I just ran out of Sprayway after I needed to use a lot of it in multiple applications to cut through the grime on the Elise's windshield. In general, it does seem to work well for me when used with huck towels, but at least the last can I had felt a bit less effective than I am used to. Either that, or the Lotus was really grimy, but it had trouble cutting through the normal amount of road grime on the ND as well.
What are all y'all using?
I've been a big fan of Invisible Glass for a long time.
As a smoker, I'll hit the inside of windows with simple green before I use the invisible glass, but I've never had an issue with it inside or outside.
I have some Sprayaway. It works well.
I usually use CRL's concentrate mixed strong. It works just as well and is much cheaper.
Second for Invisible Glass.
In reply to Toyman! :
Sprayaway is CRL made, or was when it first came out 10ish years back. I remember working in flat glass installation and CRL included a box as a promo with one of our orders.
I still use Sprayaway as regular maintenance. For thick grime, I use something ammonia based to cut through and then Sprayaway to clean up. Greased Lightning is also a good option, but not ammonia based

There are a couple of companies that use that name. Mine is branded NikCatcher out of Florida.
My wife and I argue about this. She tells me water w/vinegar is all I need.
I insist on Invisible Glass or Windex cause her crappy mixture doesn't work.
50/50 ratio of distilled water / ISP (alcohol) in a spray bottle.
For those using Invisible Glass, which variant do you tend to use? I seem to have mixed results with it which is why I originally switched to Sprayway.
I use water and a Norwex glass cleaning cloth.

Aerosol can is the way.

I buy the liquid fingerspump spray at Wally World. It seems to work well.
ammonia, followed with a rub down with newspaper print (black ink only) Old Skool
Sprayway user here, too, both in the garage and the kitchen.

Porter taught my dad and I the newspaper trick. It does work great but we rarely have newspaper any more.
In reply to Datsun240ZGuy :
That's more or less why I switched to huck cloths and need to use a "proper" glass cleaner these days.
I use Sprayway. Both the aerosol and wipes.
In reply to BoxheadTim :
Remember the old days we'd toss a ton of newspaper onto the kitchen table, carve up a bunch of pumpkins for Halloween then toss the mess into the trash can? I couldn't find a piece of newspaper in my house today to save my life.
I use Sprayaway too, but only as the first layer cleaner, to get bugs and such off the glass, and to cut the film on the inside. I find going back over it with clean paper towels - one wet with just plain water followed by the drying towels really does the job. The Sprayaway by itself can leave streaks and patches that just don't come off.
