      Just to note, Meguiar's doesn't endorse or recommend using newspaper for cleaning glass when there are better options available.

      The newspaper recommendation is a method used and talked about but that doesn't make it a great way or even a good way to clean windows.

      Newspapers are at their core paper paper that tends to be clean and dry and for the most part abundant and free if you know where to look and cheap to buy if you look at them as wiping cloths instead of information compared to paper towels.

      It's completely possible that the entire "use newspaper to clean glass" recommendation came about because as an abundant, cheap/free source of clean, (not including the ink), dry paper towels of sorts, it could just be this is the accurate history behind why people use newspapers to clean and dry glass. Because newspaper is free and abundant, not because they're actually good at cleaning glass as compared to glass cleaning towels.

      Does using newspapers to dry glass work? Yes. Is newspaper the best option for a wiping cloth? No. There are better wiping cloth options on the market even clean cotton towels work.

            I have had really good luck with the Buff-N-Shine glass cleaning towels that ADS sells. Used it last night on my Volvo and I was highly impressed with the clarity of the windows afterwards. The newspaper thing never worked for me, but the Buff-N-Shine did very well.

            EDIT: Used it with the Stoners Invisible Glass trigger spray. Need to use that before opening the Megs Glass Cleaner concentrate.
