Windshield Failed the Baggie Test

[Eldorado2k]

I'm trying to learn so why no steel wool on glass?

Thanks

He's going to say because it leaves little bits of metal dust behind which will wind up rusting once any kind of moisture comes in contact with it.. However there's a easy solution/prevention to that happening. Simply have your Master Blaster Sidekick handy as you're going along making sure to blow any dust away from the glass and any trim etc.
And since you shouldn't be using/needing any "lube" for the steel wool there shouldn't be any moisture whatsoever throughout the whole process. Just good clean working.


As far as what you can do to clean your glass at this point: Magic Eraser w/diluted APC as lube. Start easy and adjust your pressure as needed. Good luck.

It'll scratch the pi$$ out of it, that's
why. And: don't let anyone else try
to convince you otherwise!

I'm not going to try, I'm going to prove that Steel Wool doesn't scratch glass.

And this isn't that weak good for nothing 0000 grade, I only use 00 Steel Wool. Lets play a little Mythbusters, shall we?

Dirty glass mirror:



Steel Wool dry:



See those spots?



Piece of cake.



I just cleaned this whole portion of the glass mirror. Where's all the scratches?







It's not what you know [or think you know] it's what you can prove.

[FUNX650]

Yeah, that's proof;
Sure thing...

Sounds about as logical as
no lube for steel wool...but
lube is needed for Magic Eraser.

And since you shouldn't be
using/needing any "lube" for
the steel wool...

As far as what you can do to clean
your glass...
Magic Eraser w/diluted APC as lube.

No soot.

No lube is needed for steel wool. Have you ever even used it? Doesn't sound like it.

Even the directions on the label of the Magic Erasers say to use lube. Have you ever used them? Doesn't sound like it either.

After all this cleaning should the windshield be waxed/coated/sealed after?

If I went through all that effort,I know I would have to put Something on it with the thought it would keep it cleaner longer. That & I like watching the water beads fly off when driving in rain. Been lots of that here lately.

What do you use?
