The Art of Glass Cleaning

[Cliffnopus]

The magic eraser is a great idea. I've had issues recently with vehicles that have had new windshields installed and there being a film on the inside of the glass that has been a PIA to remove.

I'd love to take the credit but I got the idea from a Chris Fix Youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axI5Luw0Eos.

Believe it or not,a watersprite chamoi wet and one waffle weave towel works great indoors.outdoors D120 and clean micros maybe 4 per car cause the towels get warm and don't perform really well in the scorching sun.on classic cars with single stage dash boards you must make sure the residual spray that gets on the dash is dried up quickly other wise you will get Presoak damage.

I use steel wool on exterior glass as part of my detail prep during the wash,makes a huge difference than the clay.

I usually water pressure the entire car (especially glass panels), foam the entire vehicle, and agitate the glass with microfiber mitt while the foam is still on, thank god glass don't induce swirls easily (unless you have a dumb ass cleaning it with an old rag repeatedly over time or u got bad wipers etc then YES this will scratch the hell out of your glass from my experience), back to topic, rinse glass again with water pressure and all around the frames especially where most dust and crap stays, and for drying I found thick MF's leaving lent or fibers behind, so probably just use short looped microfiber towels, and the waffles don't usually do a good job for me as they leave glass streaked, I guess the most important thing when drying to use one towel/side for drying, a second towel/dry side for wiping off excess and I use a third towel (which i must make sure is 100% dry) to remove any streaks, YOU will have those streaks even on your car paint, but due to the transparency of the glass you will notice them easier especially in direct sunlight that's why you need to use dry towels to get rid of most streaks !...

Glass cleaning is super easy and fun with

Meguiars D120 or Stoner glass cleaner with dedicated MF glass towel.

If there are hard water spots, I use ceriglass.

BOOM.

After properly decontaminating and coating the glass in my cars, cleaning is so easy. All I need usually is a few sprays of diluted Rinseless wash solution to get a clean streak free window.

If I need to prep glass, I use Poorboy's Pro Polish 2 with chemical and mechanical cleaning then was normally a two towel method. I have been know to clay as well.

I use the steel wool method I find it the most fastest and constant method out there, this method stands up to any job from the cleanest to the dirtiest and that my friends is what us as professional detailer are looking for .

Not easy if you have an extremely filthy vehicle and the glass has hard water spots that have sat for months or acid rain, things can get kinda time consuming in cases like this.

Does anyone use Bar Keepers Friend? If so, what is your method (technique)?
