Car Window Cleaning

Hi I know you guys can recommend homemade or cheap things, so I was wondering if you can recommend something for my cars windscreen? Front and back.

Vinegar would be the obvious answer

Normal Malt vinegar? Would I need to dilute it?

White vinegar is the norm.

Google Vinegar glass cleaner. There are varying opinions on what mix to use but some say half water half white vinegar

If you haven't got vinegar in, have you got stardrops?

My trusty e-cloths.... no product required!

Thanks for the reminder... I need to do the insides of the windscreen and fill the washer bottle!

Both Stardrops (liquid magic and could shift Staines from Surrey) and white vinegar. I use a third each of Stardrops, white vinegar and water in an old sprayer bottle.

See the main Stardrops thread ...

I do mine with AutoGlym glass polish. Can be abit pricey if bought from Halfords or something but the glass is crystal clean after this stuff if used right ie not too much as that creates dusty residue. Cheapest alternative is a small pot of hot water, a cloth and some elbow grease then rub like the hammers drying it with scrunched up newspaper, about one sheet per window, 2 for windscreen and rear etc
