Stoners is pretty good stuff. I use the stuff that foams, not the spray bottle.

Yup, used them once myself and quickly concluded that they were one of the worst automotive produsts I'd ever used. Tossed the whole container.

As for my favorite glass cleaner - I'd also recommend Stoner's Invisible Glass. It's all I use now.

FTW! I use the "invisible glass" stuff by stoners, it says tint safe and it makes my windows look great.

All the anti-fog wipes do is put a film on that stays clear when it gets moist. Garbage. I use Stoner's glass cleaner inside and out, then regular rain-X on the outside of the windshield.

I tried the RainX anit-fog wipes on my helmet's visor once...two thumbs down. They went in the trash.

Get a bundle of those micro fiber cloths and wipe down your windows with one of those, after you clean them. I use them straight on my glasses and they work wonders.

I don't think anti-fog wipes were designed to clean a window and leave it streak free. That being said, Meguiar's Detailer Line Glass Cleaner is the best stuff I've used. One gallon of the concentrate makes 11 gallons of usable glass cleaner. That's 1,408 oz. for $20 versus like 16 oz. in a $5 can? So, for $20 of the stuff you buy in the store in an aerosol can or trigger sprayer bottle, you'd get only 64 oz. Plus, the glass cleaner works great everywhere in the house too!

Hmm in all my years of cleaning windows with windex I've never had that happen...then again i don't use 600grit sand-paper either...I prefer a paper towel.

It has ammonia in it...the same ingredient used to remove the glue from the tint when it is being taken off of the glass. It can happen over time, since it isn't as concentrated.

It can or it has? ...I'm not arguing that it won't, I'm just wondering if anyone has ever experienced it first hand. Either way, I will reconsider using it.
