Does anyone use the ZAINO Glass Cleaner ???
I’m putting in a big Z-order for myself & two friends.
I was thinking about checking this stuff out.
The only INSIDE window I could use it on is the front windshield because of my tint.
Is it worth buying just for that and the OUTSIDE glass ?
I usually just wash the glass with the rest of the car and hit it with Z-6 after the blow-dry.

Yea, I just put a BIG Z-order in today (230-dollars) and I got the glass cleaner to try.
We shall see how it works.
So far, the only Z-product I don’t care for is the tire conditioner.

Where is my super sauce?
After using a lot of brands, I've still yet to meet a glass cleaner that is truly streak-free (including rubbing alcohol - it's 30% water).
I can often get things looking good in the shade but an hour later, when driving in the sun, inevitably there'll be a glare that will alert me to a errent streak.
I've thought of trying Everclear (95% Ethanol - it has less water content). I have not had the chance yet.
I've been recently using some Stoner brand stuff that suggests it is streak-free. Lies. All lies.
Please give us one of your trademark reviews with pics.

word of note - it isnt glass cleaner (as such) but glass polish.
it is an abrasive , and i bet you guys knew that - but just wanted to be sure you understood - and using it on inside windows is going to make a mess.
i would never, personaly, use it on inside windows.
when you are applying it, it dries out on the glass - then when you remove it, the dried white residue flies around everywhere.
it is intended to remove glass etching, rubs, acid rain spots etc - it is an abrasive.
i like what it does, but hate the cleaning up afterwards, since i never remember to use it before i wash and dry - but am in a habit of doing glass last, then i have to wash and dry again to remove the residue . . .also, do a good job washing the glass you use it on, as it is likely to leave an oily residue - a good glass cleaner will take it off . . .no problem there . ..

Ohh....What should I use on my inside untinted windows?
It seems to constantly build up a thin layer of dirt you can only see in certain light, like when the light isn't directly on the glass, but you can see this layer, and it's disgusting.
Windex?
Thanks guys!

I was thinking of calling Sal and swapping it out for another bottle of Z2, but I guess I will give it a try.
I don’t really need it right now, but I guess as the car and glass gets older I will try it out.

I put the rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle (washed out Z6 bottle to be exact)
and I sprayed on the windows...did an excellent job removing the streaks from the inside of my windshield...you know those foggy ones that prevent you from seeing anything...
So that is what I will be cleaning with from now on..
Is rubbing alcohol safe over the rear stock tint? and the rear defogger/antenna?
Thanks for the info on the Zaino...looks like I don't need that yet...

What does using the newspaper do for the window?
I like using white cotton t-shirts (no lint) to wash my windows and to polish my wheels...
but how are u guys using the newspapers?

The use of a crumpled newspaper and soapy water or windex is a window cleaning tradition that goes back to our grandparents and great-grandparents generations.
I've tried it. It works. I don't think its any better then any other technique. All of them (techniques) leave smears at some point (usually when looked at an angle in the sun).
I'm currently using a microfiber cloth and some Stoner window cleaner. After I finish this stuff I'll try something else.
The quest goes on for the ultimate streak-free interior window clean.

I have honestly been happiest with my Rubbing Alcohol and T-Shirt method...give it a shot...I was even able to clean the streaks on my rear window..
Which is horribly streaky at angles of sunlight...however...no longer!!!
Now if only I could figure out a way to stop bugs from flying into my car...seriously, here in Delaware...one ride down to the beach at 8 o'clock pm causes my window and entire front end to look like a giant bug zapper, I was driving last night and thinking about making a HUGE Plastic reflector for the front of my car...like a snowplow for bugs....
what do you guys think?
what are your ideas with dealing with bug guts?
Anyone else live in a mosquito infested marshy area like me?!

Tell me about it...I drive 100 miles a day (round trip) straight up and down Rt 287 in Jersey...and my black 98 3.0 looks like a murder scene at the end of the week. I have found very little that can help it.
Actually, driving slower (65 MPH instead of 80) will sometimes reduce the amount of crap on your car. But whats the fun in that?
