    Cleaning glass I keep getting streaks >.<

    Hey guys ive Tryed this spray on glass cleaner by some random car company it days spray on and wipe straight off with a paper towel or lint free cloth... Alas I've Tryed both and both times streaks where left... I may use vinegar but obviously comes the risk of making my car smell like a chippy

    Advice would be great please guys

    To me it sounds like either the product itself is crap or you're putting too much on!

    Sounds like the product isn't too great, get yourself a microfibre cloth and some 3M Glass Cleaner. Cracking product for little money

    Tesco now stock a few 3M products I noticed the other day.

    I use AG fast glass works fine a treat for me.

    Sounds like the molecules of the product are sticking. Next time, try a glass polish first to rid of all grime and oils. Then glass cleaner. Glass cleaners don't actually clean anything other than dust and water spots. Hence needing something slightly more aggressive like a polish.

    I always finish my glass with dodo juice red mist, wether at home or in the car.. No streaks at all for me.

    I prefer the waffle weave type towels for glass rather than microfibres.

    Buff it off with a microfibre... Be reet.

    Needs a DJ merkin cloth and a decent cleaner.

    I also make sure the glass is actually clean like JD said. Even just warm water will clean them up nice.

    Never had a problem with it Gally, been using it for years... The cream stuff I'd agree is naff, use the Fast glass in the house too..

    Have you ever clayed your glass? It's surprising how much rubbish is on them even after several bits with a glass cleaner, as JD explained. A glass polish will also help to remove a lot if dirt.

    If you want to re use the glass cleaner again get a decent cloth, the waffle weave ones like the mint merkin I prefer, spray it once or twice onto the cloth then wipe on the glass

    Ahhh possibly going wrong on application? I sprayed the glass lol and was using a jay cloth newspaper and vinegar was also suggested to me I smiled and nodded at the misses mother for suggesting it lol I've never owned a clay bar for fear of not knowing what to do with it I'm not into my detailing so I am a blank canvas

    Unfortunately the outlaw was right vinegar gives streak free glass. For a cheap glass cleaner that is amazing for it's price get Lidl's own W5 brand.
