For a streak free windshield every time, finish your WET cleaning with a final finish buffing using the Wow! Streak Free Finish Buffing Cloths--but ONLY AFTER A THOROUGH WET CLEAING!
Follow these important rules every time and you will get streakfree results on your windshield with WindshieldWow!
1. Avoid cleaning your windshield in the direct sun or in very hot conditions. Seek a shady and cool spot. Why? Because direct sun and hot conditions cause your glass cleaner (no matter how great it is) to evaporate the liquid so fast that dirty residue will be left behind almost instantly. Make sure the liquid cleaner actually stays mostly unevaporated for the entire cleaning process.
2. Choose a good quality "streak free" cleaner (We highly recommend Sprayway Brand Foaming Action Glass cleaner). The Sprayway brand foaming action give superior results every time!
Two Step Technique for Streak Free Results
Step 1: THOROUGH WET CLEANING.
Apply blue micro fiber cloths to both WindshieldWow! cleaning paddles and spray liberally with your chosen streak free glass cleaner (We recommend SprayWay Foaming Action Glass Cleaner) Also spray some on your windshield inside/out.
Apply the paddles to your windshield and perform a THOROUGH wet cleaning of your entire windshield with your WindshieldWow!, making sure to not miss any area. Make several complete passes across your windshield.
Inspect your blue micro fiber cloths as you wet clean, and replace with new clean cloths and repeat the wet cleaning (with additional glass cleaner as needed) until the blue microfiber cleaning cloths no longer pickup any dirt or grime from your windshield. (Note: any dirt visible on the blue cloths means you need to continue wet cleaning)
Step 2: DRY FINISH BUFFING.
Once your windshield is thoroughly cleaned (as evidenced by no more dirt appearing on the blue microfiber cloths), remove the blue microfiber cleaning cloths and replace with the Wow! Streak free Finish Buffing Cloths. With your windshield dry (or mostly dry) re-apply the paddles to your windshield and perform a final finish buffing evolution with the Streak Free Finish Buffing cloths across your entire windshield.
Make multiple passes until the windshield has been completely finish buffed in all areas. Don't stop buffing too soon. Buffing removes any smears left behind.
While this is a dry finish buffing step, lightly misting the windshield on both sides can help with the dry buffing process.
PRO TIP: Isopropyl alcohol in a mini spray bottle handy while performing your DRY FINISH buffing cna be immensely helpful. Lightly spritz some on the windshield or the finish buffing cloths as you dry buff.
Look closely you will see the smudges and smears disappear as the buffing cloths erase them. Stop too early and you may not erase all the streaks. If you don't get streak free you didn't dry buff out the left over cleaner smears!
NOTE: If you still have smudges and smears visible and you are certain you did a good thorough cleaning and finish buffing, your windshield needs a good degreasing cleaning and your glass cleaner simply did not do the job in removing the oily film that was released from the road grime as you did your initial cleaning. Mix up a degreasing solution with a spray bottle of plain water (distilled is best) and just a dash of Dawn dish liquid (just a little). Clean both sides of your windshield again with the WindshieldWow!, using this degreasing liquid first. Then repeat the above 2 step Streak Free technique again as per above.
