How do you get rid of streaky windows??

You need to use a proper glass cleaner and newspaper is the best for glass/mirrors
I normally use Mr Muscle and some newspaper and never get any streaks
Here is a trick for you, if you wipe upwards on the outside and then across on the inside you will see any bits that you may have missed! You can do it the other way of course too
If you have washed your car in this heat its going to get like that, if not streaky then LOADS of water marks, i would suggest leaving washing until later on at night or not bothering when its this hot as your causing more work for yourself
If the windows are REALLY dirty with bugs and grime then you may need to use something a bit stronger

You need to really use some force but if you do it with the right cloth it should dry on the screen as your wiping! A damp cloth is not really the best idea to be honest as it will go smeary
I would say Mr Muscle and newspaper is the best option without spending LOADS of money
When you going to try it?
Probly tomo night as I have a leavin do tonight! Some lucky people of to Oz wish I was leavin this poxy country lol!
Anyways thanks for the advice! Hopefully I will be streak free soon lol!

Yeah newspaper is better than kitchen roll! ive it a go on you glass and mirrors and you will see the difference! It wont leave any bits which the kitchen roll can do sometimes!
