Question Window Streaks?

How do you guys keep from streaking your windows when you're cleaning them?

I use Stoner's Invisible Glass and some paper towels from Kirkland.

STOP right there!! 86 the paper towels. Use a microfiber rag or clean terry cloth to wipe with whatever glass cleaner (I use turtle wax windshield or whatever is on sale ) with a damp rag, then go over with a dry/clean rag. IF that doesn't work, use newspapers to clean the windows! I have YET to get streaks/smudges by using them.

Good Luck

I use the EXACT thing.

I hear a lot that newspaper will do the trick, because the ink in the paper helps prevent streaks.

I know I've tried it before...but I can't confirm it, I don't remember haha

one nice thing about Stoners is: you can use it in direct sunlight

just DON'T use paper towels - or you can get specific detail towels just for window use.

I've used newspaper before with no problems

Good Luck
This. I usually use newspaper if we have any, if not just some microfiber towels. Works well!
