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. Ken |

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. AJM '93 Ruby coupe, 6 sp (both tops) |

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. Ken |

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. |

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> ) |

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. -- 'Key ===== |

'I do use Windex w/out ammonia with the news paper.
-- 'Key' REPLY: High risk of scratching the glass using newspaper ; Terry cloths are safer . |
