Use newspaper just like you use paper towels. Very easy.

The ink in the newsprint is like a pumice to help clean the glass. The film on the INSIDE is from evaporation of the interior plastics, you'll get more in summer due to high heat levels.

The ink has nothing to do with it......its the paper which does the magic...its lint free and highly absorbant and thats why it produces such great results.

Spray 20/20 on glass, Wipe off with news paper. You aren't wiping off paint with news paper so save a few bucks on the MF towel.

yep newspaper I just use water on a sprayer. Make sure you don't use amonia cleaner on your tinted glass. It'll turn purple over time

Micro fiber towel!
...but only new ones. Once washed, lint can develop. I find newspaper to be a total pain in the a$$ in corners and such. I know it is cheap compared to 12 microfiber towels from Wal-mart for $3.50, but the towels can be used for other thing after I wash them...

Lint comes from the other items you wash it with .......if you wash it seperate by hand you should not get this problem.

NewsPapers fold into different shapes ..... if you fold a piece into a nice narrow triangle it gets into corners better then anything else.

After washing them and they get lint what else can u do with them ?
