Menzerna Polishing Compounds of Germany has set new standards for workability, uniformity, performance, and quality. Why else would Mercedes Benz use Menzerna polishes to perfect the finishes on their brand new vehicles?

another tip

This should be common knowledge among most detailers, but to anyone out there that is new to the craft....

Another useful technique when cleaning windows is to use opposite strokes to help you determine which side of the glass any remaining streaks are on. For example, on the exterior you could use vertical strokes and on the interior you would use horizontal strokes. That way if you see vertical streaks, you know its on the exterior glass.

I use autogylm glass polish with a fine steel wool pad. I works pretty good on removing most of the water spots. I'm still trying to find a product that completely remove all water spots.

Hello, new to the site and hope you can give some advise. Can I use a light coat of Carnauba on my windshield? Thanks. Also, what Carnauba paste do you recommend for the vehicle as well? Thanks again, D.

In my opinion you would be better off to look at some of the sealants as opposed to a carnauba on the windshield. It wouldn't hold up to weather or wipers and the duration would be quite short. Don't get me wrong here I love a good ol' carnauba wax. A glass polish would be even more ideal on a windshield.

Pinnacle Souveran Paste or Sig Series for the paint, and use Clearkote Quikshine on your glass. It will bead when raining, and super clear with no streaking. WOW !!

what i have found to use on glass to clean inside out even with tinted windows is this mixture of using a spray bottle
mix 1/4 vinegar; 1/4 rubbing alcohol; then the rest with purified water
i have used this for over 2 yrs, and always leaves streak free!

Hi guys,

Can I ask if you use only the AIO, or the KSG as well?

Thanks
