I hate cleaning the glass on my s13 because it seems like I can never get it quite right, with no streaks or anything... I was doing it today and getting frustrated as usual, and then I remembered when I first had my windshield installed, the guy who did it used this foaming glass cleaner that seemed to work perfectly... he sprayed it on real quick and wiped it down, and the glass was perfect. It seemed like it was for commercial use only, it was this metal can that sprayed a thin white foamey substance all over the glass... and it worked better than anything I've ever tried on my own.

Anyone know where I can get ahold of a product like that? ...or if not, anyone have any pointers on getting crystal clear glass?

No, but I feel your pain. I smoke cigars. And can never get my windshield clean. Windex aint nothing. It just streaks and smears.

I guess I should stop smoking.

I think you can get it at some auto parts stores...

I remember my friend had some and it got really goofy with his tint...

Best stuff on the market IMO.

No streaks, no mess. Safe for tint.

Don't EVER use any "colored" glass cleaner like Windex.

So, would you say that this Invisible Glass is measurably better than something like Eagle One 20/20?

I didn't know it was so highly regarded. Makes me happy I'm using something good for a change.

invisible glass by stoner is about the best stuff u can buy at any store, my nebor has some special stuff that works even better but its about 10 - 20$ for a bottle, and u have to mail order it, i forget the name of it at the moment.
