How to Clean Car Windows Streak Free: The Nature of Car Glass!

- How do you clean car windows streak free? It seems impossible right? More than likely, that is because you need to understand the nature of automotive windows and glass! In this video, I share my professional tips on how to clean inside car windows without streaks, and I break down why streaks appear, and how to permanently get rid of them. Unfortunately in the detailing world, it is not what you do for your customer, but what you miss that normally gets highlighted and noticed, and car windows are no exception. If you cannot clean car windows properly, it feels like you might as well not detail the car at all! Follow along as I break down this complicated subject, and show how you can get superior results with just a little know how!

Can someone give this man a prize for spending 20 minutes of his time to clean one window for us.
And god knows how many hours for filming and editing etc
I'd give up my prize for talking for 20 minutes on how to clean windows. Time is money, I think he even says this, yet his videos or something else to watch lengthwise versus beneficial information. LOL
It's suppose to be educational so he's explaining things in detail.
ILMMFAO
"At the end of the day, it's not what you do clean, it's what you don't clean that gets noticed." Great comment
Thank you! I'm 61 and have done my own maintenance, repairs, and cleaning on my cars all these years. I've never been happy with my window cleaning outcome, and have tried everything along the way. No matter what I've tried - they're still dirty or streaky. I watched this video 2 months ago, and did the water/alcohol/(generic) magic eraser step on all our cars that day (I did not do the spray wax step). For just about the first time ever, they all came out perfectly, beautifully clean! And, 2 months later, I would normally have some interior windshield "fog" by now. But, this time, I don't!!! Even in our 3 month old new car that is out-gassing all sorts of things! I am very happy that I found your video and finally, finally, have a process to actually get windows clean, and have them stay clean. Thank you for sharing this information! Rick
Never thought I'd sit and watch a video almost 19 minutes long on cleaning car windows! You are the Detail Master Champion and if I didn't live in central Mexico, I'd get my car to you in a heartbeat! Even the smallest of details don't get away from you! Totally impressive!
1. Spray alcohol/water mix. 2. Scrub with Magic Eraser. 3. Spray again alcohol/water. 4. Wipe clean with glass rag. Works every time. I never use “glass cleaner”.
What volume % is the alcohol?
What glass rag

Can this be used on tinted windows
Hey Luke. You have one seriously great channel to help a regular like me keep my car looking good. Thanks man!
I can't believe I just spent almost 20 minutes watching a video on how to properly clean a window. It was well worth it!
My best advice for anyone watching now is dont use microfiber towels on glass, just use regular old shop towels or terry cloth. You can also buy special blue towels made for glass and mirrors called surgical huck (I think), those work the best by far. I have some that I got from a window cleaning company I worked for years ago and they still work amazingly.
Thank you William. What type of spray do you use? I'd like to make my own.
This 100%. use 1 towel for cleaning and another one for buffing. Easiest way to get a crystal clear result. People love over complicating things
Just tried this method .
After searching for years to get clear clean windows.
This works!! Awesome
Thanks for the tip
Man, your detailing videos are fantastic. I'm not a pro but I do like a clean car. I just purchased a 2015 528i and am looking forward to keeping it perma-clean. Thanks for the vids.
Name dropper.........528i.........
Hi Luke. Weekend warrior here. Found your channel and caught this video. Followed your steps and have to say how impressed I am with the results. The 50/50 mix alone made my windows than they ever had! Thanks for your informative videos. Keep up the great work.
how do i get the 50/50 solution I cant find it whats the name of thr product
Awesome video young man...I have a new to me Porsche 997 Twin Turbo that I like to keep meticulous but I have struggled to keep the windows from smearing no matter what product I use...your video was a perfect description of my problem and an easy (I don't want to steam my windows every time I clean them) solution.
Thank you. I thought I was the only one that got frustrated with the windows. So I stop and got some windex forget about it. After I sprayed the window it got worse.
I'm glad I found your channel.
Thank you, I can't wait to do my car windows using your teachings.
Brilliant video. Easy to follow and really instructive. Thanks for being such a helpful dude.
I’ve had the express spray wax for a long time. It’s the first time I’ve used it tonight. It works!! Thanks, Luke!!
Great video bruh I've been struggling with glass. I guess I'll add this to my detailing Bible 😊. Thanks dude.
Great video Luke. Lots of good advice!
Great video. A lot of excellent advice I'll be using during my next detail! You have a new subscriber!
Thanks Matthew!
North and south for outside windows. West to east on the interior windows. The way our eyes work, I find this to be the best. Vinegar cuts build up on Windows really well. Thank me later. 15 years of experience and a lot of peers beyond my years has shaped me in all the tricks and tips.
Thanks for lots of tips you shared. This is my first time watching your video and I like that you went to details on how to clean the interior windows of the car which I was searching for.
Great video ,really helped me . Don't know why I never thought about cleaning a window like this before.
Love your videos you definitely go into detail when your explaining can tell you enjoy your profession keep up the good work Luke
This is for the intelligent detailer. So much information of who, what where when whys and how’s
Great video thanks mate. That makes perfect sense to prep the window, then detail it. As we do with paint.
I will be putting your method to the test tomorrow, and I can already tell that I will be pleasantly relieved at the results.
Windows can be a nightmare at the best of times.
Cheers bud. 🖒
Definitely! Thanks Ben!
Excellent video. Thanks, buddy!
Good videos. I like all of the details and tips. Great examples for future use

