The problem with streaking all comes down to what rag/cloth you are using.

Gotta use rags that feel really dry and rough (towels, flannelet etc)

not smooth or soft...

Best method i have found is.....

Use 2 rags, spray glass and wipe with first rag till most of window cleaner gone...doesn't have to be perfect then spray the glass again but a bit less and wipe with second rag until dry and all streaks gone.

the more dry your rags are the better the result

:(

All of the above works but if you want it looking really wicked then let whatever you have used fully dry, then get yourself one of those microfibre dust cloths (got mine in a $2 shop for... $2 :) ) It also works really wicked on your paint work, makes it come up as if you had it cut and polished, everything needs to be completely dry to do it properly. I have one for my windows, one for the paint work and one for the mags :P

very mild soapy water on window tint only I wouldn't trust anyhting else, especially if you don't know what quality tinting film you have..

+1 for newspaper and vinegar...

Although after washing my car I usually stop by the servo and use their paper towels and if your careful you don't get the lint effect...

i use this window cleaning foam and a special square like pillow made for cleaning car windows it is soft but slightly Abrasive after i rub the foam of with it i go over it with a micro fibre cloth. After that they are pretty much crystal.

Oh and i got both products from supercheap auto.

phenline i think i have both the products you are talking about! i found the spray worked awsome sometimes and others it streaked really bad...figured i was using to much of it. I may have to try it with a 2nd cloth to wipe at the end and see how i go.

In regards to metho i think it stuffed my rear window tint(old man put it in my washer bottle) the tint likes whiteish from the inside but i noticed it not long after i got the car so i dont know if it was like it when i got it.

is metho bad for window tint?

Metho is a window cleaner, as I read last time.

But I would not use it on your window tint.

I ment clean the outside of the windows with metho don't rub it in on the inside where your tint is.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
