Mike's Glass Cleaning Tips

[jwgreen6]

I've discovered recently that ONR at the normal dilution works great on windows! I use a MF towel soaked in ONR then follow with a clean, dry MF towel. I haven't tried it inside yet but it beats any other chemical I've used on the exterior surfaces, so far.

I bought this $30 glass cleaner and am starting to think I should have bought the Glass Master Pro.

Another towel option is lint free Surgical Huck Towel, Pack of 12 about $12 online.

Excellent for glass, and mirrors. Reusable and long lasting.

Another quick tip that I've found success with is the old adage

"Less is More"

In this case, I am talking about speed and pressure during the final wipe. I have found that slowing down your arm movement and lightening up on the pressure on the final wipe really helps to get a streak free finish. Let the microfiber towels do the work, not your arm.

I have that Glass cleaner pro ( bought from AG ) and it's great. My arms would get so sore trying to reach and clean the windshield. that thing makes it easy.


Any one ever try and polish a fine scratch out of glass? Is it even possible? I tried once using some Cerium Oxide paste and a glass pad on my DA buffer set to max speed. Didn't even make a dent.

Well I guess I can respond since I bought one.

three different covers. a nappy microfiber, a satin weave microfiber, and a nylon mesh scrubber. The plastic, foam-covered tri-lobe pad is removable. And I'm not sure if it's just the combo, but mine came with an extra tri-lobe shaped pad in case I wanted to pre-load a new cleaning pad and just snap it onto the wand.

Quick question: So on the first wipe, is any glass cleaner used? Or is the towel doing most of the removal on its own, then the glass cleaner is used in slight moderation for the second wipe, and just a spritz for the last wipe? The adage, less is more...

"1st Wipe
The first wipe is to remove the majority of any Vinyl Fog, Smokers Film, Fingerprints, Smudges and Smears. After you make the first wipe, take the towel now holding any residues previously on the glass and place it in your laundry bag or bin as it is no longer useful for cleaning glass."
