It specifically has to be the SW050 version, tho. The way it foams up compared to the normal version is far superior. Not to mention I feel like it cuts through grease a lot better too.
When I had my windows replaced with Champion windows, they gave me 6 cans of Sprayway glass cleaner, the best I've ever used. I clean the interior windows with a little dawn and water to cut the buildup, then finish with sprayway.
When I worked for IBM years ago we used Ethyl Alcohol to clean optical glass used with our Laser system. 99.9% pure and when wiped off with a Lint FREE cloth the glass was spotless. You have the right idea with the alcohol and lint free cloths. Good point!
I never use any "Glass Cleaners" on my glass. Years ago I learned that they leave product behind that will haze up on humid days. I Strip the interior glass the alcohol mix (70/30 Windshield, 50/50 side windows) and only ever maintain it with pure water and a waffle weave towel. If it gets bad I will hit it with the 50/50. I very very rarely have my windshield fog up. Exterior I use turtle wax ice and shine every other month. It makes them incredibly easy to just wipe down with a damp paper towel to remove bird poo or dusty dirty water spots. Great info throughout without drawing out every explanation! The video did not feel like it was 7 minutes at all! That is a rarity for educational videos A++! (P.S. You have motivated me to buy more waffle towels, mine are getting old so it is time to send them to the great washing machine in the sky.)
My first car was an old 2001 Kia and i had MAD issues with fogging. As a newbie would, i turned to TH-cam for help, found an "shaving foam hack" and lo and behold, it worked. Just apply and spread it, then wipe off the foam and wipe it with clean. Only when clearing up the car before its inevitable trip to the scrapyard i realised a can-sized ruber cap in the trunk floor was missing and my spare tire was floating in captive water... the car had problems lol.
If you mean Windex, correct. Amonia-based sprays do leave a residue. Alcohol/water does work but can dry the glass while wiping. Using a proven cleaner like Invisible glass doesn't leave any residue and the towel glides over the glass easier while wiping. In the end, it's just preference.
Great tip on the water+rubbing alcohol, I’ll have to try that! Another potential cause of streaks is dirt or grime on the doorframe or the foam seal around the window. I typically roll the window down, clean all of the foam, window frame and the piece at the bottom which acts like an interior wiper blade first, and allow it to dry. If you do all of the window frames in sequence then the first will be dry by the time you’ve cleaned the last one. Then roll the windows up and begin to clean them. This helps prevent dragging residue from the doorframe, sealing foam etc back onto the window as you’re cleaning it.
I was going to say the same thing! Go around the frame of Every window first then toss that dirty towel in the bin and grab a fresh one for the next step. This should be added to the video as #1 for a total of 4 common problems. Occasionally, i'll even spread the wiper/seal thingy(some are lined with felt) and run a towel between it that is sprayed with cleaner.
If you have an older car, residue on the interior glass windshield can be a sign that your heater core is on the way out. The coolant will start to escape through a pinhole leak and collect on the inside of the windshield. That is difficult to clean up well and it’ll get messy again as soon as you drive again.
Spot on. My car’s heater core has gone and I was getting the same issue. I found pure alcohol and a micro fibre cloth works ok to get rid of the residue. But your spot on that it just come straight out again so it’s a temporary solution. In summer you can turn on the air con to remove the humidity from the air and that works but in the winter this stops and your screwed.
I noticed residue on my windshield almost immediately after installing a new (NOS actually) dash pad, and it fades with cleaning over time, but every time I apply vinyl protectant to it, a couple days later I notice heavy residue again. Fortunately I know my heater core, while old, is still good. Just something else to muddy the waters, so to speak. If you have a new vinyl dash and use the 303 Aerospace Protectant on your dash, you're gonna get residue.
Great video. It also makes a huge difference how your towels are washed and where/how they’re stored. NEVER use fabric softener sheets when drying towels for detailing work. Also, if you openly store towels in your garage, they will be subjected to humid conditions and end up basically unusable for cleaning glass.
Old remedy that still works., use 30 % vinegar in a spray bottle , use micro towel to spread around then wipe the windows with old newspapers . It collects all the smudges from the windows and leaves a nice finish😅😅
@@jublywubly I should have mentioned to use “OLD” newspaper . Also don’t saturate the paper ,a light spray works best Personally I never had a problem with. Good Luck and have a nice day
@@jublywubly- cleaning with newspaper would not leave ink all over the glass. I have been doing that for decades on home/car, leaves zero streaks and fluff unlike towels/squeegee etc As for the vinegar, I would not recommend unless you want your car to smell like crap.
@@billyyank5807 I personally never cared for this method even though the container does mention it. I know others that like it though. I wipe with regular microfiber first to do the real cleaning. I finish with microfiber for glass and the results are excellent.
Been listening to you for years and detailing for about 7 years. Listening to you I haven't had any complaints on my work, prices or even me so far knock on wood. Love the knowledge and the channel.
Stoner and Invisible Glass is made right by my Job in Lancaster, PA. They stopped by a few months ago and gave some of us a case of Invisible Glass. Love using it especially since its local
Finally someone talking about the lint that gets left behind. It’s been driving me crazy. I’ve been using waffle weave towels from chemical guys and even those leave lint behind. I’ll have to try these out. Didn’t even think about using alcohol to cut through the fog. I’ve been using dawn dish soap and water, sometimes magic eraser to make sure all that fog gets cleared and don’t have any streaks.
(I'm making this up as I types, so this could be stupid but...) have you tried wiping with a coffee filter after? I know that sounds weird but they are designed not to shed any fibers into your coffee. Might knock off the cloth fibers.
