    Default Out Damn Spot! (Window Cleaning)

    I can't get the inside windshield on the '99 clean.... Seems to be clean for a day or two then it magically streaks all up again??

    What do you guys use??

    Are you using something on the dash ? (like Armor All or the like) Some of those products will create fumes and end up streaking your window on the inside.

    Could be the natural "gassing" of the plastic dash.

    A dry towel and a lot of hard scrubbing usually works pretty well.

    That's the only thing that works for me. The Invisible Glass (I think that's the name, ask me when i'm in the garage) helps considerably, but it still needs the hard rub with a dry towel on the inside.

    With a vote of confidence from a friend/detailer, I started using Eagle One 20/20 for the glass on my cars a couple of years ago.

    Before that, a good 1:1 mix of vinegar & water did well for me.

    You know that previous owner did a lot of detail work. I bet he used ArmorAll before he gave away the car. I say he gave it away after what I heard Jon got for his crashed car.
