Nanoskin autoscrubber, I use the 4 inch for the cyclo. It gets into the corners better than the 6 inch. Use their hydrophobic lube, and you'll be set.

Do any of you guys use this technique and if so how does it compare to using a DA with a glass polishing pad and glass polish?
Here's a car that had horrible gunk and overspray paint all over it including the glass and the link to the original thread.

He says you can use a DA in his video, and hes using a cyan cutting pad:

Even AIO, like Mother's Liquid AIO Cleaner Wax can work wonders on glass by hand.
If your going after defects, you going to need big *ss Popeye muscle man arms to get out scratches without a machine (ask me how I know).
Nah just decontamination. For scratch removal I really doubt steel wool would do anything. Anyway I have glass polishing pads and glass polishing compound for that from Car Pro. Just hope no one asks for that service, after reading the thread on it I am not sure I want to spend 6 hours correcting glass.

Re: Using 0000 steel wool on windshield
Had already seen all those videos, I think I saw them all actually Hehehe
I was just curious if there was a quicker way to do it so it could be included in an entry level detail package. Doing the glass polishing on the entire car will take about an hour, maybe a bit less.. So that's a no-no for a 60$ detail. But if I can take a nanoskin sponge and rub the glass for 2 minutes per pannel, then it's doable.

That's how I do it also, never had any problems, in fact always had great results.

If used with something like ONR it won't leave any scratches and does an excellent job of removing contaminants.
You can also quickly go over the windows with a razor blade (lots of lube and at a 45 degree or less angle) to quickly remove contaminants before claying the windows. This is actually used even in very high end detailing.
These methods are normally used during the wash or prep process before detailing.

If you're washing the car with a normal car wash approach then use the Nanoskin Wash Mitt.
You could also use the Nanoskin Autoscrub Towel, either with a clay lube or while washing it with any procedure.
The idea is to get that part over at the time you're cleaning/wiping/washing the car.
