For all those mosnter cleaner users, have you tried ANY decent auto glass cleaner?
Meguiar's NXT, Stoner's invisible glass or Eagle one 20/20 are 3 that come to mind, readily available even at supermarkets and very very effective.

Automotive glass cleaners have a different formulation that household cleaner, they are quite potent to take out road grime, but have no ammonia to avoid removing tinted coating. They are very easy to apply, leave no streaking, and NXT even smells like citrus.

I use exclusively auto glass cleaner for all the screens with fantastic results, from my laptop to the monitors to the TVs... my wife also saw the light and ditched windex and similars for household use.

Could someone of the monster users buy a bottle of stoner's invisible glass or Meguiar's NXT and compare it?



Thanks

If you are referring to denaturated ethanol (ethyl alcohol) I would not use it. It is a stronger solvent than isopropanol and there's a chance you can damage any coating on the screen or yellow the screen with repeated use.

Interesting, didn't realize that since I use denatured alcohol as a cleaning agent in a lot of stuff, especially HSF's. Guess I'll stop on my monitors at least.
