Cleaning windows or windshield spotless/smearless
Richard Cooper:
I am so frustrated having gotten the ladder out today and cleaned my coach windows and windshield only to discover this afternoon with the sun shining through that I did a terrible job. Smears, streaks. When I was cleaning it and no sun onto it (but a moderate wind to dry my effort) I thought for sure I had done a good job.
I used a soft clean cloth to dry with. I was using Zep Commercial brand "Streak-Free Glass Cleaner" which contains alcohol and amonia.
What is the technique of professionals to get a windshield clean as new? Side windows too?
Jerry Carr:
Hi Richard, I just use the bucket with car wash, rinse and dry with micro fiber, I will occasionally add a coat of rain X

The guy who does my coach when we're in Corpus Christi in the winter uses this stuff. Not only doesn't it streak, it removes all the water spots. I bought some and it really does work. I know this isn't in accordance with the label, but I won't argue with success. I asked the folks at West Marine about using it on glass and they said they have heard people do and that it works: http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/Marine/Home/Products/Catalog/?PC_7_RJH9U5230GE3E02LECIE20S4K7000000_nid=GSF21PNYLHbeH8PTZGX97Rgl

I have used turtle wax on my car windshield for 40 years. It still works better than anything else I have tried. Smear it on and let it haze over, buff it off, just like on the paint.
Steve Adams:
Richard, I used 0000 steel wool to clean my windhield then gave it two coats of rain X. Worked pretty well.
My wife recommended wiping the windhield (or any window for that matter) one way on the outside and the other way on the inside. That way it is easy to tell where your streak is, inside or out. Works for me!
