Cleaning your windows
Hey guys i've only just realised that its been over a year since i have cleaned my windows in the S.
What products do you guys use to clean your windows thats easy to spray on & take off without leaving streaks?
I've heard from a friend who is a cleaner that she uses a mix of vinegar & water. Anyone tried this with success?
Also what if your windows are tinted, what product do you guys use on that?

Don't use Windex. It is ammonia based. If you regain consciousness after cleaning the inside you will notice the bleaching of the black areas. It will also make the clear area brittle.

REV_29K, are you talking about the glass side windows or the rear plastic window?
Windex or Coca-Cola is fine for the exterior glass but you should use a proper plastic cleaner for the rear window.

For the rear i use Plexus and am happy with the results of that product.
Coca Cola?? Thats a first that i've heard of that!! It wouldnt be too good on the paint if you get a bit of spillage or overspray.

I used windex on my previous ride and it smeared the windows like crazy. After alot of elbow grease the smears disappeared but comes back quickly after a few weeks.
Vuey perhaps you can send your friend over to clean my windows too

Slightly dampened newspaper for me. My chamois does a perfect streak free wipe of the exteriors. btw what are you guys using as a chamois? I use speed dryer ( i think thats what its called) is there something even better on the market?
