Best way to clean the glass in my vehicle?

[Dr.Destructo]

I've tried everything to try and get clean, clear glass in my vehicle, but no matter what I've tried, it streaks or stays cloudy.

I have tried -

Windex
Dollar store windex
plain water
soap and water
vinegar and water
specialty auto glass cleaner/polish
and several other "home remedies"

But nothing cleans my auto glass to a clear, clean finish.
There's always streaks of some kind, or a haze left behind.

Is there ANYTHING that really works??

Have you tried washing it in the shade?

We have a problem with tree sap. Our windshield looks like its been pitted in a sandstorm. I found if I wipe it down with Goo Gone before washing with windex in the garage cleans it very well. The interior of the windshield is difficult to reach and it usually takes a couple passes to get it clean.

I've heard urine works pretty well.

/—-/ Use micro fiber cloths. Wet one with water and wipe down the glass. Then use a dry one to polish the glass. No streaks guaranteed.

Needs to be strong enough to cut the oils to dissolve the film so it can be absorbed by the towel, while not evaporating so fast as to leave streaks before being all wiped up.

A drop of Dawn in around a gallon of warm water...One drop!

Wash window with a paper towel, dry with a microfiber cloth.

Tree sap is an whole other animal! Park elsewhere.

LOL, good luck with that around my place. I've found that Goo Gone works well for tree sap but it has to be wiped down before washing the window.

It could be permanent haze, which is from a variety of sources (sand weathering, acid, etc.).

Have you tried water and newsprint paper? Takes a grocery store flyer and rip a page out. Crinkle it up for ~ one minute. Wet it good. Rub firmly. Take another flyer page and crinkle that for one minute. Do not wet it, but instead, use that piece to clean the water streaks.

If that does not work, then you might have perma haze.

I use it pretty strong..then wipe it down with plain water a couple times

It works

The windshield washer fluid works well on the inside too.

I just spay the windows with water and dry them with paper towels.

Use paper, not paper towels.
Paper towels have moisture agents to make it soft - those agents leaves streaks on glass.
Newspaper, plain paper do not contain these agents - will not leave streaks.
FACT

I agree. And there is not cost for towels.

Soon as it's clean, about five minutes into a drive, a big ol dragonfly will commit seppuku directly in my line of sight.

Don't know about permanent haze, but I washed the windows in a jewelry store as a teenager in the sixties and that is how I did those. LOL, it would have been so much better with a squeegee.