As a teen back in the mid-1970s, I worked for a (brief) time at a local Amoco station mostly pumping gas. One day we had a customer's car in to be cleaned up, and when I was going to clean the windows I asked if they had any window cleaner (back then, it was pretty much Windex). The owner told me that they never used commercial window cleaners-- they used newspaper and gasoline to clean the glass! Then, they left the car open to air out the gasoline smell! Needless to say, my tenure there was a brief one!
@@MalikCarr Some of the older mechanics I know would take particularly grimy car parts and let them sit in a bucket of gas or diesel for a day or two and the sludge would wipe right off. Dangerous as hell but it got the job done in a pinch
Two Tips on the Alcohol: 1. Be careful with overspray. Droplets sitting on your paint will dissolve the wax/sealant. Droplets sitting on some sensitive interior materials can stain &/or dry them out causing premature oxidation. I prefer to spray on the towel to avoid this. 2. Straight IPA+Water can be very grabby as it lacks lubricant. This is more of an issue with warmer temps as it also dries more quickly. For this reason i like to add a couple ounces of M34 (Meguiar's Final Inspection) to my 16oz bottles. It is essentially a pure lubricant. I also use the M34 in my homebrew waterless wash mix.
I tried this glass cleaner mix today and it works. Heavily soiled outer glass needed a second cleaning, but the result was better than any commercial glass cleaner I've used. Luckily I had the isopropyl alcohol and distilled water on hand, mixed 50/50. In stead of the special towels that was suggested I used blue shop towels...worked for me.
I was mildly surprised when you recommended the same Waffle Weave towels I settled on a few years ago for glass cleaning. Compared to others they are nearly magical. Excellent video!
I formulated my own glass cleaner earlier this year. It has the following ingredients: water, isopropyl alcohol, 2-butoxyethanol AKA butyl cellosolve or ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, and a tiny amount of surfactant such as Tergitol NP-9 or Triton X-100. It costs no more than 1.5 cents an ounce and works great.
@@Virallllllll Here you go. This cleaner uses 70% isopropanol (IPA) and 2-butoxyethanol (also known as butyl cellosolve or ethylene glycol monobutyl ether) at a 3:1 ratio, along with one drop per quart of surfactant such as Tergitol NP-9 or Triton X-100. Example to make one quart (946ml) of ready-to-use solution: Isopropanol 70% solution: 1.5 ounces or 45ml 2-butoxyethanol: 0.5 ounces or 15ml One drop of surfactant. To make one quart (946ml) of CONCENTRATE, use 24 ounces (710ml) of 70% IPA and 8 ounces (237ml) of 2-butoxyethanol, and 16 drops of surfactant. This will make four gallons of solution diluted 1:15.
On glass that doesn't have a film tint, just a haze from the passing of time, dry paper towels actually work extremely well. Even just the cheap paper towels at a gas station, bone dry. Worked at a gas dock growing up, and the boss got annoyed at how much Sparkle I was using to clean up boats - the dry method works shockingly well for windshields. No haze, no steaks 👍
The haze often comes from the detergent used to wash the cloths. Most modern laundry detergents are all in one, and include ingredients that coat the fibers of the cloth so that fabric softener is optional. This can leave a haze because the alcohols in the cleaning solution can cause it to break down and get deposited on the glass. Be very selective about the detergent you use to wash your cleaning cloths.
Have you found any good, inexpensive detergents for microfiber cloths? I see a number of detergents marketed specifically for microfiber towels, but I don't want another specialized cleaner if I can just buy something I use for both my clothes and microfiber towels.
@@kirkjohnson6638 You might try some of the "free" detergents, that is, free of fragrance and other ingredients that may produce allergic reactions in sensitive persons. I'd also recommend enabling an additional rinse cycle if your washer supports it. The new formulations for "HE" washers do have some drawbacks, and the reduced water usage of those washers does cause a larger amount of residual detergent to be left behind.
@@jspartacus Thanks! Yeah, I'll give one of those fragrance free detergents a try. I always keep a microfiber towel on my dresser to use for cleaning my glasses and the detergent I have now seems to cause streaking, but it could be that a Bounce sheet got tossed in the dryer.
I just use sprayway. It's a fantastic cleaner, it foams and stays put so I don't get it on other parts, it's super cheap, and it cleans well. IT's also ammonia free so you can use it on tint. Plus I love the smell. SO CLEAN.
I used to clean businesses and homes for a living. We used 50/50 water and vinegar with either newspaper or really cheap paper towels to clean glass surfaces and windows. It took care of the yuck from smoking and cooking without leaving residue or streaks.
Ahh so I was right! I've been using 91% alcohol to wipe my car windows first then going back and wiping again with 3/M glass cleaner afterwards. Another thing, someone showed me that using a silicone squeegee during the second step REALLY helps in getting the glass clean with no streaks and it works.
Use sprayaway to clean the glass. Then use a squeegee to clean the spray and any left behind dirt. I'd recommend a stiffer blade (the blue colored blades are great for glass). Easiest way to have excellent glass.
I've been using spray bottle glass cleaners from napa and advanced,, Napa has their own brand and the mequires glass cleaner I use with a regular towl ( small 10 x 12 ? ) and I've got the best results, just keep the towel clean and dedicated to the glass and no streaks with pure clean view, only catch is I've gotta male sure I do it every 3 months otherwise they'll fog up alittle, but very happy with how I do it, been the best method for me for 10yrs,, nice video!
Lol I was about to do my normal of putting it on 1.5x or more, trying to get through the blah blah blah quicker. Then the guy starts talking and it's chipmunk-speed!!! 🤣
Great video Luke !I like the invisible Glass cleaner .I have used it for years. I like the pump spray bottle as I can tell how much product i have left . I have used the 50/ 50 IPA but it can flash really fast if you are out in the sun, but it does get all the mess off of your glass. I also find a good car shampoo with a magic eraser does really well on the exterior glass. I live down on the coast and the humidity will drive you nuts when it comes to cleaning glass!
