Can anyone recommend a 6 inch pad for my orbital that will allow me to scrub my windshield safely? I am handicapped and do not want to use a standard dishwash scrubber… Looking for my griots cordless orbital to do it.... it’s bug season here in Florida, and after 100 mile run across Florida a couple times a month, my windshield is peppered with small insects, not love bugs.

Maybe this one?

3D 100% Knitted Lambswool Pad 6 in. (https://www.autogeek.net/3d-knitted-lambswool-6in.html)

Or the purple lake country hybrid wool pad?

Glass is incredibly hard and most products won’t touch it. Probably any compound and a more aggressive pad will get stuff off of glass. I’d actually probably use a cutting microfiber pad with a medium compound. But if you truly want to polish glass, you’ll need a product with cerium oxide in it such as Carpro Ceriglass and matching rayon pad, though apparently they only come in 5” pads.

Thanks, I’m not interested in polishing the glass, just getting the bugs off. I actually just cut down my 7” wool hybrid pad that I had for my rotary, and used Windex and the windshield came clean immediately, the bugs are only a day or two old, there were just a lot of them.

Another idea would be to buy a gas station style windshield scrubber/squeegee combo.

You could also try a clay pad for your Griots.

Rupes blue coarse pad would also be plenty stout to tackle bugs and would clean up easy.
