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
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!
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.
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”.
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.
U should honestly sell cars or teach seminars. Your a great presenter and i didn't fall asleep and i finished the whole video. You have a voice and presentation that I actually want to listen and learn. Anyways videos are informative and work.. Ur awesome ..
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.
Whoa you're from Middle Tennessee? Awesome I'm wanting to start my own car detailing business myself! I live in the Antioch area. Thanks, man for your videos you're very knowledgable.
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.
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.
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
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.
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. 🖒
Love it Bro, you Killed it.... You've definitely said the most important techniques in auto detailing.... 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!!!!!!
I start with steam cleaning the glass (only in the warm season, of course). Then I use windshield washer fluid (works on the outside with your wipers, right?). Use one colour of microfibre cloth for glass. Wash them with a detergent isn't going to break down the fibres as quickly. I use Mela Power from Melaleuca which has no harsh chemicals.
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.
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?
Any good ideas on how to buff out a chemical from a windshield? I used a clay bar to start a clean & I may have stained it? Was using soapy water as well. Not sure if they played a roll.
I do in most cases, but I always say here that you need to be careful and let common sense lead. I’ve never had any issues however I’m also extremely careful
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
Here's a question for you. After I've dressed the window with wax, you say it's easier to clean next time. Well, do I need to strip the wax the next time, or can I just go over it with a 50/50 alcohol / water mix without stripping the wax?
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?
This video is very informative. I started detailing in 2021 and I hate windows because I struggle with them 🙄 this video gave me some key tips on how to be better. Thank you!
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.
@@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.👍
Side windows are easy. It's the front windshield that's a challenge. Great info on why windows are a problem with condensation build up and all. I don't spray the windshield to avoid overspray on the dash. Would you suggest spraying the cleaner on a magic eraser before wiping the window?
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?
So once you use the spray wax in the end, would using the invisible glass cleaner afterwards remove the effects of that coating? If so, when should i use the invisible glass cleaner?
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.
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.
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?
@Amsterdamnster Kush and never, under any circumstance, spray bug repellent with deet anywhere around the car, a bit unrelated i know but worth mentioning..
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.
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.
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.
A few drops of dawn dish soap in water works wonders on glass. Also sprayway glass cleaner from Walmart is awesome. Only like $2 a can, and a little bit goes a long way. Hope that helps 👍
I love super clean 5:1 for heavy cleaning and Meguiars APC 10:1 for lighter cleaning. I’ll hook up a link below to my website to help go into detail about this a little more, I think it’ll help you: www.detailingjunk.com/all-purpose-cleaners
2 drops of 91% directly on magic eraser followed by 3 drops of water, squeeze out excess. The dryer the eraser the less water streaks, the less wiping to dry! Bonus, no over spray on paint or plastic. Do big windows in 4 sections, much less frustrating!
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.
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.

"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 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
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

Yes! Let me know how it goes!
What is the alcohol volume %?
What about tinted windows? Would the diluted alcohol mixture discolor the tint over time?
Isn’t Magic Eraser slightly abrasive?
It doesn’t scratch the glass?
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?
Do you use a 70% rubbing alcohol which you mix with the distilled water or do you need something higher?
Any good ideas on how to buff out a chemical from a windshield? I used a clay bar to start a clean & I may have stained it? Was using soapy water as well. Not sure if they played a roll.
The 50/50 mix safe on tinted windows?
Thank you, I can't wait to do my car windows using your teachings.
Can you use the 50/50 alcohol on tinted windows?
I do in most cases, but I always say here that you need to be careful and let common sense lead. I’ve never had any issues however I’m also extremely careful
how do you clean windows that have the after market window tint?
Question ? is it ok to use those cleaning pads on tinted windows or will they damage the plastic tint ? thank you
Does it matter which alcohol? Is gin a good alcohol for the 50/50 alcohol/distilled water solution?
Question for everyone or Wilson!!! Is the ipa alcohol mix AND magic eraser safe?? Does it need to be mister clean magic eraser or does generic work?!
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!
Here's a question for you. After I've dressed the window with wax, you say it's easier to clean next time. Well, do I need to strip the wax the next time, or can I just go over it with a 50/50 alcohol / water mix without stripping the wax?
Dish detergent
Thnx for the video what’s the ratio on the windows
Question can you do this process on side and resented windows?
What cleaner can be used on after market tinted windows that do not contain alcohol or ammonia?
Great video! I tried the alcohol solution with Magic Erasers on my cars this weekend and the glass looks perfect!