Oily film on glass can also come from wetting agents in some paper towels, as mentioned on the can of Invisible Glass. Also diesel fumes and soot from traffic can coat the inside of the windshield with an oily residue. Fabric softener is essentially oils, so that will contaminate any microfiber with fog-causing residues.
Bro this is a awesome tip and do you think you can maybe make a video on a good way to clean exterior glass and how to get rid of water spots on the exterior glass. Also some ways on protecting the exterior glass ? Should you upcharge for protecting exterior glass as well?
ive been using this glass cleaner for a couple decades lol. one of the gassing causes is mold release agent on the plastic panels. if you detail at a dealer, like i did for a long time, you get very used to all the cars coming in off of the truck with a ton of this haze on the glass. sometimes i even experimented with brake kleen, naptha, and acetone because this was such a PITA.
I find nothing works better then a pail and a couple drops of dish soap! Absolutely no streaks and cuts grease. Save yourself big bucks on all the products out there lol
Good video and a word from your' Invisible glass cleaner' sponsor as well. I find the foam cleaners to work real well. To initially clean tough glass I just use our household hydrogen peroxide oxygenated solution cleaner or Windex. The day I stopped using Armor all was the day I stopped having trouble with interior glass. Wash micro fiber towels in warm or cold water and never put them in the dryer.
@@aayotechnology I use a household cleaning concentrate product called BIO-OX. Its basically a Hydrogen Peroxide oxygenated concentrate that you mix with water> It cuts any residue on windows...carpet stain remover, everything except wood or leather. I've seen similar Hydrogen peroxide concentrate products in janitorial supply stores. One gallon lasts us a year.
I detailed cars in a body shop back in the day, when everyone smoked with Windex and newspaper. I have cleaned interior glass that turned a newspaper completely yellow from tar and nicotine and left the glass spotless. That was 40 years ago and still works just as good today.
I like the magic eraser and a good glass cleaner even a rinseless wash. Stoner has worked very well for me For anything super heavy that you can't get off use mckees 2020 cockpit glass cleaner it works when nothing else does (dog slobber, plastic off gassing) He's basically using a prep spray for windows which works. Carpro eraser is phenomenal
I learned a lot here. Been using invisible glass for manny years, (because it was the first product I found designed to be used on film) and dedicated microfiber, works great. But now know how to truly clean interior glass. Especially when a car is new, during its first hot summer, panels will gas big time and that’s always been tough to get off. Great video
Great video Luke, automotive glass is so hard to get right, especially interior glass. I think you've pulled all of the elements together for spotless interior glass. Keep up with these great videos. I would also like to say that like your style and approach to your videos. You get right to the point and don't add any fillers to flush out your videos. Much appreciated!
He just got a sub from me for those reasons. And, also, no annoying background music is a plus. I wish YT hosts would knock it off with the music while they are speaking.
I'm just a car owner, but I just squirt a very small amount of Dawn Free and Clear spray dish soap on the inside of the window and clean it with a slightly wet (warm water) microfiber towel. Works better than anything else I've tried. Then I might hit it with the Invisible Glass unless I'm in a rush.
After wasting money on all different glass “cleaners” and still seeing a haze after, I switched to water with a very small amount of Dawn dish detergent. I usually mix a quart of water and 3 or for drops of Dawn. I’m not talking about show car detailing level, just nice clear glass that I can see out of when driving at night. Seems to strip all the oils off that the name brand cleaners won’t touch and there’s no need to rinse when done. I also use the cheapest paper towels. The stiff paper trifold ones that are used in the dispensers work great. They don’t leave any lint at all. It almost seems like it stays cleaner longer but i don’t have any proof that it does for sure.
Great video! I’ve been using magic erasers to cut haze and then using a cleaner and a squeegee. I’m not a pro and it cleans well enough for me. Thanks for the breakdown!
Back in the 90's we referred to that as buffing the glass. No matter what you used to clean the windows you always came back and buffed it to totally remove fog and streaks instantly.
Not a pro, but I use the old Chris Fix method and it seems to work great. 1) Dry towel, just wipe the window, 2) Magic Eraser, then dry, 3) Window cleaner, then dry. I have not tried the rubbing alcohol mix but I will in the future.
@@NeverComplyEver i use ech2o 1:10, it’s €14 here for 500ml. I can make a liter for about €3 including distilled water. A liter of for example stoner’s is about €11
“Cinch” by Spic n Span has been around for decades and performs as well or better than 99% of the dozens of detailer window products on the market. I’d bet the formulation is closer to the 50/50 solution this gentleman creates. It is also comparatively dirt cheap. Hard to find in some places… I buy mine on Amazon.
I like that you convey a lot of information as quickly as possible. Most TH-cam How To videos are 50% time wasting filler or more. I don't like Invisible Glass. I want a glass cleaner and it seems more like a water based glass shine that doesn't clean anything and is way too slow to evaporate. I don't have tinted glass so Windex is far better.
Two things about Invisible Glass. 1. The Auto and Home versions are IDENTICAL per Stoner. Get whichever one is cheaper. 2. Get the aerosol, not the spray. It works better.
I find that a D-limonene-based natural cleaning spray will cut the dirt very well and leave little streaking. If followed up with Invisible Glass, completely streak free.
You don't really need 50/50 mix. A good paint prep after polishing is 9oz of 91% to the rest water in a 32oz sprayer. So you could use that for windows too
Also using a rinseless wash is a good idea to get pretty clean windows without any residue along with using one of those microfiber waffle weave towels to dry it off. Works really well.
That second clean rag is picking up the Amour All from the plastic trim ......... Chris Fix says that interior glass haze is caused by the plastic interior trim out-gassing .
