Recommendations Please? (Windows)

Post by latina_qt »

Does anybody have any recommendations on what to use to dry windows without leaving lint and also to get the water stains off?

To get the water stains off, you will need to use a window cleaner formulated for auto glass. To dry the windows lint-free, use a small squeegee. There is something out called a California detailing blade that is made of silicon. You can use it to dry the whole car, and it should do an excellent job on the windows.

I have heard of that too. Some guys that had a body shop told me about that. I've not tried it myself, though. I have a roll of the coarse brown commercial paper towels that I use with auto window cleaner that probably does the same thing as the newspaper. I use that once in a while, but usually drying them off with a squeegee after washing the car does a good enough job for a while.

They guy at Autozone told me about the Blade but I didn't think highly of it because I had never heard of it but now I've been hearing great things. Thanks for the info.! I will be purchasing a California Blade ( I already have the absorber and I love it).
