I never use any "Glass Cleaners" on my glass. Years ago I learned that they leave product behind that will haze up on humid days. I Strip the interior glass the alcohol mix (70/30 Windshield, 50/50 side windows) and only ever maintain it with pure water and a waffle weave towel. If it gets bad I will hit it with the 50/50. I very very rarely have my windshield fog up. Exterior I use turtle wax ice and shine every other month. It makes them incredibly easy to just wipe down with a damp paper towel to remove bird poo or dusty dirty water spots. Great info throughout without drawing out every explanation! The video did not feel like it was 7 minutes at all! That is a rarity for educational videos A++! (P.S. You have motivated me to buy more waffle towels, mine are getting old so it is time to send them to the great washing machine in the sky.)

My first car was an old 2001 Kia and i had MAD issues with fogging. As a newbie would, i turned to KZitem for help, found an "shaving foam hack" and lo and behold, it worked. Just apply and spread it, then wipe off the foam and wipe it with clean. Only when clearing up the car before its inevitable trip to the scrapyard i realised a can-sized ruber cap in the trunk floor was missing and my spare tire was floating in captive water... the car had problems lol.

If you mean Windex, correct. Amonia-based sprays do leave a residue. Alcohol/water does work but can dry the glass while wiping. Using a proven cleaner like Invisible glass doesn't leave any residue and the towel glides over the glass easier while wiping. In the end, it's just preference.

Great tip on the water+rubbing alcohol, I’ll have to try that! Another potential cause of streaks is dirt or grime on the doorframe or the foam seal around the window. I typically roll the window down, clean all of the foam, window frame and the piece at the bottom which acts like an interior wiper blade first, and allow it to dry. If you do all of the window frames in sequence then the first will be dry by the time you’ve cleaned the last one. Then roll the windows up and begin to clean them. This helps prevent dragging residue from the doorframe, sealing foam etc back onto the window as you’re cleaning it.

If you have an older car, residue on the interior glass windshield can be a sign that your heater core is on the way out.

One day we had a customer's car in to be cleaned up, and when I was going to clean the windows I asked if they had any window cleaner (back then, it was pretty much Windex). The owner told me that they never used commercial window cleaners-- they used newspaper and gasoline to clean the glass! Then, they left the car open to air out the gasoline smell! Needless to say, my tenure there was a brief one!

Two Tips on the Alcohol: 1. Be careful with overspray. Droplets sitting on your paint will dissolve the wax/sealant. Droplets sitting on some sensitive interior materials can stain &/or dry them out causing premature oxidation. I prefer to spray on the towel to avoid this. 2. Straight IPA+Water can be very grabby as it lacks lubricant. This is more of an issue with warmer temps as it also dries more quickly. For this reason i like to add a couple ounces of M34 (Meguiar's Final Inspection) to my 16oz bottles. It is essentially a pure lubricant. I also use the M34 in my homebrew waterless wash mix.

The haze often comes from the detergent used to wash the cloths. Most modern laundry detergents are all in one, and include ingredients that coat the fibers of the cloth so that fabric softener is optional. This can leave a haze because the alcohols in the cleaning solution can cause it to break down and get deposited on the glass. Be very selective about the detergent you use to wash your cleaning cloths.

Dawn dishwashing liquid to degrease a window from the offgasing of plastic is usually my start on new cars

100%! You need to do this on every new car after a few months of ownership. Dawn works perfectly since it is just a degreaser.

Great video Luke, automotive glass is so hard to get right, especially interior glass. I think you've pulled all of the elements together for spotless interior glass. Keep up with these great videos. I would also like to say that like your style and approach to your videos. You get right to the point and don't add any fillers to flush out your videos. Much appreciated!

Dawn and hot water for greasy inside windows, due to chemical deposits. Invisible Glass for general window cleaning, inside and out. White vinegar for to get external windows spotless and remove water spots; just avoid getting it on rubber. Finally make sure to use a microfiber, glass cleaning, cloth. Majority of regular microfiber towels tend to leave lint behind.

ive been using this glass cleaner for a couple decades lol. one of the gassing causes is mold release agent on the plastic panels. if you detail at a dealer, like i did for a long time, you get very used to all the cars coming in off of the truck with a ton of this haze on the glass. sometimes i even experimented with brake kleen, naptha, and acetone because this was such a PITA.

I'm just a car owner, but I just squirt a very small amount of Dawn Free and Clear spray dish soap on the inside of the window and clean it with a slightly wet (warm water) microfiber towel. Works better than anything else I've tried. Then I might hit it with the Invisible Glass unless I'm in a rush.

“Cinch” by Spic n Span has been around for decades and performs as well or better than 99% of the dozens of detailer window products on the market. I’d bet the formulation is closer to the 50/50 solution this gentleman creates. It is also comparatively dirt cheap. Hard to find in some places… I buy mine on Amazon.

Oily film on glass can also come from wetting agents in some paper towels, as mentioned on the can of Invisible Glass. Also diesel fumes and soot from traffic can coat the inside of the windshield with an oily residue. Fabric softener is essentially oils, so that will contaminate any microfiber with fog-causing residues.

@ryanpaul5604

You don't really need 50/50 mix. A good paint prep after polishing is 9oz of 91% to the rest water in a 32oz sprayer. So you could use that for windows too

After wasting money on all different glass “cleaners” and still seeing a haze after, I switched to water with a very small amount of Dawn dish detergent. I usually mix a quart of water and 3 or for drops of Dawn. I’m not talking about show car detailing level, just nice clear glass that I can see out of when driving at night. Seems to strip all the oils off that the name brand cleaners won’t touch and there’s no need to rinse when done. I also use the cheapest paper towels. The stiff paper trifold ones that are used in the dispensers work great. They don’t leave any lint at all. It almost seems like it stays cleaner longer but i don’t have any proof that it does for sure.

Not a pro, but I use the old Chris Fix method and it seems to work great. 1) Dry towel, just wipe the window, 2) Magic Eraser, then dry, 3) Window cleaner, then dry. I have not tried the rubbing alcohol mix but I will in the future.

I detailed cars in a body shop back in the day, when everyone smoked with Windex and newspaper. I have cleaned interior glass that turned a newspaper completely yellow from tar and nicotine and left the glass spotless. That was 40 years ago and still works just as good today.

I've been cleaning for more than 25 years , Cold water a couple of drops of dawn dishwashing liquid a clean microfiber rag rung out completely with this solution apply the soapy water to the glass & remove with a squeegee for auto windows , I've gotten a streak free clean every time I wash my car windows . alcohol will work but it causes off gassing when you get the alcohol on or close to the interior plastic. For this reason I do not use solvent based cleaners on car interior windows.
