Glass cleaner damage?

[John Moore]

I have discovered that auto glass cleaner and a little brushing is as good, and often better than, "wax removers" at removing white deposits on rubber moldings leftover from revious cleanings. Is ocersprayed auto glass cleaner likely to strip or damage wax or sealants applied to the paint?

TIA

-Many glass-cleaners contain some % of IPA as one of their ingredients/chemicals...

-Many folks use IPA to wipe/remove residues from vehicle's paint before applying an LSP.

-You may draw certain conclusions in regards to "glass-cleaner damage"
to LSP's from the above, if you so desire.

-I personally do not intentionally, or otherwise, allow IPA to be applied to my vehicles'
LSP'ed paint-film areas, without taking 're-newal procedures' of said LSP's.


Also:
I wonder what the long-term damage to rubber moldings might be from
using glass-cleaners, (if they contain IPA), for removing white deposits from them.

Is oversprayed auto glass cleaner likely to strip or damage wax or sealants applied to the paint?

Probably not a huge deal, if you want simply apply a fresh coat of whatever it is you're using to the affected area and move on...


Car Waxes and Synthetic Paint Sealants are sacrificial barrier coatings and their job is to give themselves up so you paint doesn't have to.

Sometimes when a question is asked a method of answering it is to put it into extremes... like this,


Will rubbing a glass cleaner that contains IPA over a waxed section of car paint add more protection?



If rubbing glass cleaner over waxed paint doesn't add more protection, what's the opposite of adding protection?


Removing protection.
