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!

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

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.

But paper towels tend to leave behind tiny paper fibres on the glass tongue.gif

No, not No Frills. Try newspaper and you will see a difference.

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?