You just earned a subscriber. I am one of those people who when somebody gets in my 18 year old pickup they ask if it is a new truck. Windows have always been a pain. you just taught me why. For years I used windex about 10 years ago switched to Sprayway glass cleaner which does a much better job. I'm going to give invisible glass a try.The different rag idea for applying and final wipe I've been doing for years.
I’ve been using Invisible Glass spray for years with cotton window cleaning cloths with no problems. I wash them separately with no fabric softener or dryer sheets as you should your bath towels. They’ve lasted for years.
I've been cleaning for more than 25 years , Cold water a couple of drops of dawn dishwashing liquid a clean microfiber rag rung out completely with this solution apply the soapy water to the glass & remove with a squeegee for auto windows , I've gotten a streak free clean every time I wash my car windows . alcohol will work but it causes off gassing when you get the alcohol on or close to the interior plastic. For this reason I do not use solvent based cleaners on car interior windows.
Thank you for this!! I have had the hardest time getting my car windows clean and clear. I use a stronger alcohol mixture in the house but was afraid to try it on my tinted car windows. I appreciate the advice!
I recommend getting the Sprayaway SW050, not to get it confused with the normal Sprayaway. The SW050 has a lot stronger foaming action which makes it better over the normal product. We used to use it as an all purpose cleaner/glass cleaner back in an old body shop I worked at. Even the all the glass installers I know prefer the stuff.
In Quebec we have a biodegradable soap called Hertels, half a capful in a bucket of water and a microfiber cloth and it's as simple as pie, you go through it the first time, you take the other side of the microfiber and you go through a second time and here is no residue, the glass is super clean without trace.
Ive been using a touch of brake cleaner on a rag for years to cut the offgasing oils from my interior windows. Works great now i think ill try the 50/50 mix
I started using an all purpose cleaner I made for random stuff in my house on windows. 3/4 72% isopropyl alcohol, 1/4 water (distilled for best results), and a squirt of dish soap. It’s cheap and incredible for windows while also working great on general surfaces in the house, stainless steel, and porcelain. I wipe with a fine thread microfiber and the results are perfect and better than any dedicated glass cleaner I’ve ever had.
As a professional window cleaner for 20 years now, the number one problem with streaks left on glass is because of the cleaner that you are using. It does not matter how much soap you use the streaks are coming from the residue left over from the cleaner. If you notice a fog or haze I call that over soaping your glass. The way you remove that is use just water. The more pure you can get it the better the result. Water in its purest form is looking for minerals to grab on to. The pure water will pull off the soap off the glass and leave your window looking great. I use surgical towels, they are highly absorbent, and have low lint left behind. Because they are used to clean up the blood for surgeries. They can also be used for cleaning glass as well.
I do residential window cleaning on the side. Best way ive found to clean car windows is either 1) a dawn dish soap diluted in water solution. Use a 5" window cleaning brush(like a Sorbo tbar and brush cover) and then squeegee it off with a 4-6" squeegee(like a Sorbo\Ettore handle and channel)(is quick and gets it perfect) then you wont have all the hassle and time wasting of letting something dry and alls you have to do is wipe the edges, which can be done with a conditioned terry cloth towel or micro fiber can work as well. It works in humidity too(FL resident here). or 2) THE ONLY product id ever recommend for cleaning glass whether in a car or home is Sprayway Glass Cleaner. It comes in a white can with blue lettering. Best stuff on the market IMO. Legit the quickest, tint safe, most efficient, least complicated and even cheap way is the first i stated. You buy the small brush and squeegee(commercial grade none of that walmart crap and NOT a two in one) and its fairly low cost and you will have them for years. Only thing youll have to purchase occasionally is squeegee rubbers.
a car glass repair guy told me that the only way to get the road film and scunge/silicone off the exterior of windshield is to buff it (by Machine) with a fine polishing compound called rottenstone. he gave me some to try its a powder you mix with a little to make a slurry and yes it works awesome.
I always clay bar my windows first then wet towel + product and finish with dry towel perfect windows every time, works well especially for outside where you get lots of dried waster spots difficult to get rid of otherwise.
I do the same thing, only I use a squeegee to remove most of product off window first. And use a high thread count woven white cloth as a finishing cloth. 👍
I used to swear by Invisible Glass except when I moved to Arizona I found no cleaning product is good for car windows in AZ I assumed it was due to the strong UV rays and heat.
Great tips for great results! I have been using the 50/50 solution for over 30 years. I started using it when I worked at an International Airport to clean windshields on the fleet vehicles. It was the only thing that would cut the jet fuel and easy to use.
From wine glasses to window polishing to exterior detailing or spray waxing..flour sack towels . I use Groit's Best in Show Detailer, followed by Chemical Guys Banana Wax wiped off with these Anti Em's Flour Sack towels easy peasy

Where do you get the waffle weave
When I worked for IBM years ago we used Ethyl Alcohol to clean optical glass used with our Laser system. 99.9% pure and when wiped off with a Lint FREE cloth the glass was spotless. You have the right idea with the alcohol and lint free cloths. Good point!
The reason you don’t use complete alcohol is if can damage tint especially if it’s ceramic……
Careful with 90-99.9% ethyl alcohol though as that can easily damage/warp other car interior parts that it touches
@goodoughpie6144 true, I only use water and microfiber on my tints now
70% mix Ethyl or Isopropryl alcohol, 30% water. Great for cars, any glass. Common sense to be careful not to soak plastics etc.
Be careful with certain chemicals, windex changed the color of my tints few years back

Yes. Fabric softener leaves oil/wax on fabric.
Totally agree.
White vinegar in the rinse will not only soften a little bit it removes any detergent residue in the fabric.
