um, where did i go wrong? help

 

Was your MF clean???

Have you washed your MF with other towels that had grunge like towels used for wheels, jambs etc??

 

100% clean.. in fact new MFs

it sucks hardcore seeing streaks across my windshield and rearview mirror

all 4 passenger windows game out perfect though...

 

So did you wash these new MFs? Typically you want to wash them before using them.

You also have to consider your technique and what environment you're in. The sun tends to show streaks the best just like swirls but you can get by with halogens.

 

i did not wash them, but wouldn't my passenger windows have been FUBAR'd as well?

anyhow, i'll go out tomorrow with a washed MF and try again

if that doesn't work, any ideas?

 

get some of the glass towels from your local walmart, target, maybe even kmart has them. The have no nap and work very well for me

 

Make sure your not doing it in the sun .. and spritz the glass then wipe it down and polish off the residue all at once.

 

sometimes when I have done my windows in a while I will have to use two sessions, one to get the initial grime off and then go back for a 2nd time to get clean. also the glass towels will help alot too and don't over use the product a little goes a long way.

Stoner's IG FTW!!!

 

i must be hungry. i read steaks

 

mmm, steak...

i use newspaper and so far every time with the TL i need to do it twice. first time to get off the grime and second to clear the streaks

 

i cleaned my windows in pitch black.. only light source was one of those huge light polls

what newspaper do you guys recommend?

i read a bit about that on google and it said to make sure the newspaper i use isn't printed from ink or something like that

new york times?
new york post?
new york daily news?
USA today?

 

You'd be better off with a microfiber TDK. The key is to use very, very little glass cleaner. What you want is something short of damp. Wipe it down with the slightly damp side and then buff off with the clean and dry side.

 

Yeah I am thinking the windshield had a lot of dirt/oil on it that required a little more elbow grease then the rest of the windows. I usually go over my windshield with Stoners more then once in a cleaning.

 

First mistake is cleaning glass in the dark.

My question is did you put rain-x or any kind of car wash wax on your windows or car? If so that might be what's smearing
