how do we feel about armoral glass cleaner....

i forgot to order some glass cleaner from patrick last order so i picked up some armoral glass cleaner at target today.....

 

Its nothing special ... bought some once and it got used in the house ... went back to Stoners non-aerosol.

 

Never really tried it but you can pick up some Stoner's Invisible Glass or Sprayway Glass Cleaner locally. I've also read that the ZEP Glass Cleaner is actually pretty nice as well from Home Depot. I have a gallon myself that I have yet to try.

 

try 1/4 of white vinegar to 1 gal of warm water. Clean window with a damp rag. Wipe clean with a dry wadded up newspaper.

 

I also use stoners invisible glass in spray bottles

 

I have found myself venturing away from prefabricated glass cleaners. Im with Miner on this one, home remedies have worked very well. But I stray from the newspaper and stick with .....ahem........paper towels.......Then follow up with a MF.
The vinegar really helps cut the film and eliminate streaking.

 

i saw the stoners, but only in aresol and i wanted a spray bottle....i will check around...for now i am going to give the armorall crap a shot....atleast its not windex....

 

ditto this!

Works like a charm. I do like the MF's better. This is what is used by framers to make sure glass is perfectly clean with no residue prior to sealing in artwork.

 

Yeah...newspaper supposed to be the bomb...I don't like handling newspapers.

While your glass may be clean....then you got newspaper residue all over everything if you don't immediately wash your hands.

Vinegar stinks but is the bomb cleaning tool.

But yeah...sorry never used that particular glass cleaner so I have no opinion.

I abandoned Armor All a while ago so I have no idea if they have improved their formulas or not.

 

is there something wrong with stoners in the aerosol form?

because thats what i have right now, and i think its leaving some kind of oily film on my windows.

thought it was my windshield wipers being old, so i replaced them and its doing the same thing.

and my back window, the rain water collects on it in one giant looking smudge...

 

Dude, Windex FTW. Nuff said.

 

I have Stoners, Armorall, and Windex. The windex and armorall are in the back of the cabinet now, and are heavily neglected by me

 

i had this other glass cleaner that worked great, but i chucked it during moves in college, and forgot what brand it was

 

I use Stoners...but I don't feel the aerosol lasts very long...

 

Stoner's IG and Sprayway GC for me if I don't have the steamer out.

 

Nope .... what are you wiping it off with?

 

im using a MF towel to wipe it off.

 

Has the M/F been washed and if so how? In what? How was it dried?

 

Vinnie, I've got some of the Invisible Glass in a spray bottle. Great stuff.

 

I use only stoners invisible glass

 

Thats all I use .. the spray stuff .. I get it at Walmart for less than $4/bottle ... it goes a lot further than the aerosol.

 

I'm going to try the bottle version.

 

Guys gotta try Surf City Clearly Better Glass Cleaner.........(Next time your shopping online)

 

^ Next time we are on your site...is that you meant...

 

I was using the cheapest aerosol I could find at Walmart. I'm using Meguiar's NXT glass cleaner now, found it on a good sale on the web. NXT is working good, better than the other stuff I was using.

 

it was a brand new MF towel

 

your joking right?? windex is horrible, it leaves a haze and residue that you need to keep buffing off...windex flat out sucks....

 

Um no

 

I use Surf City Clearly Better Glass Cleaner on the car and house windows. My friends always ask me why my patio windows are so CLEAR. Ive tried Stoners and Surf City is much better.

 

Forgot red text.

I use those Armor All glass wipes cuz I'm lazy but it's basicly windex...

Can I get that Stoners or Surf City stuff localy or do I have to order online?

 

^ Stoners you can get locally but Surf City you gotta get online from what I know.

BTW...your current avatar is hella funny!!!

I was just on another thread making fun of this guy!

"We can't do this all day...."

 

the armoral window cleaner is not windex....windex contains amonia, automotive glass cleaners do not....

 

Ahh, okay. I'll pick up some Stoners after school then.

Haha, yeah, I was in that thread too. The I hate the shamwow guy thread in the rambleings. good thread!

 

Which one does a good job getting rid of water spots?

 

All might get rid of light ones but you might have to go to white vinegar on a cloth . If that doesn't work then I have used soapy water and #0000 steel wool ( Keep it well lunricated ) or Barkeepers Fiend if you can find it.
