I dread interior glass cleaning like a week at in-laws while having Ebola. I used a couple good ones Meg 1 gallon glass concentrate, blackfire crystal seal is my go to now but I’m just about out it’s like opti seal, Klasse AIO was great but to much work, onr was decent, I have this blue glass no touch polish it’s like the McKee’s a white creamy rub in let haze and beautiful glass just too much work and product. This is what I have tried any insider secrets
 
Distilled water and a VERY CLEAN microfiber towel. Soak towel with distilled water, wring out leaving it slightly damp, clean window thoroughly, dry immediately and buff until streaks are gone with a separate dry VERY CLEAN towel.

Ill reach for a dedicated glass cleaner if necessary but 90% of the time this gets them streak free every time.

Works best out of direct sunlight
 
shooting for 100% on the interior windscreen is part of the problem IMO. I just can`t get there on my personal car. the final dry buff is my problem.. towels bunching and being so grabby drives me to want to hurt myself.
i want a glass cleaner AIO that gives me a sealant or wax that enables some slip on the final dry buff
 
Sonax Glass Cleaner is awesome on the inside of the windows. Have a sticky ability so the run off is very little. And really great to clean the gas out from vinyl dash and nicotine. Also important to have mf glass towels that are washed separately and I like the no nap glass mf towels. If you want a little easier last buff if needed a WW mf towel kind is a little more slick on the glass. Also use enough of towels as once they starts to leave streaks behind it`s useally that they are saturated with dirt and needs a fresh side or fresh towel. So let the glass mf towels do the work and have many at hand. Or maybe a newer one like Carpros where you have a bigger size of a glass mf towel.
 
Polish Angel Diver + Gyeon Silk Mitt/small Gyeon Silk Dryer is the only chance I have to successfully clean interior glass w/o having a mental breakdown.

Have tried waffle weave glass towels, surgical hucks, other glass-only towels...all too frustratingly grabby. Silk Mitt/Silk Dryer is smooth, easy running w Diver...very little product used.

Expensive way to clean glass but sanity has it`s price I guess. Diver also has some form of `protection` in it so maybe that contributes to smoothness...dunno.
 
This is how we clean glass at work We spray glass cleaner on glass , then we wipe with a wet water sprite chamois, then we wipe with a paper towel that was made for windows .Its fast and never any streaks never. You could use a wet cloth and any paper towels I suppose. It works every time.

are we cleaning first then using the Zap as the final wipe?? Or straight up Zap attack on the filth?

No cleaning 1st, you get them damp with warm water, lightly ring them out and BOOM clean windows. It`s seriously some sort of voodoo magic. When I bought my 1st 3 pack I thought "yeah right, these won`t work as good as the description claims" I can`t explain how they work, and how they work as good as my favorite glass cleaner (Scholl Concepts ICE) but they`re awesome sauce. My next order will be the 20 pack. The 2nd time I used them, my window was FILTHY, hadn`t washed it in like 6 weeks and it rained a few times. Tons of dirt and dust. I had some before and after pics, but I don`t know where they`re at. I was beyond shocked. They didn`t last a super long time for me so I suggest ordering a 3 pack.
 
I bought some griots glass PFM’s and best towel I’ve used yet. Used with sprayaway and stoner glass foam. Use medium nap side to clean an then silky side for final wipe. Gonna order a zap 10 pack to give them a try

Hmmm. I picked up a Zap cloth to try for courtesy window cleans on cars at work.

Rinsed it out really well first, squeezed it out so it was damp. Thought things went well on the car I tried it on (normal interior window film, not smoker`s film or anything), until I pulled it out in the sun. Decided it`s better to leave things be than leave them with streaks, so I haven`t tried it since it`s been through the wash.

I should try it again with distilled water as some have mentioned and see if it`s better. So many people love them, it`s gotta be something I did.
 
Griot`s PFM glass towels (or the AZ copy) and then glass dedicated waffle weave mf towels to dry. I use the Stoner glass cleaning tool on the windshield and sometimes the rear windows. I use the Stoner`s silk mf bonnets on the tool (I have like 30 of them). I have a second tool that I wrap a ww mf around to use to dry.

I get great results using those towels and tools using Stoners IG, Sprayaway, and Griots Foaming Glass cleaner.

All of my glass towels are used for only glass cleaning and washed separately from other towels.

The M37 interior glass polish does work very well, but I will only use it if I can get to the windshield without being a contortionists.

If the windows have not been cleaned in some time, I would use two Zap cloths. One for the initial wipe and the second for a final wipe. If windows are well maintained, than one towel should be good.
 
Mix of distilled water , dish soap and rubbing alcohol.
spray onto 1 hand polishing pad. Apply liberally to windows.
Use Chem Guys microfiber towel. Results are ABSOLUTLEY perfect , fastest streak free result I’ve ever had.

Then if I want to polish the glass after I use a mix of white distilled vineagar, distilled water and rubbing alcohol.
i apply the same way with a new hand polishing pad.

AMAZING results insanely fast. I can do entire car ( minus interior windshield in about 7 minutes.
