Microfiber is definitely the way to go! I also spray a little glass cleaner on the cloth instead of the windshield to avoid drips.

I prefer paper towels with a good glass cleaner. They seem to get the job done for stubborn spots, but I still have to be careful to avoid streaks.

Great tip, George! I’ve been using a dedicated scrubber with a long handle to reach the corners; it really helps!

I use a vinegar and water mix for a natural cleaner. Works like a charm, and no streaks! Just make sure your cloth is clean.

I love that idea! Has anyone tried those specialized windshield cleaning kits? Do they really work?

26

Yes, I have one! They include everything from the cleaner to the microfiber pads. They’re super handy and really effective.

27

That sounds useful! I tend to use the good old-fashioned way, just a clean cloth and elbow grease.

I’ve seen people using a magic eraser for tough spots; is that safe for windshields? I worry about scratching.

Magic erasers can work, but they can also scratch if you’re not careful! Stick with microfiber for safety.

I once did that, and the scratches were noticeable! Now I just use a soft cloth and cleaner. Much better choice.

Yikes! Lesson learned, right? Keeping it simple is usually the best approach.

I usually use an old cotton t-shirt; no lint! It works, but maybe not as well as a microfiber.

That’s a creative use! I’ve heard that old socks can work too, in a pinch!

Socks? Now I’ve seen it all! But when it comes to cleaning, whatever works is fine by me!

Haha! As long as they’re clean, right? I just use a dedicated glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth—can’t go wrong!

I’ve found that using paper towels can leave streaks because they have fibers. Microfiber cloths are much better for a streak-free finish.

37

Absolutely! I’ve also noticed that cleaners with ammonia can damage the tint. Always check the label!

Yes, ammonia can be really harmful. I usually just use a vinegar-water solution, and it works wonders!

Vinegar is an interesting choice! I’ve never tried that. Does it really prevent streaks?

Yes, it does! Just mix equal parts of vinegar and water. The trick is to wipe gently to avoid scratches.
