When you do a detail, do you always claybar the glass in addition to the paint?
Just curious to see how many out there clay bar the glass in addition to the paint when doing a detail job for a customer?
Also do you put any type of protective product or wax over the glass if you are one that does in fact clay it?
Thanks

Yes I always clay the glass. It takes so little time and invariably pulls off so much crud that the customer will notice the difference in water behavior.
I will also usually put a water repellent type product on. Over here in South Africa a cheap yet effective product is called Wynns C-Thru and my other alternative is a product called Insta Finish Bead Off.
The water repellent product, especially on the front and rear windows not only improves safety, but is a real WOW factor for most customers....

I agree with claying glass when polishing, but are you saying you clay glass with "every" wwash?

^ LOL no.... I am saying every time I do a detail on a customers car (almost all of my details are full corrections, and only 1 per weekend) I will clay the glass as well.
On my own car, I will periodically clean/clay/polish/seal the glass, as is needed.

I always clay the glass. Hover you ever felt the rear window of an SUV? Loaded with contamination.
I offer glass coatings

•Just like auto-paint...auto-glass also gets "The Baggie Test" prior to ever being clayed by me.
•When auto-glass claying is needed, I usually opt for one
of the many differently-"branded": Rubberized-clay-blocks.
-IMO: They seem to provide for a more efficient "claying process" on auto-glass than regular auto clays. And:
-Since auto-glass is much harder than auto-paint:
There's less trepidation of marring-up their surfaces.
Other auto-glass "decontaminators" I'll use:
•Meguiar's M04
•Bon Ami
•Barkeeper's Friend
•Glass stovetop cleaners. Note: These glass stovetop cleaning products also leave a RainX-type of water repellant on auto-glass...at a much lower price-point!
_______________________________________________
Keep in mind that:
•Decontamination of auto-glass will not improve upon, or remove, any existing blemishes that are in the auto-glass surfaces...
-That usually takes dedicated auto-glass polishes/pads,
and a polisher.

Generally, I wash them, then just polish without claying them if they are not too bad. This is only because it's glass and not softer paint/clear coat.
This method is cutting a corner, however sometimes there is a time crunch.

I decon glass anytime I decon paint. Only takes a couple minutes with the nanoskin autoscrub pad and the difference in beading is immediately noticable.
