    Thank you! I'm 61 and have done my own maintenance, repairs, and cleaning on my cars all these years. I've never been happy with my window cleaning outcome, and have tried everything along the way. No matter what I've tried - they're still dirty or streaky. I watched this video 2 months ago, and did the water/alcohol/(generic) magic eraser step on all our cars that day (I did not do the spray wax step). For just about the first time ever, they all came out perfectly, beautifully clean! And, 2 months later, I would normally have some interior windshield "fog" by now. But, this time, I don't!!! Even in our 3 month old new car that is out-gassing all sorts of things! I am very happy that I found your video and finally, finally, have a process to actually get windows clean, and have them stay clean. Thank you for sharing this information! Rick

    1. Spray alcohol/water mix. 2. Scrub with Magic Eraser. 3. Spray again alcohol/water. 4. Wipe clean with glass rag. Works every time. I never use “glass cleaner”.

    My best advice for anyone watching now is dont use microfiber towels on glass, just use regular old shop towels or terry cloth. You can also buy special blue towels made for glass and mirrors called surgical huck (I think), those work the best by far. I have some that I got from a window cleaning company I worked for years ago and they still work amazingly.

    My tips for the glass...use a waffle weave drying towel for the final wipe virtually no lint is left on glass.
    Also always finish one side of the glass with vertical swipes, then horizontally on the other, makes it easy to see what side any streaks are on.
    Hope this helps someone.

    2 drops of 91% directly on magic eraser followed by 3 drops of water, squeeze out excess. The dryer the eraser the less water streaks, the less wiping to dry! Bonus, no over spray on paint or plastic. Do big windows in 4 sections, much less frustrating!

    I start with steam cleaning the glass (only in the warm season, of course). Then I use windshield washer fluid (works on the outside with your wipers, right?). Use one colour of microfibre cloth for glass. Wash them with a detergent isn't going to break down the fibres as quickly. I use Mela Power from Melaleuca which has no harsh chemicals.

    Great content. Thank you Luke. Btw: regarding washing microfiber towels: it’s very important to wash them using straight fabric detergents only. Do not use the type with fabric softeners or conditioners. The softeners bond to the microfiber and the fibers won’t absorb water as well or fluff. They get gunned up. Just an FYI- all the best!

    Do you use a 70% rubbing alcohol which you mix with the distilled water or do you need something higher?

    Wilson, Great video on car glass cleaning! I have one question... Can you use the magic erasure (melamine sponge) on side view mirrors? I have a Toyota Tacoma truck.
