I use Stoners with lots of clean paper towels, then buff the last bits of cloudiness with a fresh micro fiber towel. I keep one in the compartment in the seat base.

I use stoners as well. Great product. The problem must be in the towels you used.

I use a 100% cotton towel that is only washed in liquid detergeant. Make sure not to wash your towels with softener or it may cause streaks.

I always had this prob and the best way to solve it is to wash them in the shade. If you are in direct sunlight, the sun drys the windex before you can remove the film.

I remember Windex leaving streaks too, but Silvergt02 has good advice. I use Eagle One 20-20 glass cleaner with an MF towel.

~One man’s opinion / observations ~

Windex contains ammonia and will turn widow tint ‘purple’ in time.

Cleaning Interior glass:
Wipe glass with a damp waffle weave towel; apply Stoners Invisible Glass™, to 100% cotton Microfiber cloth and rub glass surface with a light to medium pressure (it will dry streak-free / lint-free)

Drying Pattern:
Use a different drying pattern for interior / exterior glass surfaces (i.e. horizontal for interior and vertical for exterior) utilizing this technique you can easily determine the location of any streaking.


~Hope this helps~
