I've seen a lot of folks say using a glass cleaner and b&w newspaper. This sounds great, but I've got one question....





How?





Do I spray my cleaner, and then use the dry paper to just rub it in or what? What is the actual procedure?



Thanks all!
 
I don't completely understand your question, but you use newspaper instead of paper towels or some other linting cloth. The paper used in printing is highly absorbant, leaving few if any streaks. It is also comparatively rough, which helps remove grime. Just wad it up in your hand and wipe....kind like toilet paper. :shocked



Just be careful as the newsprint will tend to blacken your hands and can transfer to light surfaces if you paw around your interior. A quick wash will do you good.

I guess newspaper works ok, but I think a MF towel does a better job. The news print usually transfers to your fingers. If you use it to clean the inside and you have a light colored interior you could end up leaving black finger prints. I also wonder if newspaper could marr or scratch window tint. I don't know, just something to consider. If you only planned to use newspaper on the outside, you still have to use paper towels or something else for the inside. Again MF towels are the better choice because they're reusable and work better than paper towels. If you recycle your newspapers, you might be more inclined to throw what you used to clean the windows into the trash along with the used portions. :nono



If you just stick with MF to clean your windows, inside and out, and leave the newspaper for reading and recycling, I think you'd be better off. ;)
 
I spray my Stoners Invisible Glass onto the glass to be cleaned. Then I wad up a page from my newspaper and wipe the glass cleaner off.



I have never had a problem with streaking or hazing!
 
Newspaper is a good and cheap way of cleaning glass. But remember, a Gentleman would have his newspaper ironed every morning, so tell your valet not to iron when you need to clean the glass :D
