Have you ever used a clay bar on your windshield? You might want to try this!

Full video coming soon!

[@tylersweeney22]

yea I knew about this, but I also detail cars lol. clay bars are awsome. try a clay pad for a DA polisher and use it in your windows and then use a glass polisher and polishing pad and your have the clearest glass you've ever seen, hard to tell there's even a peice of glass there

[@ultimateflyful]

razor blade and glass cleaner works, only need clay bar for acid rain and usually razor takes that off also. polishing glass why for what. if it's scratched buy a new one

[@rot_v]

@@ultimateflyful nah, a razor blade doesn’t work as well for glass prep… plus it increases the risk of scratching. You can remove many scratches in glass with sandpaper and cerium oxide, no point in replacing it unless it’s badly cracked

[@abealvarado17]

​@@rot_v yupp I should know I'm a glass I staller. So true no blades

[@NdumN]

​@@rot_v I got a problem with scratching on the inside, I believe it's from the previous owners use of paper towels or something, and it makes the windows fog up super easy... Do you think there's anything I can do about it? Thanks...

[@Roberob1189]

@@abealvarado17 I did auto glass. In fact many of my family members still do. We always used razors. You know how long it would take to scratch glass with a razor. You need glass to scratch glass. Or diamonds etc etc. it would take forever. In fact look at old cars that haven’t had door glass replacements. Look very close, you’ll see faint scratches where the window went up and down a million times. That took so long to do that. Not just one pass.

[@MtnBadger]

People don't realize how much crap builds up on a windshield and the wipers cause microscratches that end up causing permanent hazing. After you bar your windshield and get it clean as possible go ahead and use Rain-X products to protect it from build up and prevent streaking. You can also wax the windshield well which will help insulate the glass surface as well.

[@Maaaaaax-07]

Rain X is over rated but yeah

[@MtnBadger]

@@Maaaaaax-07 Actually, in my experience, it's not. When you clean your window correctly and treat it with rain-x, it sheds water well, doesn't get spotted so bad in cold weather and using the anti-fog inside keeps the fog down. My body shop guy (very talented/respected) swears by it. Maybe you're not doing something right or applying it often enough. But thanks. We all have experience and opinions of our own

[@MisterFuturtastic]

Are you saying to use both wax and rain-x? Or one or the other. If both then which do you apply first?

[@littlejackalo5326]

​@@MisterFuturtastic Rain x AFTER wax will dissolve wax. They have isopropanol, acetone, butane, and other non polar hydrocarbons. Maybe he means putting on the wax AFTER you put on the rain x?

[@east-endjustice7883]

I prefer the purple clay bars all around but use the gray ones on cars with more expensive paint and just take a little more time, but I strongly advise you just get a few cheap squeegee for cleaning glass, I wrap a paper towel or mixro fiber around the handle and also wipe excess from blade, but it not only saves on paper but the results are instant beauty!

[@gtd360]

I don't know what this is about, but invisible glass spray foam and wiping it off with newspaper is my favorite way to clean windows. Use to have a window in a sunroom people would keep walking into because the door looked like it was open the glass was so clean.

[@RICARD01]

Do yourself a favor and get a solid waffle weave microfiber towel. Newspaper? This isn't 1984. Lol.

[@leekendall7155]

Years ago I was a butcher in the UK, we would use newspaper to clean the fat and grease deposits that would build up on the inside of the window glass as well as the glass fronted display cabinets. I laughed at my boss the first time he told me to do it, I thought he was hazing the newguy( there was a lot of it going on😂). But after getting my elbow into it I was amazed when the glass became the cleanest and clearest you could imagine . I tell you, we've forgotten how to do more things better than we've come up with better alternatives .

[@OtissSpunkmeyer]

My grandfather swore bye this. It was the only way I was ever allowed to clean his windows lol.

[@user-cp6jv1hv9f]

He wasnt wrong. Its just horrible for your glass. It leaves major scratches. On the flipside,the ink from the newspaper along with the material and glass cleaner are actually perfect for a streak free shine.​@OtissSpunkmeyer

I've used this product! It worked so well that I used it everywhere around the house even in the area that's not glass !

[@LessThanHandy]

Sometimes, if the problem is really bad, a second or third treatment back to back is necessary - then it'll be at 100% clean.

[@Autofaze]

Absolutely! Usually clay glass before doing the paint.

[@lidlett9883]

I'd suggest you use what professional Glazers aka glass installers use to clean their products. Newspapers and various glass clears like Peak or Windex. Newspaper is a lint free paper that will clean streak free

[@brianb5779]

I found out from professional glass cleaner that their magic recipe is dawn dish soap and water. Leaves zero streaks also. Been using it ever since on any window, works amazing.

[@marshallfox1786]

@@brianb5779 I discovered this as well. I put dawn and water in a spray bottle and apply it and work it in with a magic easer and wipe up excess using a quality waffle weave towel. Then I finish it off by misting isopropyl alcohol and drying / buffing with a fresh waffle weave towel. I do this inside and out, but it especially works very well on the interior windshield to get rid of all of the haziness from gasses being release from the interior materials.

[@stiven647]

That’s fine and all but don’t waste your product. Use soapy water with the clay bar and then hit it with the product to clean it up

[@jackedwards7420]

Yes this actually works; however, I use 0000 steel wool (or finer) it works great! Just Do Not Ever use Brillo nor SOS pads, they are coarse steel wool and Will scratch your windows!! Or better yet use the steel wool first then clay bar right after!! Lastly if you have Window Tint applied to your windows Do Not Use on inside as it Will Destroy your tint film!

[@thewayidoit8895]

I've always cleaned and waxed car glass. I do like rain-x in some cases. In many cases your windsheild and wipers are simply dirty. With a pair of quality wiper blades currently at $50 or more keeping everything clean is more valuable than ever.

[@officialtheory001]

[@michaelnix4494]

You can also use a SOS soap pad, just keep it wet.

SOS pads are a little too abrasive. Get 0000 steel wool and keep it well lubricated with soap or glass cleaner. Preferably soapy water then wash it

[@jackedwards7420]

NEVER, EVER use SOS or BRILLO pads there are much too coarse! Use 0000 or finer wet or dry and you'll be fine!!
