What do you all use to clean the inside of your windows? Mine are getting nasty but I don't want streaks. Also, do you use something special on the center console wood?

I simply use a glass cleaner for the windows, and wipe the center console wood with an eyeglass cloth.

If you want a few more tips, check out the Automotive Care and Detailing Forum.

Use Search as well, as a lot of people have had the same concerns.

I'll be moving this to the appropriate Forum in a little bit. Good luck!

For glass, I'll use a product called "Invisible Glass" (from Pep Boys or wherever), and use crumpled up newspaper instead of paper towels - try it, it does the trick!!!

if you have tint do not use any ammonia or harsh chemical or you will hurt the tint over time

Make sure you use glass cleaner that is safe for tint if you have tint!

For the wood, another member offered me some great advice by saying that all you really need is a microfibre rag to wipe it down with. I keep one in the glove box now, and it works perfectly.

except I use MF towels. I like it more than the NXT glass cleaner. I gave my NXT to my mom and took her Stoner invisible glass

Stoner's Invisible Glass or Meguiar's NXT Glass Cleaner. I've used Stoner's Invisible Glass on tinted windows and they work fine for me. Their sold at many auto parts stores and even Sam's Club has a pack of 4 for $10. Use in conjunction with a microfiber towel and it'll be clean and great.
