## Resource

I keep getting asked why I don't offer a dedicated glass cleaner… or what my favorite glass cleaner is. The truth is simple: most of the time, the best glass cleaner is not a glass cleaner at all. In this episode, I'm breaking down my simple method for getting streak-free car glass using DI water or distilled water in a spray bottle. No foaming glass cleaner. No overcomplicated system. No heavy residue left behind. Just the right process, the right towel, and a simple approach that works. I'll also cover why so many glass cleaners streak, why foaming glass cleaners can make the problem worse, how I handle smoker cars or heavy buildup on interior glass, and the towel trick I use when cleaning hot glass in direct sunlight. In this video, I cover: Why I don't currently sell a glass cleaner Why DI water or distilled water works so well on car glass Why foaming glass cleaners can cause streaking How to clean interior windshield haze What to do on smoker cars or heavy buildup When I use Complete Cabin Cleaner first Why the final wipe matters more than the cleaner My hot-glass towel trick for direct sunlight How to get simple, streak-free glass without overthinking it Most people don't have a glass cleaner problem. They have a towel problem, a residue problem, or a process problem. Keep it simple. Clean the glass. Don't leave anything behind.
