Sonax Glass Cleaner How To with My Method

[Evan.J]

We as detailers are always searching for the perfect way to clean glass and leaving it streak free.

Well I am happy to say I have found a method that works for me and I have been very happy with my results.

I will say that if you haven't used Sonax Glass Cleaner yet you owe it to yourself to give it a shot. With any Sonax product less is ALWAYS more. You never need to use a ton of product and if you are you are only wasting it.

Removes smoker's film from auto glass!

SONAX Glass Cleaner eradicates exhaust film, nicotine film, insects, and dirt from windshields and windows. This phosphate-free formula leaves a streak-free shine for optimum visibility. Use SONAX Glass Cleaner on household glass, too.

Your vehicle is constantly exposed to dirt, car exhaust, and bugs. These contaminants can stick to glass and cloud your visibility, creating unsafe driving conditions and for you, your passengers, and other motorists. Dirty auto glass is especially dangerous when it rains because the oily residue on the glass blends with water to make a blurry mess.

Keep your windshield clean and clear by regularly cleaning it with SONAX Glass Cleaner. It eliminates stubborn films quickly and easily. Use our Cobra Microfiber Glass Towel to clean glass without lint or streaks.

16.9 oz. (500 ml)

What you will need:
Sonax Glass Cleaner
Glass Towel (I use Sonax Towels AG doesn't carry)
Unger Squeegee with black rubber cleaning blade

Step 1.

Look at your glass! You want to examine your glass so you know where more dirt or film maybe than in other areas.



Step 2

Spray a light even coat of the SOnax Glass cleaner over the entire area that you will be cleaning.



Step 3.

Take your glass towel and go over the entire surface of the area you are cleaning. Since I was doing the windshield I went over the entire windshield all at once. At this point we want to use the towel to remove the film and dirty areas. We are not focusing on leaving it streak free. We are agitating the dirt on the glass.



Step 4

After you have cleaned the glass with the towel now spray another light coat of glass cleaner over the area you are cleaning.




Now, take your cleaning squeegee and start at the top and move from one side to the other. After each pass you want to use a towel or a shop towel to clean the blade and dry the blade. On the next pass over lap the previous pass by 50%. Continue this until you have the window cleaned.







I hope you enjoyed my glass cleaning method for getting clean and streak free glass overtime.

Besides having a type of solvent, this glass cleaner
probably contains, at the very least, an ingredient
that is hygroscopic in nature. With that in mind:

Did you notice if the dash/dash material exhibited any
ill effects from being splattered with the excess of this
glass cleaner?

TIA.

I've been cleaning glass like this for a long time with Sonax Glass Cleaner and never have I seen any issues.

Good work!
My go to glass cleaner now is denatured alcohol water mix.

The ability to attract and hold water.

Thanks for sharing your method. It does seem very easy and great results can be attained. I have always dreaded doing glass. Lots of microfibers and Sprayway.

I got a sample of this from Kevin W. at the summer Chicago AG meet, I love it and will buy it once the sample runs out. Zero streaks!