Thank you. You do a great job explaining everything in detail. Also, you remind me of the older brother in the 'Goldberg' show. That even longer talks are entertaining cause of it.
attitudeofwealth lol 😆 just noticed it after you mentioned that he looks like him
Really good video. Congratulations
Dude u r awesome... Love the magic eraser because of u. Wish u were in my area. U have my buisness.

I WANT TO KNOW EVERY PROCESS IN USING THE VX5000 STEAMER, from connecting hose to power supply to accessories, I mean absolutely everything when it comes to working with the VX5000 ... FROM THE VERY BEGINNING TO THE VERY END, Once AGAIN you are THE FATHER OF AUTO DETAILING PERFECTION.....Kill it once more my Broher!!!!!!
Hahahahahaha thanks man!!!!!!
Great vid and clear practical explanation ! Thank You! Cheers from Russia!
Thanks. I wash cars and you helped my get my windows cleaned streak free.
Amazing!! Thanks James
Just came across this channel I am also in middle Tennessee good tips for when I get a vehicle I care enough to put that much effort into.
Amazing video with amazing information
Hah...I love that comment about ppl pushing hands on window to open door, I totally agree!
This happened to me today used washed microfibres and had lint waste on windows used wire wool to remove it - subbed
Thanks for the tip on the mico fiber towels. I just cleaned my windshield yesterday using the magic eraser method and was getting the lint.
Good!
Thanks for car detail tips...
Love this technique, started doing it to my Windows, they were very dirty, covered in water spots, this makes it so much easier, and the clarity is insane
Agreed! So glad!
Luke , awesome vid bro. A lot of awesome tips. I will be trying some tomorrow . My drivers window just got streaky on the outside. Gonna hit it with the 50/50 and then meguiars spray wayx awesome tip Thanks Luke.
Yes! Let me know how it goes!
What is the alcohol volume %?
If you were to dedicate a certain microfiber towel to interior windows, could you use it multiple times / on multiple vehicles before washing it? Or should each job get a fresh one just like everything else.
All i wanted to do is clean my glass :) i feel like i need a PHD in Glass cleaning now lol
The 50/50 mix should be used with diluted onr along with rubbing alcohol. Excellent combo to lay protection after .
Well said thank you, l needed this information
Great job! Thanks for the info & the passion for detailing I've been detailing for 10yrs now here in TN its good to see other people that are so passionate about this & about helping others! I couldn't tell where your from but I would look into Malco products they are very cheap & great products I know the east TN rep very well & nothing but great things to say about their products
Got it! I don’t go to easy Tennessee too often but definitely at least a couple times a year so maybe I’ll check it out when I’m there
1st time im see this. Really great and informative! Love it and subscribed!
I subscribed just because the way you explain things
Good stuff!
Hey Luke, any tips or videos that you may recommend on how to remove light to semi heavy scratches on a front windshield Glass?
Luke, excellent video. It is a very efficient method by the looks of things. I only have one question regarding the use of D156 on interior glass, does it cause any fogging / visibility issues?
Great vid...many thanks. Do you dilute the meguires and at what percentage? Thx
Very informative video. I wish you'd make a video showing how to clean the inside angles of a windshield. I get so frustrated that I want to buy a squeegee.
My tips for the glass...use a waffle weave drying towel for the final wipe virtually no lint is left on glass.
Also always finish one side of the glass with vertical swipes, then horizontally on the other, makes it easy to see what side any streaks are on.
Hope this helps someone.
Ugh what an awesome tip
Thank you sir.
@@albertcarr574 hi, Albert. One little thing I omitted in my tip... if you position your car facing the sun when its lower in sky,
It shows up every piece of dust, mark/streak on the glass, that otherwise appeared perfectly clean when the sun was higher.👍
G'Day mate. Love your work! Is the x-press spray wax safe on tinted windows?
Dude looks like a fit Barry Goldberg lol.
Great video man
I was thinking the same thing. 😆
Great video. Quick question. Can you use any type of spray wax such as Miguiars quik wax or do you strictly recommend the synthetic express spray wax you used in the video. Thankyou
Great video
Thank you!!