Old remedy that still works., use 30 % vinegar in a spray bottle , use micro towel to spread around then wipe the windows with old newspapers . It collects all the smudges from the windows and leaves a nice finish😅😅

@@billyyank5807 I personally never cared for this method even though the container does mention it. I know others that like it though. I wipe with regular microfiber first to do the real cleaning. I finish with microfiber for glass and the results are excellent.
Try a squeegee with invisible glass and just clean up with microfiber is the best.
Been listening to you for years and detailing for about 7 years. Listening to you I haven't had any complaints on my work, prices or even me so far knock on wood. Love the knowledge and the channel.
How can you listen to this diarrhea of the mouth the guy goes 100 miles a minute all his lips do is flap and he gives me a headache
Stoner and Invisible Glass is made right by my Job in Lancaster, PA. They stopped by a few months ago and gave some of us a case of Invisible Glass. Love using it especially since its local
I started using small squeegees and will never look back. Absolutely no streaks. I'll beat your rags any day.
first knowledgeable comment i have read in here yet thankyou😂😂
Finally someone talking about the lint that gets left behind. It’s been driving me crazy. I’ve been using waffle weave towels from chemical guys and even those leave lint behind. I’ll have to try these out. Didn’t even think about using alcohol to cut through the fog. I’ve been using dawn dish soap and water, sometimes magic eraser to make sure all that fog gets cleared and don’t have any streaks.
Get a glass cloth from Amazon, tight weave no pile, zero lint
(I'm making this up as I types, so this could be stupid but...) have you tried wiping with a coffee filter after? I know that sounds weird but they are designed not to shed any fibers into your coffee. Might knock off the cloth fibers.
@@tomhollins5303 yeah. They are basically lint free towels
Yeah there are better towels. Chemical guys products are middling at best. I get all my stuff from Autopia
Good info, been wondering about this problem, thanks 🙏
Luke, I've been using your 50/50 solution for few yrs now because of your expertise, thank you. Keep up with the great professional work
One of the few TH-camrs I didn’t have to speed up to 1.25 or 1.5. Good job.
Also, newspapers are the ultimate steak free drying "cloth", Great tips. ❤ 💯 👍
No they aren't. They leave ink smeared all over the glass.
@@jublywubly wrong. I've used newspapers even on our home windows and there is never any ink left on the windows and I'm in my mid 70's.
As a teen back in the mid-1970s, I worked for a (brief) time at a local Amoco station mostly pumping gas. One day we had a customer's car in to be cleaned up, and when I was going to clean the windows I asked if they had any window cleaner (back then, it was pretty much Windex). The owner told me that they never used commercial window cleaners-- they used newspaper and gasoline to clean the glass! Then, they left the car open to air out the gasoline smell! Needless to say, my tenure there was a brief one!
Gasoline is a phenomenal solvent, it's mostly fire safety and fume inhalation issues that have pushed it out of common use as such.
@@MalikCarr Some of the older mechanics I know would take particularly grimy car parts and let them sit in a bucket of gas or diesel for a day or two and the sludge would wipe right off. Dangerous as hell but it got the job done in a pinch
I knew the humidity affected cleaning, but I had no idea it affected the glass cleaner. Thanks for sharing this!
Two Tips on the Alcohol:
1. Be careful with overspray. Droplets sitting on your paint will dissolve the wax/sealant. Droplets sitting on some sensitive interior materials can stain &/or dry them out causing premature oxidation. I prefer to spray on the towel to avoid this.
2. Straight IPA+Water can be very grabby as it lacks lubricant. This is more of an issue with warmer temps as it also dries more quickly. For this reason i like to add a couple ounces of M34 (Meguiar's Final Inspection) to my 16oz bottles. It is essentially a pure lubricant. I also use the M34 in my homebrew waterless wash mix.
For years I've only used 2 shop towels. One damp, one dry. Wax on, wax off. No product, just water. Streak-free every time.
This is the best method
I use cheap walmart glass cleaner and it somehow does a perfect job (blue bottle around 4$)
I tried this glass cleaner mix today and it works. Heavily soiled outer glass needed a second cleaning, but the result was better than any commercial glass cleaner I've used. Luckily I had the isopropyl alcohol and distilled water on hand, mixed 50/50. In stead of the special towels that was suggested I used blue shop towels...worked for me.
Good stuff. I've detailed for many years and couldn't figure out why fibers ended up on the glass. Windows have always been my nemesis.
I was mildly surprised when you recommended the same Waffle Weave towels I settled on a few years ago for glass cleaning. Compared to others they are nearly magical. Excellent video!
Where did you purchase your Waffle Weave towels Tom?
Great info! Straight and to the point without a lot of BS. Love it. Well done
I formulated my own glass cleaner earlier this year. It has the following ingredients: water, isopropyl alcohol, 2-butoxyethanol AKA butyl cellosolve or ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, and a tiny amount of surfactant such as Tergitol NP-9 or Triton X-100. It costs no more than 1.5 cents an ounce and works great.
What are the ratio's? Thanks!
@@Virallllllll Here you go.
This cleaner uses 70% isopropanol (IPA) and 2-butoxyethanol (also known as butyl cellosolve or ethylene glycol monobutyl ether) at a 3:1 ratio, along with one drop per quart of surfactant such as Tergitol NP-9 or Triton X-100.
Example to make one quart (946ml) of ready-to-use solution:
Isopropanol 70% solution: 1.5 ounces or 45ml
2-butoxyethanol: 0.5 ounces or 15ml
One drop of surfactant.
To make one quart (946ml) of CONCENTRATE, use 24 ounces (710ml) of 70% IPA and 8 ounces (237ml) of 2-butoxyethanol, and 16 drops of surfactant. This will make four gallons of solution diluted 1:15.
@@NipkowDisk Great, thank you!
