How to Get Streak Free Windows

Xclusive Autoworks • February 12, 2013

Streak free windows are probably considered the most difficult…

A can of glass cleaner and a cloth on a table

Thing to do, but in reality it is very simple. The trick is knowing the right products to use and the right amounts of product to use. You can look online for all of these guides on how to get streak free windows using this expensive product, or this expensive towel, and there will be gimmick after gimmick. I simplified the process to using affordable and simple products. You need the right technique to get the best results and after years of trying different techniques, I finally found my favorite.

Start by getting the right detailing products together

  1. Uber High Tech Glass Towel
  2. A basic toss microfiber
  3. SprayWay Glass Cleaner

People spend upwards of $10/bottle for glass cleaner when all you need is SprayWay $10 for 4 bottles. It’s used by the professionals when applying tint and other vinyl so yes, it is safe for your tints. The basic toss microfiber can be practically any (not too cheap because it will lint) microfiber. I linked to ones that I use. The trick is to remove all of the dirt and grease off of the window onto the cheaper microfiber before buffing to a streak free window with the Uber glass towel. It doesn’t look like a special towel, but I love it.


Step One – Spray down the window with a fair amount of SprayWay and let it foam up.

Step Two – Wipe down the Window with the toss microfiber, don’t worry about removing all of the streaks just yet. Just remove the residue.

Step Three – Finally buff the glass with your Uber towel to a steak free window

And that is it. All you need for a streak free window is the right combination of products and techniques. Using two towels will give you much better results than one.
