Anybody else still use newspaper for windows?

I know there are special MF's for windows, but I am still extremely happy with the way newspaper leaves the windows. Crystal clear and streak free, just gotta wash your hands afterwards.
 
The only time I tried it I got terrible streaking and destroyed newspaper :nixweiss:



I just use WW's now, otherwise I'd have to buff until I had serious pain in my shoulders with regular MFs - otherwise it was streak city.



I still struggle a bit with glass
 
too much of a mess for me. i like to use a low nap mf towel (similiar to the old megs ultimate wipes). for some reason it cleans glass better than a plush mf towel for me...
 
I use 2 microfibers for glass. One for the first wipe and a second to buff. This way I don't get any streaking.
 
For a time I used newspaper to clean glass. It was much better (and cheaper) than paper towels. However, the ink stained my hands and the newspaper often disintegrated during the cleaning process.



I've tried several different towels to clean glass since I stopped using newspaper. Right now I'm very happy using the Cobra Glass Towels. They're a waffle weave microfiber towel and they've worked very well for me. I get no streaks and the glass is clean in a blink.
 
I used to use newspaper, but I find that it only makes it harder for me now that we have microfiber towels to do the job. I haven't had a problem so far with glass using the Sam's Club blue microfiber towels. They're cheap and recently I tried using the Walmart waffle weave microfiber towels and for me, it didn't do as great of a job as the regular Sam's Club MF
 
I like the wal-mart houseware section window MF's. While newspaper works well, it leaves a mess on the dash or surrounding panels.

This is exactly what i do and i only use water, no glass cleaners.
 
The MF's I have seem to always leave some lint. I may try a glass specific one some day, but I just seem to get great results with the newspaper. Works good with Stoners too. I just have to be careful and wash good before doing anything else.

Thats what I use Newspaper with Stoners. Winning combo :) I too get way too much lint using anything else.
 
Hmm...no one else uses a sqeegee and Invisible Glass?



I find it the quickest method to do windows, streak free and I can do all windows (inside and out) in much less than 10 minutes.