@@Virallllllll You're welcome!
I run the defrost
On glass that doesn't have a film tint, just a haze from the passing of time, dry paper towels actually work extremely well. Even just the cheap paper towels at a gas station, bone dry. Worked at a gas dock growing up, and the boss got annoyed at how much Sparkle I was using to clean up boats - the dry method works shockingly well for windshields. No haze, no steaks 👍
The haze often comes from the detergent used to wash the cloths. Most modern laundry detergents are all in one, and include ingredients that coat the fibers of the cloth so that fabric softener is optional. This can leave a haze because the alcohols in the cleaning solution can cause it to break down and get deposited on the glass. Be very selective about the detergent you use to wash your cleaning cloths.
Have you found any good, inexpensive detergents for microfiber cloths? I see a number of detergents marketed specifically for microfiber towels, but I don't want another specialized cleaner if I can just buy something I use for both my clothes and microfiber towels.
@@kirkjohnson6638 You might try some of the "free" detergents, that is, free of fragrance and other ingredients that may produce allergic reactions in sensitive persons. I'd also recommend enabling an additional rinse cycle if your washer supports it. The new formulations for "HE" washers do have some drawbacks, and the reduced water usage of those washers does cause a larger amount of residual detergent to be left behind.
@@jspartacus Thanks! Yeah, I'll give one of those fragrance free detergents a try. I always keep a microfiber towel on my dresser to use for cleaning my glasses and the detergent I have now seems to cause streaking, but it could be that a Bounce sheet got tossed in the dryer.
Tide free and clear works! Hope this helps
Excellent point
Finally, someone that mentions using a second clean towel! First person I have seen mention this! Great video! Thanks!
When this video was finished being filmed, that was the cleanest window ever. LOL!! Good information!!
I just use sprayway. It's a fantastic cleaner, it foams and stays put so I don't get it on other parts, it's super cheap, and it cleans well. IT's also ammonia free so you can use it on tint. Plus I love the smell. SO CLEAN.
White vinegar and paper towels also works amazing just like the alcohol, and may be easier to find around the house
Vinegar is acidic, which seeps into tiny pores in the glass and can make it brittle. I wouldn't do that if I were you.
I used to clean businesses and homes for a living. We used 50/50 water and vinegar with either newspaper or really cheap paper towels to clean glass surfaces and windows. It took care of the yuck from smoking and cooking without leaving residue or streaks.
you did this for a living and did not use a squeegee? It is common knowledge pros only use squeegee 😂😂😂😂
Ahh so I was right! I've been using 91% alcohol to wipe my car windows first then going back and wiping again with 3/M glass cleaner afterwards. Another thing, someone showed me that using a silicone squeegee during the second step REALLY helps in getting the glass clean with no streaks and it works.
Use sprayaway to clean the glass. Then use a squeegee to clean the spray and any left behind dirt. I'd recommend a stiffer blade (the blue colored blades are great for glass).
Easiest way to have excellent glass.
Clean windows with newspaper. It is dry and oil free and will remove that haze and residue from the windows. My grandmother taught it to me
One minor thing that can have a big impact, is don’t buff with force. Buff quick but lightly.
Finally someone explained this pain in the donkey. Thank you for the great explanation. A+
Thank you for being involved
I've been using spray bottle glass cleaners from napa and advanced,, Napa has their own brand and the mequires glass cleaner I use with a regular towl ( small 10 x 12 ? ) and I've got the best results, just keep the towel clean and dedicated to the glass and no streaks with pure clean view, only catch is I've gotta male sure I do it every 3 months otherwise they'll fog up alittle, but very happy with how I do it, been the best method for me for 10yrs,, nice video!
I usually use just distilled water and a waffle weave MF cloth. If necessary, a Magic Eraser very lightly.
There's no other way to say this, but you: NAILED IT in this video !
You are far and away my favourite detail channel.
Good advice, experience led, many thanks.
Wow. I never imagined anyone could create a "Master Class" on cleaning car windows, but here it is!
Thanks to 0.75x playback speed for sponsoring this video.

Gold
Great video Luke !I like the invisible Glass cleaner .I have used it for years. I like the pump spray bottle as I can tell how much product i have left . I have used the 50/ 50 IPA but it can flash really fast if you are out in the sun, but it does get all the mess off of your glass. I also find a good car shampoo with a magic eraser does really well on the exterior glass. I live down on the coast and the humidity will drive you nuts when it comes to cleaning glass!
Mmmm, I love a good IPA.
Doctor said I can’t drink beer anymore. Used to love IPA
Oily film on glass can also come from wetting agents in some paper towels, as mentioned on the can of Invisible Glass. Also diesel fumes and soot from traffic can coat the inside of the windshield with an oily residue. Fabric softener is essentially oils, so that will contaminate any microfiber with fog-causing residues.
I burned calories listening to this guy talk.
I actually found the humidity problem out myself when I was in fast food service with cleaning windows. Great point!
Bro this is a awesome tip and do you think you can maybe make a video on a good way to clean exterior glass and how to get rid of water spots on the exterior glass. Also some ways on protecting the exterior glass ? Should you upcharge for protecting exterior glass as well?
That’s a good question I hope he makes a video about it
Absolutely will
Awesome thank you!!
I have heard 0000 steel wool will polish glass
ive been using this glass cleaner for a couple decades lol. one of the gassing causes is mold release agent on the plastic panels. if you detail at a dealer, like i did for a long time, you get very used to all the cars coming in off of the truck with a ton of this haze on the glass. sometimes i even experimented with brake kleen, naptha, and acetone because this was such a PITA.
I find nothing works better then a pail and a couple drops of dish soap! Absolutely no streaks and cuts grease. Save yourself big bucks on all the products out there lol
Yep yep yep!!
