How to clean my 06 gts windows

For the life of me I have cleaned the windows in my stang 2 or 3 times and there are still these swirl marks that just get moved around and never go away. What cleaner and rags do you guys use to clean the windows effectively?

Check out this Site. You won't believe what a $6.00 purchase can do for you.

I use Stoner's Invisible Glass. Spray it on the window, use one clean cloth to wipe in the product and wipe it down, then a second clean cloth to wipe down the window again

Cool "Sprayway"

We use "Sprayway" ammonia free glass cleaner on all our truck and car projects here. And the Mrs. loves it for around the house too! Availible at any Sam's Store, here in the Midwest, at about $7.50 for a four pack of 19 oz. white aerosol cans. Very good stuff! Very nice streak-free cleaning! I use it on the Stang with lint free wipes, for car-show displays!! Also it's made right here in the good old USA! Good Luck! CalStang

Stoner FTW! I also use a Glass-Master. It does a good job and it's fast too.

I also use Stoners, and towels that have been washed with no fabric softener and dried without dryer sheets. Also, if you use Armor All or some other plastic treatment on you dash be careful not to get that on your towels as it will leave streaks on windows.

I spray a paper towel with cleaner then rub the window and follow that up with a clean dry paper towel. Repete if need be.

This actually works! I used the newspaper method for years before using Sparkle (amonia free and tint safe) and microfiber towels. But using the microfiber towels, you need to be sure to use a second clean/dry one after the initial wiping as stated in previous posts.

Yes the Newspaper works great! Little trick I learned being in the Military. Trust me the Air Force knows a thing or two about how to keep things clean LOL!! It seems like years and years ago when I was in Boot Camp all I did was clean!

Another satisfied Stoners IG user. I use it with lint-free window cleaning towels from Griots, works great.

You may want to try glass cleaner on the windshield. Why you might ask? Have you noticed that your wiper blades "skip" or streak when they operate? This is because they aren't designed to clean a waxed surface.
Waxed glass will also trap particulates and cause premature wear on your wiper blades and leave fine scratches in the glass.

So, pick up a wiper refill kit and clean your windshield with an automotive grade cleaner. The glass will sparkle and your wipers will work effortlessly!
