Question Cleaning your windshields?

This will probably get moved to the detailing forum....but the response rate will be much better in W203 until it does

What do you folks use to clean the inside and outside of your windows when washing your car? Windex?

Specifically, I'm more interested in cleaning the inside of my windows.

Don't use Windex; it contains ammonia and that's damaging to the interior vinyl. Use Eagle Vision 20/20. It's safe and doesn't contain ammonia.

I use Chrysler spray window cleaner... cuts right through the window hazing. Pick it up at any Dodge dealer for half the price of the same product at the MB dealer.

I've been using Stoners Invisible Glass window cleaner with great results. You can find Stoner's products at Pep Boys.

I use Glass Plus. It doesn't have ammonia in it and doesn't leave streaks like Windex does. When cleaning the inside, I first spray it on the paper towel while outside the car, then get inside and clean, to avoid getting overspray on the upholstery. It may not be the absolute best product but if I use it often enough it works OK (I'm not into concours).

I use the cleaner from Griot's garage to clean the interior of my windshield.

I'm told that Stoners runs-out quickly. Is that true? How many times can you do all of the windows before the can is exhausted?

I've been using the same can of Chrysler window cleaner for more than a year (with washes averaging every two weeks).

Stoners is great, but I have since switched to Eagle One 20/20 because it comes in a larger spray bottle, so I don't have to go to the store more often.

It is safe for tinted windows.

I wash my car weekly, do all windows inside and out. I think my 1st can of Stoners lasted approx. 8 months. I also use it on all the chrome interior trim and interior AMG stainless running boards as well.
