glass cleaners

[john compono]

my 50 roadmaster  glass seems to never get clean and clear. always a film on the glass after I cleaned them inside and out. I used and tried every cleaner possible but it leaves a film and streaks. even when I use newspaper to clean it, comes right back and the glass is not that old ! any help here ? thanks.

My mom always used ammonia.

I know that feeling of a film that won't go away.

Now that I have finally changed out that elusive heater core, I will be trying all the tricks as well.

The chemical you use is less important than technique, imo.

1. use less than you think.

2. the towel/newspaper should be flat as possible against the glass.

3. use clean wipes.

4. use a second towel to dry off the glass after you clean it.

I never experienced truly clean glass until I started using cotton flannel rags after  I had gotten the glass "clean" and allowed it to dry.  Once you get the right lighting to see the streaks, the flannel can be used to dry rub the streaks away. Basically a polishing step, not cleaning, but it certainly works well.
