Title: Mucky windows Post by: smithymc on July 25, 2014, 04:26:01 PM I can never seem to get smear-free inner window surfaces. I have purchased various exotic and expensive glass cleaners, which all smell the same as Halfords own and all of which leave me with a kaleidoscope effect at night.
What do you guys use? I used to swear by meths, and it was good for cleaning the glass too. Mark Title: Re: Mucky windows Post by: peteracs on July 25, 2014, 10:40:18 PM Hi
Have you tried just a cloth with water on it and then buffing up with dry cloth (+ some serious elbow grease...)? You may find there is just a build up on the glass and the water eventually will help clear it off. I know not exactly the same problem, but I used to clean a large number of used CRT screens and this usually sorted the problem. If there was a particularly bad one a little Cif helped to get rid of a greasy surface, before using just water.

The water option reminds me of a tip I used for cleaning vinyl LPs, especially old/secondhand ones - warm water seemed to get all of the build out of the grooves. Will try a few.
