    stricks??? ive heard of streaks and sticks but not stricks. j/k

    i use the blue stuff from auto zone. the best way to clean it is to open both doors and lay on the seats flat facing up. that way the glass is above you. its a hell of alot easier.

    windex can work if you don't have tinted. i'm generalizing for all car glass. the ammonia in windex can damage the tinting right? on the inside of the car i do use windex, because i dont have tinted windows. anyway, i probably didnt help anybody saying this, but if somehow i did then good. ok, i'll shut up now.

    Clearvue seems to work best. If you're crazy enough, you can try the Essex GC-800 window and surface cleaner.

    If it is sunny outside and the window/glass is warmed up, the cleaner will leave streaks (anything like windex does at least ). I always try to clean my windows in the shade so that they look spotless. I use Windex by the way.

    I use Stoner's Invisible Glass. Be sure and use old news paper.
    The news papers will help with the streaks no matter what you use.

    Windex works like crap. Use that Glass Cleaner foamy stuff, it comes in a blue can at the grocery store or auto parts store. Don't use paper towels as that leaves little speaks of cotten shit all over the place. Use a very clean cotton cloth and clean it evenly in strokes, not circles. I've found this to be the best way. If you have a really small squeegee that will work too but it's difficult, but the upside is no streaks. Hope this helps.

    Clearvue could be found at some autopart stores or Wal-Mart. As far as those Essex GC-800 goes, I'm not sure where my brother got it.

    No, it won't. You just gotta be careful not to scrath the glass. If done right, the glass will look like it's not even there.

    Rainix works good. You should clean the surface of the glass first before applying Rainix. Oh, you only apply Rainix on the outside, not the inside.

    I use Rainix on my windshield and my front windows and yes, I recommend you all to use Rainix, especially if it rains a lot where you're at.

    ok, a couple of questions....first of all, anyone know of the rain-x antifog any good? I have a bad problem of foggin' up the windows....second of all, I saw this pad at work....its like an "all-purpose" cleaning pad, where all you have to do is wipe it over the area... and it supposedly cleans it, without using any chemicals or ANYTHING...not even water...it has kinda a rubber feel to it, and looks basically like a sponge...and you can use it over and over again...it says do not wet before use! and to clean the pad itself, just use soap and water....anyone ever hear of this? is it worth it?

    Tuning the a/c on will clear up your windows. In the winter month, turn it on with the temp on heat. A/C will get the humidity out of the car.

    I second the newspaper. Removes all that hazy residue left by the cleaners. All I can say is if you have used newspaper to wipe your ass then you probably know how to make it not scratch your windows, and it usually doesnt anyways (but your ass it will).