This happened to me today used washed microfibres and had lint waste on windows used wire wool to remove it - subbed

Great vid...many thanks. Do you dilute the meguires and at what percentage? Thx
Can you prep window with the water alcohol mixture then clean with 50/50 distilled water vinegar mixture
Hey Luke, any tips or videos that you may recommend on how to remove light to semi heavy scratches on a front windshield Glass?
what do you use on tinted windows?

for the 50/50 alcohol and water solution, is there a particular % of alcohol needed or it doesn't matter?
I use 92%, probably not too important as long as it's about 90%
Side windows are easy. It's the front windshield that's a challenge. Great info on why windows are a problem with condensation build up and all. I don't spray the windshield to avoid overspray on the dash. Would you suggest spraying the cleaner on a magic eraser before wiping the window?
Is this something just for interior Windows or can you use the 50-50 split for exterior windows also?
I was wondering about the exterior window cleaning tips also. The focus was on interior in this video. Is it same process for exterior?
What is name of the wax used on the windows? Do you dilute the wax when applied to window? What is the ratio you dilute it?
What type of slchohol are you using?
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?
Will the distill water alcohol solution be bad for windows with tint?
So once you use the spray wax in the end, would using the invisible glass cleaner afterwards remove the effects of that coating? If so, when should i use the invisible glass cleaner?
Thanks! I now use this method on all my cars. I use the Magic Eraser sheets to get in the corners and behind the HUD’s.
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 info thank you so much will but I cant find the 50/50 solution product can someone tell me the right name product
is it okay to use the Meguiars X wax on interior window tint?
Works great, he has a few videos about that
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 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?
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!
Is this process safe for tinted windows?
if your windows are tinted, i wouldn't have isopropyl anywhere near the car, no alchohol, no ammonia, no windex
@@xsix7324 Thats the impression I have always been under as well. Just checking
@Amsterdamnster Kush and never, under any circumstance, spray bug repellent with deet anywhere around the car, a bit unrelated i know but worth mentioning..
@Amsterdamnster Kush what type of dodge do you have friend?
I am not able to get a hold of rubbing alcohol due to all this COVID-19 stuff so can I use witch hazel (it has 14% alcohol)?
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.
Great video ,really helped me . Don't know why I never thought about cleaning a window like this before.
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.
Is the IPA safe for tinted windows? Or is the alcohol too strong?
Drives me nuts when I can't get my windows perfect.
Amen!!!
Me too. I would be pissed cause windex would not leave it crystal clear. Now I know why
Latin Ace yea but no one uses windex on car glass tbh
I literally can’t because of the sun even at 7pm sunset it still evaporates.
Edgar H252 park in the shade and put on ac and defog it cools the glass and works wonders
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.
Windows have never been an issue for me on cars then again I have been doing residential window cleaning for 6 years haha
so i understand that this is focused on glass, but what about tinted window?
The 50/50 mix should be used with diluted onr along with rubbing alcohol. Excellent combo to lay protection after .
Dude looks like a fit Barry Goldberg lol.
Great video man
I was thinking the same thing. 😆
Great video. A lot of excellent advice I'll be using during my next detail! You have a new subscriber!

Hi! How can I eliminate some water spots on my windshield? I've tried, but I can't get it done.
Which rubbing alcohol do you use 91% or 70%?
2 drops of 91% directly on magic eraser followed by 3 drops of water, squeeze out excess. The dryer the eraser the less water streaks, the less wiping to dry! Bonus, no over spray on paint or plastic. Do big windows in 4 sections, much less frustrating!
Interesting! I agree that the less product sometimes the better! No doubt
