....so now is a good time to invest in some Teflon spray and spray lithium grease. Lube window
channels, locks, and weather stripping with the Teflon spray. Lube all the hinges, including hood
and trunk or tailgate with the lithium spray.

Whoever told me to use vinegar water and newspapers to clean the truck windows was right on. That
mix makes Windex seem like grease.

Thanks Greg (I think!).

I'v e never considered the vinegar treatment, but I''ve used newspaper
to to the windshield for years. And old body shop man told me about
that probably 20 or so years ago.

I use half vinegar & water to clean my house windows, to clean out the
steam iron and the coffee maker.

Yeah, the vinegar does great for busting up the calcium/lime deposits.
Our water is drinkable, but occasionally the little holes in the
shower head start to turn white and spray odd, so....

I take it off and let it soak in a cup of white vinegar for a half hr
or so, and that does the trick for it. I never have thought of using
it for window cleaner though. I always thought that was what Glass
Plus or Windex was for.

Sounds like a good idea though. I'll try it..

Half vinegar and half water in a spray bottle. Great stuff. Lots cheaper than Windex too!

Duly noted! But is there a preference to the vinegar?

red, or white?


doubtful

Distilled white vinegar is recommended for descaling marine
sanitation devices, probably works well on glass also.

White. Unless you are really into yuppie salads, then you might try a balsamic vinaigrette.

Just regular apple cider vinegar works just fine as well.
