The secret to clean windows, anyone got it?

I have an 05 f150. I am constantly washing it. The one thing I haven't mastered is streak free windows. Anyone found a product that works well? Are there techniques which make for a cleaner window?

Stoner's Invisible Glass works wonders. I'll spray it on, wipe with a MF towel and "buff" with the dry and clean side of the towel or a different towel altogether.

I've found it at Wal-Mart so it's not too hard to come by.

Generally speaking -- me too.

I will also utilize Sprayway glass cleaner as well as NXT Glass Cleaner... all are fantastic products.

when cleaning the glass. wipe side to side on the inside and up and down on the outside. if you leave streaks you'll be able to reclean them easily.

this is more for the house but its still a good idea.

You guys are a bunch of stoners. THe reason stoners gets it so clean is you don't realize how long you've been wiping until the munchies hit.

A microfiber towel will greatly reduce effort needed to achieve good clean streak free windows. Smoking in the car makes cleaning windows a nightmare, just don't do it!

I've heard the water/vinegar solution will remove hard-water stains on windows, is this true?

What are these "street lights" you speak of?

-What solution is the best for the water:vinegar? And what type of vinegar? I am guessing distilled white.
