Invisible Glass Cleaner....

is not invisible.

Every time I use the Invisible Glass moistened wipes....it leaves massive streaks on my windows -

Who is using a product that prevents steaking?


Thanks -

I use their aerosol spray can version and a glass designed microfiber, works wonders.

Might be your technique. I've used Invisible glass for years and love the product. I've used the spray can, spray bottle, and wipes but I prefer the pray bottle. I initially used paper towels but now use a microfiber towel. My wife and I also use it in the house.

^+1 I prefer the spray bottle.
I don't spray directly on the glass though.

I use 1 mf towel that I damp wet with the spray & then a dry glass (fine) mf towel to dry.

spray bottle of armor-all auto glass cleaner and paper towels works pretty well. definitely a huge improvement over household glass products.

Cleaner overspray on the wax/paint bother's me.

Quick, easy, streak free for most glass cleaners!

Windex and Bounty do the trick here.

so the trick with invisible glass aerosol is that you have to use a microfiber clothe, not a finishing clothe. Do this and it works great.

VIM all purpose cleaner (the blue one) beats out EVERYTHING i've tried. Can't explain it, but it works (better than all the high-end gear I've tried, and certainly better than staples like Windex etc). It leaves NO streaks and does a bang-on job for cleaning as well. This is my best low-budget secret.

I have used Method cleaners for some time now and they seem to work just fine for me. Certainly no streaking with the glass cleaner product.

BTW... their dish soap and hand soap refills are perfect for the various pumps we have around the house.

Cheers.
