    more for my mirrors, but I need some help.

    Any tips that work for you in cleaning mirrors and glass during winter that doesnt streak or otherwise freeze up while cleaning them off?

    Use the aerosol cleaner too. it works for me, but the anti freeze deal would be cheaper ! never heard that one. learn something on here everytime I get on

    Clindo. It's at pilot for like $4. Best stuff ever invented. Great for winter AND summer. It burns the bugs right off and cleans the salt off very well with no streaking.

    Turn on the mirror heaters till they dry and use a dry paper towel. Works wonders.

    All great ideas/suggestions. By a far the best window cleaner I've EVER seen ( won't help w/freezing tho') is Sprayaway. White can...cheap...Wal Fart, Ace hardware, etc. Works killer on everything...grease, hands if need be, steering wheel/dash crap...smells good too.
