What do you guys use to clean the inside of the windows your cars? I seem to have a permanent film on the inside of my windows. Non-smoker and I clean my car regularly, but for the life of me, I cannot get the film off. I have tried every flavor of Windex (and store brands). Even good ol' vinegar and water. It all seems to work at first, but the film persists. Any ideas?

which window is this the windshield, side, rear, or all?

It's all, but the worst is the windshield. The driver and passenger front windows are a close second.

Stoner's Invisiglass. Comes in a spray can. Cuts through about ANYTHING, and stays clean for a bit.

I hate Windex, and tryed all kids of stuff before finding this stuff. Works like a charm, and safe on tint.

At this point, I will give anything a try. Where can I pick some up? I assume any auto parts store.

Yep. Autozone, O'Reilly, and I think even WalMart.

Use a microfiber or terry cloth with it, and don't let it get too wet (cut down on streaks).

If you want to go to the extreme, follow-up with the inside version of Rain-X (anti-fog). NOTHING will stick to the inside (including your GPS's suction cup mount)!

We use this:

Sprayway Glass cleaner

Buzzillions.com

And do not use cloth towels. We use a paper towel made for windows.

It is a good glass cleaner. I once saw them priced at $10.99 a can at Restoration Hardware and Pottery Barn which is outrageous.

If you are close by I can sell you a can at our cost. Just ask for me.

Heck. If you stop by tomorrow after 10am I will give you a can.

I wax the inside of my windows with good ole carnuba after I clean them. Really keeps stuff from sticking.

Ed. Thanks. You certainly don't have to do that. Much appreciated.

I might actually be over that way tomorrow. I will look you up if I make over. Thanks again.

Sounds like a heater core leak to me.
Check your coolant level lately?

That thought crossed my mind also.

I would go that route as well just to be safe...sounds awfully suspicious.

BIG +1 for Stoner's Invisiglass. I use the foam type out of the can, they also sell it in a spray bottle. Use crinkled up newspaper too for best result no streaks. You could also clay both the inside and outside of the glass before, will make it extremely smooth and take all impurities out of the glass.

Only problem I have found with Stoners is if you spay it on hot glass and it dries, it leaves very small white spots. Doing small areas is best.

Sprayway is the best. Stoners is ok.

Make your own glass cleaner

I have found the Very Best glass cleaner, it even takes dog slobber off of the patio window sliding door.

It's an even three part mixture of white vinegar, 91% Isopropyl Alcohol (CVS type) and water. Mix all three in a spray bottle.

All ingredients are cheap and you won't believe how well it works ..
