Re: Mike's Glass Cleaning Tips

I've discovered recently that ONR at the normal dilution works great on windows! I use a MF towel soaked in ONR then follow with a clean, dry MF towel. I haven't tried it inside yet but it beats any other chemical I've used on the exterior surfaces, so far.

Re: Mike's Glass Cleaning Tips

I bought this $30 glass cleaner and am starting to think I should have bought the Glass Master Pro.

Another towel option is lint free Surgical Huck Towel, Pack of 12 about $12 online.

Excellent for glass, and mirrors. Reusable and long lasting.

Re: Mike's Glass Cleaning Tips

Another quick tip that I've found success with is the old adage

"Less is More"

In this case, I am talking about speed and pressure during the final wipe. I have found that slowing down your arm movement and lightening up on the pressure on the final wipe really helps to get a streak free finish. Let the microfiber towels do the work, not your arm.

Re: Mike's Glass Cleaning Tips

I have that Glass cleaner pro ( bought from AG ) and it's great. My arms would get so sore trying to reach and clean the windshield. that thing makes it easy.


Any one ever try and polish a fine scratch out of glass? Is it even possible? I tried once using some Cerium Oxide paste and a glass pad on my DA buffer set to max speed. Didn't even make a dent.

Re: Mike's Glass Cleaning Tips

Well I guess I can respond since I bought one.

three different covers. a nappy microfiber, a satin weave microfiber, and a nylon mesh scrubber. The plastic, foam-covered tri-lobe pad is removable. And I'm not sure if it's just the combo, but mine came with an extra tri-lobe shaped pad in case I wanted to pre-load a new cleaning pad and just snap it onto the wand.
