Greetings All:

I have had a Pinnacle Clay bar and Lubricant sitting around for way to long. I see clay bar products dedicated for glass only. Can the Pinnacle Clay bar (brand new) and Lubricant be used on my windshield and get the same results as a product specifically dedicated for this process?

Thanks in advance!

For all practical purposes, yes they are interchangeable. The only time I would think twice is with a clay bar classified as aggressive.

Yep. Have used regular clay and Nanos kin products on glass for years with great results.

Nanoskin works great on it too.

Yes you can, also for rims, and headlights

Yes...I use paint clay on auto-glass.
And:
It's even recommended to "break in" the Nanoskin mitts on...Yes, you guessed it: auto-glass.

Great advice guys! Thanks for the topic OP!

I have some Riccardo clay and I want to apply a glass sealant. So I'll be sure to clay first

Point of clarification:

If you use a piece of clay on wheels, do not use that same piece of clay on you paint at a later date.

Wheels are notorious for picking up iron shavings from the brakes. These shards may damage softer surfaces like paint.

Many will use a piece of clay on paint until they determine it is too dirty for paint and then relegate it to wheels.

Just a suggestion.

Thanks for the clarification. I have clayed by rims before, so I'll be sure to mark that piece of clay for wheels :xyxthumbs:
