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
Hope this helps!

What difference does it make being washed or not

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.

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.

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.
