I gave the car a good clean yesterday, this morning windows have lots of smear marks . I used one cloth to put on cleaner and a fresh cloth to remove but still marks. I have yet to find a decent window cleaning product that does not smear. Any reccomendations please?

The trick I find is to let it smear and then polish off afterwards with a fresh cloth - no smear marks left then!

For me I use Megs Glass Cleaner (Bulk) with specific Glass Cleaning cloths, no smears and very clean screens........

Another vote for Megs. Excellent stuff.

Used to use cheap wilko type stuff in spray bottle from house wondows, but never got good results, then tried the auto glym stuff - expensive but works very well, no smears at all. Of course in the olden days when newspapers where all the size of fiat 500s and had ink that came off in your hand you could use them for getting a good smear free finish on glass (something to do with the acid in the old inks that worked like lemon juice/vineger), but it doesn't work with the modern ones!

I use Autoglym Fast Glass (It does exactly what it says on the spray) very quick and easy to use and leaves a streak free finish.

Hi The Ships Cat,

Use the white vinegar with ratio 8:1 and also on wiper blades here for grease going off.

:iagree:............. very quick and easy!

Baker - what cloths you using?

I'm using up some Turtle Wax glass cleaner which I've used for ages. Does the job, but I do get smears - which is why I might give a change of product and cloth a try

Cheers,

Steve

Another vote for Megs ...it' works...it's that simple

well it's not the bulk stuff but I've recently bought the Meg's Nxt glass cleaner and it's great! just needed a little elbow grease to remove water spots.

I like the Megs NXT stuff, but I also picked up some Stoner's Invisible Glass on a recent trip to the States and I would say thats even better.

Not sure if its sold in the UK - I'll go and have a Google as I would buy it again.

Edit: Clean Your Car stock it - http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/interior/stoner-invisible-glass/prod_363.html

When you next over to the States Andy?

I am heading out there in September..........

Race Valeting do some glass specific cloths i you want a UK supplier - Online Shop

Thats what I'm using at the moment

Simoniz glass cleaner works well enough for me. Autoglym fast glass is better but also costs more.

I use Citrus Bling, seems to work well. I only bought a sample pot but and has lasted me ages because you dilute it a lot. I have used it as quick wax. but I will definately buy some more when I next spend some money on cleaning stuff!

Don't overlook Lidl!

The household glass cleaner works just fine - no need to spend money on branded products.

But every so often they do a week when they sell car products.

The have a "nano" glass cleaner which includes a hard spunge cleaning block and two cloths for wiping the product on and then off. I used it a few weeks ago and it makes the glass invisable, plus the water runs off when you go above 45mph or so.

Their spray on engine degreaser is very good on relatively clean engines and leaves no residue.

I have tried a fair few home and car products and the ones that stand out for me are the Megs NXT in combination with the turtlewax glass cloths.

Very good streak free finish and it clean marks off well too
