I make my own glass cleaner:

1 part de-natured alcohol and 2 parts distilled water in a spray bottle.

I spray the cleaner on a clean, white, 100% cotton terry cloth towel, clean the window, and then polish the glass with a dry towel. Works great.

For the windstop, I have been using the Zaino detailing spray (Z6) with a cotton towel.

for the plastic windstop, nothing i've found works any better than 3M Plastic Polish. The stuff not only makes the plastic more optically "perfect", but removed some scratches I had in the thing. You can get it at Pepboys, or look for it at properautocare.com.

Hi,

One neat trick when cleaning the Glass is to clean the Exterior Glass with Vertical strokes and the Interior Glass with Horizontal strokes. This way, you can instantly identify which side of the Glass any streaks are on. FYI...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

p.s.
keep alcohol away from your tinted windows. This includes defogging products like RainX.

So ... the newspaper thing. Is any particular newspaper best? The Wall Street Journal, maybe?

Kidding aside, this sounds like a neat tip, and not one that I at least would have thought of in a million years.
