Sitting here looking out at our rain and fog,and I began thinking about
spring which means cleaning these windows. Anyone else have a problem with
window cleaning where the glass looks great until the sun shines or at night
car headlights make the windows look smeary and streaked.
I have tried windex vinegar even ammonia,but as good as
they look when I finish let the sun or headlights hit them and back on the
ladder to no avail.

Merry Christmas from Chicago

Pros use squegees, and not from ace or HD, an Itialian co Etorrio.
Itorrio { I think] makes them, they last forever as they are brass but
the rubbers go bad, for old windows never cleaned, Bar Keepers friend
and ZUD , Kitchen cleansers work to remonve years of built up damage
with mild Oxcilic Acid, remember trees and pollution etches glass, and
Zud does do well. As far as maybe you dont clean well as a pro , good
tools do the job and I think its Etorio or something nearly. Denatured
Alcohol is a great additive but makes work quick as it dries fast.

IMO, nothing beats a nice Microfiber cloth for cleaning windows. I use
a sudsy ammonia diluted in water. Use fresh warm water.

There is a well known trick that most people use that avoids this problem.
It's something most people learn on their own, but some people need
special coaching, sometimes costing a lot of money and time.

Take it from a pro with a lot of experience,
if it bothers you, don't look at it.

For seriously neglected windows the Oxicalic Acid found in Bar Keepers
Friend, or ZUD work wonders.

Curtains work for me.

I have the same problem with car windows, I clean them once a year or
more with 0000 steel wool and windex and then follow up with just
windex, looks pretty good. I don't know that I would try that on house
windows though as they often have special coatings which the steel wool
might remove. worth a try if you are sure that your windows are just
plain glass (e.g. old paned windows) Have you tried "glass wax" or
similar product? It's NLA from the original mfgr. but Vermont Country
Store sells it as something else now... "window wax" I think?

I wondered about them and finally bought one. For the first time ever, the
inside of the windshield if my car is clean and streak free. I was amazed
by it. They may be cheaper elsewhere but I got mine at www.mysticmaid.com

I dunno, the local car wash uses 'em and my windows still aren't as
clean as they are after my annual steel wool cleaning.

Of course, the interior of an Impala has so much damn plastic that it
probably outgasses faster than they can wipe...

If these are powders; why use them on windows? (abrasion)

Liquids and HOT water do wonders...

As the window washer said to the housewife: "Lady, you're supposed to
look through the windows, not at them!"