Great video, very informative. Is the 50/50 solution and magic eraser combo safe to use on windows that are tinted on the inside and ceramic coated on the outside?
He is very intense. He is very energetic and very detailed!
Whats you think of something like Eraser from Carpro on tinted windows?
A great cloth I have used for windows/ paint and interiors is the Torx disposable polishing cloths. Part#197478 they were so good and strong that you could reuse but I didn’t. Awesome cloth
Do you have any videos on cleaning convertible tops? (: thanks bro love your vids
Windows have never been an issue for me on cars then again I have been doing residential window cleaning for 6 years haha
Wilson, Great video on car glass cleaning! I have one question... Can you use the magic erasure (melamine sponge) on side view mirrors? I have a Toyota Tacoma truck.
My God! Can you imagine him if he’s drinking? LOL, sorry, not being mean, but you are wound up! And now I’m cleaning my truck windows following your advice... FYI, I subbed to your channel.
GOOD JOB
Recently found your channel, great videos and tips!
Is this magic eraser similar to a clay bar, I've never seen anyone use this method yet! I got a new car a couple weeks ago and never detailed my previous car really. I'm trying to learn and get into all of this, but you can sure get overwhelmed!
Hey man! Thanks so much! A clay bar is designed to pull embedded contaminants off the paint, a magic eraser is more of a heavy duty sponge, versatile cleaner. Do not use it on the paint like a clay bar. Two different things for two different jobs
Great video! I tried the alcohol solution with Magic Erasers on my cars this weekend and the glass looks perfect! I'm wondering if there's anywhere I can buy that Express Wax in a smaller bottle rather than a gallon jug. I've only got 2 cars to do and it's hard to justify spending $30 for something that's going to sit around for a long time. Maybe there's something comparable?
Geat info, as a smoker I am constantly trying to get the nicotine off the windshield even though I keep a window open when smoking.
Great content. Thank you Luke. Btw: regarding washing microfiber towels: it’s very important to wash them using straight fabric detergents only. Do not use the type with fabric softeners or conditioners. The softeners bond to the microfiber and the fibers won’t absorb water as well or fluff. They get gunned up. Just an FYI- all the best! Herb
I use All dye and scent free detergent for my detailing towels ect and dry them with no dryer sheets or softeners on a low heat
i detail for a large dealership, i do 500 plus cars a year, so a trick i found for streak free windows is after you use window cleaner , grab a clean rag and a bottle of say Meguire's quick detailer or some body icing, and spray on your windows, wipe with the clean rag, .. sounds crazy, try it
I dont use anything but invisible glass spray I LOVE MY TINT. good vlog
Good trick I have used a magic eraser on windows that are thick with a film from tobacco or vape. The 50/50 water and alcohol is interesting. I'm going to try that out.
The magic eraser is the key to perfecting all windows for me!!!!!
Shit I like that idea bro! Going to try it later today on a detail !
I've NEVER had a detailer get my windshield clean. Never. Huge pet peeve of mine. Enjoy your videos. New subscriber.
Thanks man! Ya that would be frustrating paying for a detail and a bad windshield
Hands down I'd have your glass clean, so easy.
Fantastic
Can alcohol be used on tinted windows without harm?
Not only detailing advice but also parenting advice with putting alcohol in the ear when there's water. Lol totally forgot my mom would do that with me when I was a little guy. Lol thanks again Luke
hahahahaha thats hilarious! Thanks man!!
Something my mom did to clean our ears when we were little was once a week or two weeks. She would take a cap full of peroxide and set it in our ear for about 30 seconds then clean with qtip. Never hurt my ears and I'm 37 now.
Question ? is it ok to use those cleaning pads on tinted windows or will they damage the plastic tint ? thank you
Have you ever tried seal and shine on glass? If so what do you think about it? I used it on my bathroom mirror and it doesn't fog as much and dries alot faster.
I subscribed to your channel. I have one question though. Can I use magic eraser on the exterior of windshield too? Will it remove waterstains and oils without scraching the outside of windshield?
how do you clean windows that have the after market window tint?
Hats off luk