A 100% agree!
I think this was great! Thankx for helping with my windows.😊
Good video and a word from your' Invisible glass cleaner' sponsor as well. I find the foam cleaners to work real well. To initially clean tough glass I just use our household hydrogen peroxide oxygenated solution cleaner or Windex. The day I stopped using Armor all was the day I stopped having trouble with interior glass. Wash micro fiber towels in warm or cold water and never put them in the dryer.
What do you mix with the hydrogen peroxide?
@@aayotechnology I use a household cleaning concentrate product called BIO-OX. Its basically a Hydrogen Peroxide oxygenated concentrate that you mix with water> It cuts any residue on windows...carpet stain remover, everything except wood or leather. I've seen similar Hydrogen peroxide concentrate products in janitorial supply stores. One gallon lasts us a year.
In the late 20th century Volvo cars had a big problem with the dash cracking. It seems Armor All was a major contributor to it.
I detailed cars in a body shop back in the day, when everyone smoked with Windex and newspaper. I have cleaned interior glass that turned a newspaper completely yellow from tar and nicotine and left the glass spotless. That was 40 years ago and still works just as good today.
Disliked for mixed messages saying don't use but then saying do.
a thumbs down button sure would help.
Maybe you just understand what he is saying.
I like the magic eraser and a good glass cleaner even a rinseless wash. Stoner has worked very well for me
For anything super heavy that you can't get off use mckees 2020 cockpit glass cleaner it works when nothing else does (dog slobber, plastic off gassing)
He's basically using a prep spray for windows which works. Carpro eraser is phenomenal
I learned a lot here. Been using invisible glass for manny years, (because it was the first product I found designed to be used on film) and dedicated microfiber, works great. But now know how to truly clean interior glass. Especially when a car is new, during its first hot summer, panels will gas big time and that’s always been tough to get off. Great video
Great video Luke, automotive glass is so hard to get right, especially interior glass. I think you've pulled all of the elements together for spotless interior glass. Keep up with these great videos. I would also like to say that like your style and approach to your videos. You get right to the point and don't add any fillers to flush out your videos. Much appreciated!
He just got a sub from me for those reasons. And, also, no annoying background music is a plus. I wish YT hosts would knock it off with the music while they are speaking.
@@bikeny I have unsubscribed from channels in the past because they start putting annoying music in the background.
I'm just a car owner, but I just squirt a very small amount of Dawn Free and Clear spray dish soap on the inside of the window and clean it with a slightly wet (warm water) microfiber towel. Works better than anything else I've tried. Then I might hit it with the Invisible Glass unless I'm in a rush.
Wipe interior glass in one direction exterior in the other so you can tell which side streaks are on.
Or just use crumbled newspaper like the can says lol.
After wasting money on all different glass “cleaners” and still seeing a haze after, I switched to water with a very small amount of Dawn dish detergent. I usually mix a quart of water and 3 or for drops of Dawn. I’m not talking about show car detailing level, just nice clear glass that I can see out of when driving at night. Seems to strip all the oils off that the name brand cleaners won’t touch and there’s no need to rinse when done. I also use the cheapest paper towels. The stiff paper trifold ones that are used in the dispensers work great. They don’t leave any lint at all. It almost seems like it stays cleaner longer but i don’t have any proof that it does for sure.
Great video! I’ve been using magic erasers to cut haze and then using a cleaner and a squeegee. I’m not a pro and it cleans well enough for me. Thanks for the breakdown!
A detailer that really cares about his work. Well done video. I actually learned a lot here.
Is this sped up or does the guy not need to breathe? Ya know… incase breathing causes streaking.
Back in the 90's we referred to that as buffing the glass. No matter what you used to clean the windows you always came back and buffed it to totally remove fog and streaks instantly.
What if you got ceramic tint, what would be consider safe to use for cleaning?
Yes, as long as there is no ammonia in the cleaning solution or product you're good. Ammonia destroys window tint becomes purple paper.
Not a pro, but I use the old Chris Fix method and it seems to work great. 1) Dry towel, just wipe the window, 2) Magic Eraser, then dry, 3) Window cleaner, then dry. I have not tried the rubbing alcohol mix but I will in the future.
Rinseless wash is far and away the best way to clean glass.
Yep i’ve been cleaning mine with ech2o, works fantastic
Yes P&S Absolute works fantastic
And more expensive
@@NeverComplyEver i use ech2o 1:10, it’s €14 here for 500ml. I can make a liter for about €3 including distilled water. A liter of for example stoner’s is about €11
“Cinch” by Spic n Span has been around for decades and performs as well or better than 99% of the dozens of detailer window products on the market. I’d bet the formulation is closer to the 50/50 solution this gentleman creates. It is also comparatively dirt cheap. Hard to find in some places… I buy mine on Amazon.
I like that you convey a lot of information as quickly as possible. Most TH-cam How To videos are 50% time wasting filler or more. I don't like Invisible Glass. I want a glass cleaner and it seems more like a water based glass shine that doesn't clean anything and is way too slow to evaporate. I don't have tinted glass so Windex is far better.
Newspaper over towels all day!
Two things about Invisible Glass.
1. The Auto and Home versions are IDENTICAL per Stoner. Get whichever one is cheaper.
2. Get the aerosol, not the spray. It works better.
Can you talk faster
Can you listen slower
Listen to this at 2x speed.
@barrymccack6933 can you fart quieter?
I thought this was at half speed.
I'm not a native english speaker and is very understandable and it's not that fast.
I find that a D-limonene-based natural cleaning spray will cut the dirt very well and leave little streaking. If followed up with Invisible Glass, completely streak free.
Great interior glass cleaning tips! What percentage IPA (before dilution) do you use, 70% or 91%?
