fatty like substance covering a corner of my glass. Would you tackle that with a non-diluted APC or what are your experience? Thanks for your inspiring videos. You are an amazing guy!
