Stoners works great! Then after cleaning the glass use Zaino Z2 on the outside of the glass.

I have a terrible time with windows. No matter what I use to use, I could not get the streaks out. So, my wife takes care of the windows. The reason I bring this up is I got a bottle of Adam's window cleaner and she tried it. I had to go buy a large gallon of the Adam's cleaner because she not only uses it on the Vettes but she now uses it for her glass top tables in the house.

Good stuff! At least that's what my wife says!

This is a good tip for you when you are cleaning your windows. Use any good glass cleaner or mix mentioned above. Newspaper works great for wiping, but just use a good clean towel. When you do the outside of the windows, wipe top to bottom. When you do the inside of the windows, do side to side. This way, if you leave streaks, you will be able to tell which side of the glass the streaks are on

I think even Goat U'Ryan works good with these Special Window rags my Daughter bought me from a salesman that came by the detail shop she worked at a few years ago. Have no idea what there made of or where there manufactured,But they really work good with whatever cleaner you use!!

I use the stoner cleaner and newspaper on the outside and get good results, soft lint free cloth on the inside because windows are tinted and don't want to scratch.

Default I too am having glass issues

I am having glass issues too. I have tried clay, compounds, polishes, cleaners, ect., but have not been able to find anything that will take the waterspots out of my glass. One gentleman that was at the Altamonte Springs show, suggested a mixture of baking soda and water. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Gary

I saw a video demo for Diamondite at the Autogeek.net detail fest last month. Looks like good stuff but I have not tried it. Watch the video at this link and see if would work for your issue.

Good Luck.