You don't really need 50/50 mix. A good paint prep after polishing is 9oz of 91% to the rest water in a 32oz sprayer. So you could use that for windows too
Also using a rinseless wash is a good idea to get pretty clean windows without any residue along with using one of those microfiber waffle weave towels to dry it off. Works really well.
That second clean rag is picking up the Amour All from the plastic trim ......... Chris Fix says that interior glass haze is caused by the plastic interior trim out-gassing .
$64.50 for a towel that has a manufacturer's cost of less than $1.00!!!!!! Kind of clickbait scan!!!!!!!

You just earned a subscriber. I am one of those people who when somebody gets in my 18 year old pickup they ask if it is a new truck. Windows have always been a pain. you just taught me why. For years I used windex about 10 years ago switched to Sprayway glass cleaner which does a much better job. I'm going to give invisible glass a try.The different rag idea for applying and final wipe I've been doing for years.

I’ve been using Invisible Glass spray for years with cotton window cleaning cloths with no problems. I wash them separately with no fabric softener or dryer sheets as you should your bath towels. They’ve lasted for years.
I've been cleaning for more than 25 years , Cold water a couple of drops of dawn dishwashing liquid a clean microfiber rag rung out completely with this solution apply the soapy water to the glass & remove with a squeegee for auto windows , I've gotten a streak free clean every time I wash my car windows .
alcohol will work but it causes off gassing when you get the alcohol on or close to the interior plastic.
For this reason I do not use solvent based cleaners on car interior windows.
Thank you for this! I was wondering what was causing the "fog" on the inside of my windows!
Thank you for this!! I have had the hardest time getting my car windows clean and clear. I use a stronger alcohol mixture in the house but was afraid to try it on my tinted car windows. I appreciate the advice!
dilute with water
I recommend getting the Sprayaway SW050, not to get it confused with the normal Sprayaway. The SW050 has a lot stronger foaming action which makes it better over the normal product. We used to use it as an all purpose cleaner/glass cleaner back in an old body shop I worked at. Even the all the glass installers I know prefer the stuff.
I was a professional window cleaner and the best thing for cleaning glass is water and dish detergent.
In Quebec we have a biodegradable soap called Hertels, half a capful in a bucket of water and a microfiber cloth and it's as simple as pie, you go through it the first time, you take the other side of the microfiber and you go through a second time and here is no residue, the glass is super clean without trace.
Dang, glass cleaner and plain old paper towels have always worked perfectly for me for the past 40 years. I guess I must be blessed in that regard.
Ive been using a touch of brake cleaner on a rag for years to cut the offgasing oils from my interior windows. Works great now i think ill try the 50/50 mix
I started using an all purpose cleaner I made for random stuff in my house on windows. 3/4 72% isopropyl alcohol, 1/4 water (distilled for best results), and a squirt of dish soap. It’s cheap and incredible for windows while also working great on general surfaces in the house, stainless steel, and porcelain.
I wipe with a fine thread microfiber and the results are perfect and better than any dedicated glass cleaner I’ve ever had.
Best thing I’ve found is the scrub towel damp with distilled water and clean dry buff towel to follow…. Perfect
As a professional window cleaner for 20 years now, the number one problem with streaks left on glass is because of the cleaner that you are using. It does not matter how much soap you use the streaks are coming from the residue left over from the cleaner. If you notice a fog or haze I call that over soaping your glass. The way you remove that is use just water. The more pure you can get it the better the result. Water in its purest form is looking for minerals to grab on to. The pure water will pull off the soap off the glass and leave your window looking great. I use surgical towels, they are highly absorbent, and have low lint left behind. Because they are used to clean up the blood for surgeries. They can also be used for cleaning glass as well.
I do residential window cleaning on the side. Best way ive found to clean car windows is either 1) a dawn dish soap diluted in water solution. Use a 5" window cleaning brush(like a Sorbo tbar and brush cover) and then squeegee it off with a 4-6" squeegee(like a Sorbo\Ettore handle and channel)(is quick and gets it perfect) then you wont have all the hassle and time wasting of letting something dry and alls you have to do is wipe the edges, which can be done with a conditioned terry cloth towel or micro fiber can work as well. It works in humidity too(FL resident here). or 2) THE ONLY product id ever recommend for cleaning glass whether in a car or home is Sprayway Glass Cleaner. It comes in a white can with blue lettering. Best stuff on the market IMO.
Legit the quickest, tint safe, most efficient, least complicated and even cheap way is the first i stated. You buy the small brush and squeegee(commercial grade none of that walmart crap and NOT a two in one) and its fairly low cost and you will have them for years. Only thing youll have to purchase occasionally is squeegee rubbers.
a car glass repair guy told me that the only way to get the road film and scunge/silicone off the exterior of windshield is to buff it (by Machine) with a fine polishing compound called rottenstone. he gave me some to try its a powder you mix with a little to make a slurry and yes it works awesome.
I always clay bar my windows first then wet towel + product and finish with dry towel perfect windows every time, works well especially for outside where you get lots of dried waster spots difficult to get rid of otherwise.
I do the same thing, only I use a squeegee to remove most of product off window first. And use a high thread count woven white cloth as a finishing cloth. 👍
I used to swear by Invisible Glass except when I moved to Arizona I found no cleaning product is good for car windows in AZ I assumed it was due to the strong UV rays and heat.
Great tips for great results!
I have been using the 50/50 solution for over 30 years. I started using it when I worked at an International Airport to clean windshields on the fleet vehicles. It was the only thing that would cut the jet fuel and easy to use.
From wine glasses to window polishing to exterior detailing or spray waxing..flour sack towels . I use Groit's Best in Show Detailer, followed by Chemical Guys Banana Wax wiped off with these Anti Em's Flour Sack towels easy peasy
