I recently read on RoadBikeRider that furniture polish is good for cleaning up your frame as long as it's not too grimy, but I guess furniture polish is pretty different from Windex.

Don't use this!
Well, after some research I found information that says not to use Windex on painted surfaces. Guess I'm lucky I didn't damage my paint. Shoot! These were really convenient to use too.

I've been using Windex on my bikes for quickie cleanings and haven't noticed any damage to the paint. I think the no paint warning might refer to "softer" paints, like those used on wood.
