Simple window washing method

Sometime simpler is better. I've tried a number of window cleaning products after a wash/detail and have finally decided on this basic technique: I use a foam gun to wash the car. Now, I foam up the windows, wash with my mit then dry with my waffle towel. Guess what - No streaks and the windows are as clean and look as good if not better then when I went through the whole process of using product on the windows after the rest of the car was dried off. I will still use product in bewteen washes if necessary but on my routine Saturday washes I'm back to basics.

What about interior windows?





I do my interior windows about every 2 weeks or so with SprayAway foam cleaner. I lay a large terry on the dash which drapes over the end to avoid overspray problems and use a waffle to clean and wipe. On the side windows I also lay a smaller terry over the door to avoid overspary. I find the foam works better for me since it doesn't run down the window and I don't have to rush. The interior windows really don't get that dirty since even though I am a smoker, I DON'T smoke in the car. I will tell you, while I LOVE detailing, I HATE doing the inside front and rear dash windows.
 
Yea, usually the outside is easy for me to clean. The inside, however, is always a challenge. The little passengers in the car like to draw on the windows when it's foggy :) So far, the method that has worked for me is using some QD and wiping it clean with a CLEAN microfiber towel. I might try out some Stoner's Invisible Glass next time, though. I've heard good stuff about it.
 
For the interior windows, I spray Stoners IG pump onto a MF then clean the glass. I saw the IG pump at Walmart the other day.

My dad and I both go nuts when someone draws on a foggy window
 
taking my sunpass box (automated tolls) on and off all the time leaves some wicked circles on the inside of my windshield. A little IG or something and it comes right off.



as for the exterior, after washing the window with a mitt, and then drying the car, a wipe with a dry mf and everytrhing is clean :D
