I purchased some glass cleaner today at Sam's Club, Sprayway, ammonia free, says its streakless, 4 pack of 19 oz cans for 7.73. I really like it, sprays a foam, I prefer it to the Stoners I've been using, cost is alot better also. Does anyone use this?
 
I used to use Sprayway glass cleaner a few years ago. it got hard for me to find locally, and since Stoner's IG is on every corner, I switched over to it. Sprayaway is a good cleaner though. I'd still use it if it could be found around me.
 
A little unknown fact about sprayway..car brite glass clean is sprayway in a differant can. I used CB glass cleaner for years and never knew it until my rep told me. Apparantly several highly reputable companies do this with products like aerosol dressings and dry foam cleaners. I guess sprayway makes good stuff if other companies want to market it as their own.
 
I use sprayway a lot. I use other glass products too just to rotate but Sprayway is nice.

I can hardly tell the difference between to the two. What is it about the Sprayway product that you find superior, or is it a cost issue? FWIW, my experience is just the opposite of JP's. Sprayway is everwhere and Stoner's IG seems to be found on occasion at Sam's Club.

I'm not a huge fan of the foaming nature of either of those two products for use on interior glass surfaces though I do use them with some regularity on exterior glass and household glass surfaces. I've been using Hope's Perfect Glass for a while now for auto interior glass (2l @ $6 w/coupon) though I'm considering a concentrate such as Zep, Meg's, AM etc.
 
Mr Clean, the Sprayway doesn't streak while the Stoner's I've used I had to work hard not to streak, also the cost is much cheaper, I use it on interior glass also but usually have a large towel to lay down on the edges so the foam doesn't get everywhere.
 
That it works for you is the most important factor.

Glass cleaners streak for several reasons, the one I see most often is when the glass is hot, the cleaner dries before you can get it wiped down. Working in direct sun doesn't help matters.
 
Well don't try Rain-X's new stuff. It streaks like a xxxxx no matter what you do. I've tried other cleaners but Stoner's has worked great for me. I saturate it more on bugs on the windshield and it takes them almost completely off; just a little elbow grease finishes them off.

I wonder, since Stoner's is good with the bugs on the windshield, if it would do any harm on painted surfaces on the grille? I'll have to try this as it is lovebug season here in Florida.
 
Back windows above the package tray are still the Bazzard for me , I even bought one of the yellow gizmos...I think it a stoners thing....it doesnt solve the problem either....:(...any tricks guys ?

Glass cleaner will remove bugs off paint without harm I have done it for years.

I'm not a big fan of the foam cleaners and I never had a problem with IG streaking but I don't use it when the car has been sitting in the hot sun for several hours.

If all else fails, I say use a squeegee to wipe off the cleaning fluid. One of the "professional" types that don't have a sponge attached to the opposite side of the rubber. This way it will fit closer into the joints between the glass and shelf.
You may get a couple lines across the glass, but you won't have the multitudinous wipe marks that you likely have now. (Also, you may want to place a towel under the glass to catch the drippings. ;) )
