    Haven’t had a chance to try it out yet with a critical eye. I feel like at some point in the past I tried it with the Zap like towels I got from Griots forever ago, but it’s been long enough that I used them I don’t recall how it went.
    I’m honestly surprised it’s an off label use that more ‘geeks haven’t tried yet.

    Re: Carpro Clarify - initial review

    I have had similar experiences. I am a HUGE Carpro fan but this has been the first, and hopefully only, product of theirs I've used that didn't live up to the standards that Carpro has set for themselves and that I now hold them too. I reordered it after a few months seeing if the formula changed or if it was just a bad batch(has happened with Reload in the past) that caused the streaks, it wasn't. Like your experience daylight revealed a clear window with no streaks. But at night, especially under street lights or looking into oncoming headlights...terrible. Absolutely terrible. I even felt embarrassed because I used this on my wife's windshield and a few days later I borrowed her car. Same thing, at night I could hardly stand to look through all the streaking. I had to apologize to her hahaha.

    I use the Carpro glass cleaning towel followed with a clean dry waffle weave. This combo works great with Stoner's, so not sure why I'm getting streaks with the clarify. I plan to keep using it to see if I can get better results.

    Thanks for sharing. Our experience seems to mirror one another. There’s gotta be people who’ve cooled off on this product, because it’s rarely mentioned these days, or maybe I haven’t payed much attention. I haven’t used it since.

    It's probably not talked about too much because it isn't inexpensive. Also glass cleaner is not as sexy to talk about as toppers.

    I have the same experience with Carpro. I had high hopes for the product as I have used and like all Carpro products. I found the product to streak everytime I have used it. I have tried numerous glass products and have found Poorboys World to be my favorite. I always seem to try new products hoping for something better but always seem to go back. Glad I was not the only one to be disappointed with Carpro. Thought it was just me. I like all their other products really well. Their Ceramic coatings are some of my favorites.

    I haven’t had major streaks but there are still some left. I’d say this is on par or maybe a smidge better and also smells better.

    I’ll still be trying new things.

    I still feel bad ass with my Flex polishers as I have tools that are better than my capabilities.

    Both my GG3 & GG6 didn't add up to $400 but that was back in 2010.
