Polishing windows

[killrflake]

I've noticed when many of the members describe their details they mention how they polished the windows with a PC and maybe Klasse AIO or the like. Most of the time I use Stoners glass cleaner with MF cloth and have been pleased with the results. My question is, is there a benefit to polishing your windows over just giving them a good cleaning with a MF and cleaner.

IMO steady cleanings with a good glass cleaner is all that is needed to keep them shiney and sheading H2O well.

Thanks for the responce jimmie and zoranc. Thats what I felt, but thought there may be some benefit that I was missing out on. Again, thanks

I polish all outside glass on every customers car i do with pc and KAIO. For a couple of reasons

- most people dont maintain the glass therefore its nasty and a glass cleaner and a towel aint gonna cut it.

- just by using the pad itself with the klasse it will remove light imperfections in the glass.

-dont have to do glass by hand

- leave the glass sealed and the water rolls off without turning on the wipers.

-removes light water spots

- helps protect glass from getting water spots.

I use KAIO on my windows as well. One question: I read somewhere KLASSE does not recommend using KAIO on windshields. Of course, I read that after I used it on my windshield . I haven't experienced any problems though. Does anyone know why KLASSE does not recommend use on windshields?

I find that an occasional hand polishing with DP Glass Restorer just keeps them squeakly clean. I dont use/like Rain-X and still have super beading and clean glass.

I use Duragloss NuGlass. Been using it for years by hand with no problems.

From looking at cars detailed by people on the boards I have read a lot of people using KAIO and also DG 501. I have yet to try either

I use IZ Glas wax with a glass polishing pad on my pc.
nice really nice and smooth. way easier to keep clean after that treatment.

DG 501 is my go-to polish on glass. Hand apply, wipe off and leaves the glass oh so smooth. Even better, try claying it first. Rain just flies off when driving.
