What are you going to clean your windows with then? Rub a monitor on it? What page cleans best, google or microsoft.com?

ROFL :laugh:

No, but sometimes I do use it to clean the side view mirrors on my tricycle.

 

[nakedfrog]

Hm... will it work on monitors as well?

I thought you can't use windex if you have tint.

not on the side with the tint film. you can use however any spray that does not have ammonia in it.

it just seems like to me the ink would smear? how does the ink not smear? my hands get ink on them from just reading the darn thing.

Yeah someone on here recommended that I use vinegar and newspapers, that it's the bomb. Still been meaning to try it though

my dad taught me to do this way back in the day. The trick to get it real good is to crumple the paper so that a lot of edges or folds are touching the glass, pulling the moisture away from the glass much faster than if you put the paper flat against the glass. Cant get a better shine even with those expensive cloths you get at autozone.

And forget windex, 50/50 vinegar & water mix, perfect.

EDIT: PURE water!

Yup, newspapers work great.

Congrats on discovering what street windshield cleaning hobos have known for decades!

Also there is a great little product I found at the auto store called "Invisible Glass" that comes in a spray can which is a great cleaner to use. Invisible Glass plus newspaper for the win!

Isn't Invisible Glass just a pre-mix of vinegar and water?

i've been using newspaper for some time, it's great.
When my friend was helping me wash my car and he pulled out a newspaper i thought he was kidding, but i've been using newspaper to wash my car's ever since.
On the insides, i'll use microfiber too, i have nice clean windows

 

[EvilYoda]

I must remember to try this, hmmmm

 

[clamum]

Cool I'll have to try this next time I clean my car.

 

[Fingers]

Homeless people have been using that trick for years.

 

[iamme]
