Winshield Cleaning

Light Breaks Through Yonder Window

If you've tried what seems to be every window cleaner know to mortal man - and have still been disappointed. You are a candidate for the dylithium crystal window cleaner. From the same great company located on Krypton that brought you the dylithium wax - mentioned several times on this web site.

But if you feel you need to stay with earth based products - go with Stoner's Invisible Glass. The Pep Boys will be glad you did.

Stoners

I was unhappy with windex, so I looked around the CAC and found this thread with positive comments about stoners... so I bought some, and microfiber cloths... and WOW! what a difference!
I can't wait to try it after doing the claybar first.

Re: Windogw Cleanin

I have tried almost everything mentioned here and found that nothing works better then good old newspaper and the clear windex.

ALMOST EVERYTHING!!!

But not the Clay Bar, MicroFiber or Lusso Glass Polish. I promise you you'll be amazed when you try that whole thing. I have said that this is for EXTERIOR glass.

Another vote here for stoner's.

Where is a good source for these wonderful microfiber towels that I've been reading about here? I've been using cotton diapers (with the tags torn off and washed seperately with no fabric softener) and been moderately happy with their performance. But they're not so great for removing wax.

there are many places out there: www.AutoDetail.com is one that carries an array of detailing products as does www.neatitems.com. also www.pinnaclewax.com

Careful on your selection though. For the exterior of your car keep the thread count to around 90,000 per square inch.

Lynn, try Gm`s Glass Cleaner (at any GM dealer) and use newspaper to remove it. Also, when you clean the glass, use horizontal motions on the exterior and vertical ones on the interior( or reverse). If you see a smudge when you are finished, you will be able to ascertain whether it is outside or in.

Windshield cleaning

I agrre with most. Plain Windex and Newspaper that is black and white print. What can you do with stone chips?

[Greenie]

Golfy, most glass shops have polishing compounds and depending on how deep the chip is, they can usually remove them.

I used to use Stoner's as well, but not anymore. I have found SprayWay Glass Cleaner to be more effective than Stoner's. It's not always the easiest product to find (I buy mine at a local, family owned parts store) but can typically be found at CarQuest type stores.

The SprayWay Glass Cleaner combined with a quality microfiber towels yields outstanding results.:cool

The guide I posted on here was for exterior glass. Are you using these products on the exterior or interior?

Haven't tried Stoners...but I have used Castrol Super Clean and I am sold....I use this stuff on the whole car. It takes the brownish stuff off the tires, removes everything from the windshield, and it also removes all the wax buildup and everything else off the paint. First time the weather gets good I wash the car and coat it liberally with the stuff then wash it off. It does not hurt the paint, but it does clean it well. Then apply the Meguires 3 step process with the Gold Class. It looks like you can put your hand on the paint and it will just go through...
If your wheels are aluminum it will make them a bit streaky but Mothers Mag Wheel polisher works great.
