Vent: My early DIY cleaner mishap with vinegar streaks

Used a vinegar spray on windows years ago and it left nasty streaks everywhere. Now I know to dilute it right and wipe fast.

Actually I've found the dilution matters less than buffing it dry (learned that the hard way too). Streaks happen if you let it air dry at all.

Brushing technique actually changes everything too. @bailey.evan is right about not letting it air dry, but I've found using overlapping circular motions instead of straight lines cuts down on streaks way more than the buffing alone. Most people skip that part and wonder why their finish still looks patchy.

Made that mistake once, never again.
