Just wondering if anyone has any good idea about cleaning the inside of the front windscreen.
I found it's tha hardest thing to do properly when comes to car detailing. I always leave some streaks and only find out when the sun in right in front of u! -------------------- 02 IS200 Lux6MT BneAus

Hmmm, newspaper scratching glass... Newspaper may be able to give you nasty papercuts, but it will never scratch glass. -------------------- |

Will not scratch. Use the newspaper as you would with a cloth. ie scrunch newspaper and dampen by placing it at the neck of the bottle. -------------------- |

Do Sunday papers work better than daily? Am I better to go for a national newpaper, or just a local one? Is the business section more effective than the world news? -------------------- |

If your like me and you have to buy something to clean the windscreen, use CRC Glass Cleaner "A Spankling Finish For All Glass Surfaces"
I swear by this stuff, and "Car Cleaning" is my middle name |
