Great window cleaner!

I bought the new Windex window cleaner that has an extension handle. I can reach all the windows without a ladder!(with help from DH)
We`ve had some rain since I cleaned them and there are still no spots. You must use a hose to pre-wet and rinse the glass.

Gary,
Have you tried a 50/50 of vinegar and water?

I have seen the Windex cleaner but I'm still using the Mr. Clean machine and it does a fine job. DW likes it when I clean them so if she's happy, I'm happy - some times.

An old NY cabbie told me about how they used newspaper to clean water spots off windshields. I use it all the time with a white vinegar and water mix to clean my windows and it works very well.

Had streaks on our rear window that I tried vinegar/water with newspaper. I knew about the newspaper from years ago, and the DW and I are sold on using vinegar for many things. Anyway, I went over that window "ALOT", and still have most of the streaks. I will get back on it when my arms cool off. I have no idea why it has so many streaks. Jim

Just curious, had anyone ever used rain-x on the windows. I'm wondering how it would do.

Good point! I use it on my truck windows all the time but it never dawned on me to use it on the rig. I bet it would work great. Only problem, and it's not really a problem, is that the rear bay window gets very dirty traveling down the road. This may defeat the purpose of Rain-X. But then, possibly just a hosing down of the window would make it all sparkling clean! Glad you brought up the idea.

I have used it and it has worked great. I actually thought I was using window cleaner and wondered why the water ran off the windows like it was waxed. I will continue to use rain-x on my big picture window.

Rain-X?

Here's a funny story....

Three years ago...not kidding three years ago, my son said "hey Mom tell me if this stuff works?" and he wiped a cloth down the middle of my driver side window.

Many months later as I got into my pick-up, I noticed on a raining morning that there was a section of the window that had no rain on it. It seemed dry.

Few days later when all the other windows had frost on them a section of the window was clear....I thought I must of rubbed against the window getting in the truck ( even thou my shoulder does not reach that high, but hey am I really not thinking here anyways?!)

Months later again I notice this spot on my window that I must keep rubbing against when I get in the truck because this spot is always dry in the early morning.....

Ok comes the morning I take time to measure myself against this spot on the window....So as I am driving to work I am really thinking about "why is this spot always dry?"....

....then I remember the time my son rubbed a cloth on my window....now it all comes back to me, so one day while on the phone I asked my son about that day he rubbed the cloth on my window, "what was it?"...

Rain-X,..... and here I am three years later with all the outside elements and the repeated washings and window cleaners used on my truck....that one spot that my son rubbed a cloth with Rain-X on still stays dry on rainy days and dewy mornings.

Lesson learned....I think I will go out and buy a bottle of Rain-X and use the heck out of it.

Jeeeesh Denise!
