...anyone ever use newspaper to clean the windows of their car?
I told the salesman @ the dealership that I'd clean my car, so
don't have it washed, inside or outside. (you should have seen the Challenger)

Anyway, I tried everything trying to clean the windows, inside.
Even the Amsoil window cleaner didn't work all that good.

Finally, I went to the ol' reliable newspaper and a few rubs here and there
later; clean windows w/no streaks. (kills my shoulders though).........:clap:

Newspaper is very old school but for a good reason, it works. It's the abrasive nature of the wood pulp me thinks. But, so does a good MF and Invisible Glass or any other decent window cleaner. If you get streaks, your rag is too contaminated.

Yes. I was thinking, "Great tip, but I don't have access to that stuff."
...yeah, it would be awful hard to wipe a window
with an ipad or a tablet.............:clap:

...well, my wife for one.
It's a local paper since we live in a 'far out in the sticks' town.

...did this thing do a good job for you?????
I bought a Red one and it was worse than using a micro fiber.

Matter of fact, I bought 2 of 'em.
Now I can't find either one.......................:thumbsdown:

I use the handle and my Gyeon microfibers for glass. Perfect.
