Using newspaper to clean car windows and mirrors

[Phluvcat]

I have been using newspaper to clean the windows and mirrors.

 

Newspaper is effective for cleaning up glass and mirror but I am not that sure if the side windows are also glass or plastic.

 

Side window material is differ from car makes or pretty standard material?

 

So far I do not notice any adverse effect on the side windows but dunno about long term.

Side windows are glass as well. Slightly different from windscreen, as windscreen need to sustain impact, but glass nevertheless.

[Caravan]

Side windows usually tempered glass, front windshield is laminated glass.

If your car is armoured, then the glass will be multilayer + polycarbonate.

soy-based??? edible newspaper?

 

I use the Newpaper and Straits Times. Looks ok, non messy way of getting rid of smears and grease marks. When u rubba the window, the sensation macham got some kind of mild exfoliation effect, hopefully rubba enough times can also get rid of water marks.

 

Today paper seems to be of different material and it dun stain your hands, maybe that is soy-based? Or all papers are soy-based now?
