I am not impressed with Sprayway. While I agree it removes bugs reasonably well, getting a streak free shine is much more difficult, especially when removing smoke residue from the inside of the glass, or cleaning oil and road grime from the outside of the glass. However, if you really like a foaming cleaner, I think Sprayway is comparable to the other leading brands, and will private label if you buy enough of it.

In addition to cleaning better, I liked the fact that CLEAR is not available in stores retail stores. It also comes in gallon sized containers so you can put it into your own private labeled containers, after getting approval from Mt. Hood Chemical of course. We had customers that would come back year after year just to get another bottle of glass cleaner. In fact, several people in the janitorial industry bought glass cleaner from us because they said they couldn't find anything else that works as well.

No I don't sell CLEAR any longer, and I get nothing for promoting it, I just think it is the best, bar none. By the way, Mt. Hood also sells other glass cleaners for less money, including a concentrate that you mix yourself, but they don't work nearly as well.
Hey Brent, Hows about a link for the folks there. If they have a better cleaner I want to try it!!
