inthedeck Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 As most know, the inside of subi windshields are notorious for being dirty. Some kind of weird residue, it's been on every one I've owned. Seriously. Shift to 2017, and well, same situation. Tried multiple types of glass cleaners over the years, to no avail. Smudges, that slick oily residue, and once in a while, it'd be alright. Well, I finally started a search, and came across the product that I've linked. Cleaned all the glass in the car with 2 cloths, and water, and I've never seen the windshield so clean. Ever...on any one of the previous subi's Ive owned. So, just passing on my findings. Water, and 2 cloths. A little bit of elbow grease, and that's it. Clean! And no, I don't work for the company, etc. https://www.amazon.com/Microfiber-Glass-Cleaning-Cloths-Chemicals/dp/B00KAJ42GO/ref=redir_mobile_desktop?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&ref_=ya_aw_oh_bia_dp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesuby Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 If you live near a Harbor Freight store, check out the coupons for free microfiber cloths. The deal is buy something else and get the towels free. I recommend the purchase of composite ratchet wrench. Less than $10 and you can use the 20% off coupon to get a better deal. 72 teeth means a click every 5 degrees of rotation. Works great in tight spots.

inthedeck Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 Right on. I'll have to check it out, even though the closest HF is about 30 mintues, in either direction. Also, I haven't seen any that are specific for 'glass' on their site...the ones included in the package I purchased are very 'fine' cloths, which make glass cleaning nice and easy. In any case, thanks for the tip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoda_One Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I do almost the same thing except I use vinger and pure water.

Moderators BarManBean Posted November 21, 2017 Moderators Share Posted November 21, 2017 Invisible Glass made by Stoner is a great glass cleaning product and is available pretty much everywhere. Ammonia free so it's safe for tinted windows as well, and it's cheap. Paper towels and that product will work fine.

FJuan Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Most of those window cleaners are junk. The good ole soap/water cleans every time and never leaves a smear/streak. My wife's balls are delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilesA Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Water plus a few tablespoons of vinegar and a drop of Lemon Joy in a quart size spray bottle. Wipe off with a microfiber cloth. Polish with a second microfiber cloth. Inexpensive and uses things you probably have around the house already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inthedeck Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 ^^Right on. I don't normally tout products...but, I felt this one deserved some merit...for a fine job. One that I'm finally happy with, after so many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paper towels and that product will work fine. been using for many years; trick for that 'suby grime' is to not rush right in and start wiping, but let it soak for about 20s after you spray it. two passes like that clears just about anything.

Pilot1226 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Yeah, I love Invisible Glass. Why do I want a composite ratcheting wrench? Don't think I own one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesuby Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Yeah, I love Invisible Glass. Why do I want a composite ratcheting wrench? Don't think I own one of those. The price is right and you get a "click" with every 5 degrees rotation. Harbor Freight does sell some questionable stuff, but I found "Made in Taiwan" means it's a lot better than made in China.

quick4dr Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 glass cleaner from Shine Supply or CarPro is killer. proper methods will go a long way!! never try and clean super hot glass or super cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyVetMP Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I use Invisible Glass myself. Though over time, my windows usually end up getting fogged up/grimy. Unfortunately this fog/grime is an inevitable after effect of using cleaners/protectants on the Dash Board. These Cleaners/Protectants will eventually evaporate from the dashboard, and with the windshield right there, deposit on the glass... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
