C6 Glass Cleaning

I have had my 2008 coupe for about a month now. I have found that when
I wash, I cannot get the glass to be streak free. I hate to be anal
about it and I may be the only one to notice. But I would like to do a
better job. I'm using regular Windex and a cotton terry towel after I
dry the car with a chamois. Any suggestions.

I appreciate the help. TIA.

I use "Invisible Glass", the trigger kind, not the aerosol. I dry with an
old cotton t-shirt then wipe again with a cotton towel. BTW, I hope the C6
has less reflection from the top of the instrument cluster than what I have.
I find that one of the most annoying things about this car.

No problem on the reflection. Looks like I can reach out and touch the
housings of the instruments. Glass prevents that.

What I have trouble with is seeing the display from the radio. I have
to move my head around to see what XM station (factory equipped radio)
I am on or what song is playing.

Thanks for the info.

I had good luck with SPRAYWAY aerosol window cleaner . It is in an old
fashioned looking can . Comes out sort of in a foam consistency and
doesnt streak or leave residue . Runs $4.00 and is a good sized can.

You know I've heard of that 20 or 30 years ago but I tried it once a
long time ago and I got some streaks but maybe I didn't wipe it
enough. I don't know if this still works with color print in the
newspapers now?? Anyway, might be worth a shot to the orig poster.
(I'm biased tho to my vinegar <g> )

I know a good many car detail departments that still use
news paper.
guess the color print doesn't make any difference.
I do use Windex w/out ammonia with the news paper.

REPLY: High risk of scratching the glass using newspaper ; Terry cloths
are safer .
