try a bit of vinegar in the water - it's an old trick but it works ;D

Someone once told me that a bit of methylated spirits in the water works... My windows are now smear free.

Happy shining

Washing up liquid does the job for cleaning them use a cotton cloth to get most of the water off the window then get a old news paper and finish them off with that and the job is a gooden try it sam

Try using glass gleam 4. If you go to www.wintecs.co.uk you can buy a sample for £1.00, and they don't charge postage. I swear by it, and so do my customers!!

Buy yourself some scrim and just use it slightly damp and then use a dry scrim to buff up :D

Hope this helps!

Well i personally use my scrim dry as a polishing cloth and use a leather first but different people use them differently. Some people use them slightly damp on their own. Its all down to personal preference really. :D

Sorry forgot to say that washing or boiling a scrim generally softens it up a bit and gets rid of a bit of the lint they have when new. :D

I use a good quality microfiber cloth after squigee, there not only good for windows but many other cleaning tasks like van windows (inside) computer screens etc. ;)
