Default I really prefer the Sprayway to Stoner's Invisible Glass. Maybe I'm missing somthing....

How clean the windows get : Same
Cost : Don't know
Ease of use : Sprayway hands down
Interior Damage/ Marking : To scared to spray either around, just spray it on a cloth first


Sprayway foams up as it is applied so it doesn't run. Seems to need less repeat applications to get the windows clean. Did accidently touch the wood with Sprayway once, the surface got cloudy. Polished out with plastic polish. I won't try Invisible glass to see if it does the same thing.

There something I'm missing?

Default I like Sprayway OK, but I think it streaks really badly if the glass is too dirty. So I

usually do my bulk cleaning with Eagle 20/20, then finish with Sprayway and a microfiber buff. I've never tried Stoner's or Eimann's glass cleaners though.

Default since you mentioned eagle one 20/20, has anyone noticed how it has a rain-x like effect?

Ever since I started using the 20/20, I've noticed how water just beads up and flies off my windshield when I'm driving. It's almost exactly like rain-x.

Now, my car did have rain-x on it, but it was pretty much all gone before I started using 20/20.. so perhaps it's enhancing the little residual rain-x that was left, but by now, 10 months after rain-x was first and only time applied, it still does the same beading and flying off the windshield when I drive.

Anyone else notice this with 20/20 or other class cleaners?

I've always hated rain-x, so I don't know. Sorry.

Default I use 20/20 and have not seen that at all.

I typically keep my windows stripped of anything by once a month (in the rainy season) application of One Touch Glass Stripper. I have simply found too many interactions with road crud to make any of the RainX type products to be useful, so I just strip the windshield clean and try to keep it that way.

I use 20/20 on a regular basis for cleaning off dirt before driving (almost daily when it's raining) so the wipers don't grind the dirt into my windshield and when the glass is freshly stripped and cleaned off with 20/20, it doesn't do the RainX beading at all. I suspect that you still have leftover deposits fo the RainX and the 20/20 is cleaning down to that remaining film.

I used to LOVE RainX but got tired of putting it on dam near every night + trying not to use wipers

Glass Cleaner, you can get it at Costco or some hardware stores in the house cleaning area.
