Cleaning Windows

[Rip3z]

How do you do it?

What do you use?

Any tips for keeping them clean?

 

[Alan]

Megs NXT glass cleaner, then AG glass polish inside and out.

 

[_Kenny_]

I chamois them first (inside and out), making sure I don't transfer any dirt and that the chamois is always clean, then I use Autoglym Glass cleaner. Does the job

 

[Alan]

Kenny step your game up son lol ^^

 

[_Kenny_]

lol, that Meguiars stuff good mate?

 

[Rich]

AG Glass cleaner on the outside and them wax with what ever I am using on the car at the time.

Inside glass, Autoglym Fast glass and a microfiber glass cloth.

 

[Alan]

Aye it seems to be quite good, though when doing the dynamique on the inside due to the tints, i used Auto Glym fast glass which is one of best and safest for cleaning acrylic tinted windows....

R-Jay you wanna take this outside....lol

 

[Rich]

See you at the FCS in a window clean off

AG Fast Glass - Newspaper.

I use Auto Glym fast glass, works well. But can never get the inside of the front window screen mint clean, it shows all smear marks when the suns shines on it

whatever window cleaner the mother has applied with some kitchen roll

Thats is the biggest pain are in a car ever, thats the one bit I hate. Try AG glass polish in the inside, takes some time, but seems to work well.

 

[theduck]

a dry cloth works pretty well

 

[jockclio9]

Very V hot water and some news paper then a wee coat of wax for a shine...

 

[clio__chris]

when u say wax do u just mean normal wax used on the paintwork?

 

[Kev_md]

haven't used the AG polish for a bit due to all the little white bits going everywhere when you wipe off will try it tomorrow, would you use fast glass after?

 

[LegoHead]

i tried vinegar yesterday, not as good as car shampoo and a good old scrub. plus i have used AG thingy polish and it worked really well.

Really work the AG polish in by pc and its a doddle to remove, no dusting!

won't really be able to use the PC on the inside front window??

 

[Rich]

Jay - nice and thin with a foam pad, and it shouldnt dust. Should be no need to follow up with Fast Glass, a clean MF cloth should be enough.

 

[Jay]

Coolio, guess what I'm doing tomorrow then....

 

[Rich]

I'd say buffing! lol

 

[Jay]

ha ha yeah, gonna get the old clay and PC out

 

[Rich]

Hope the weathers good for you. Managed a coat of wax on mine this morning.

 

[Jay]

me too! it hasn't been polished or waxed since mid October!!

it's been to cold for me really needs doing!

how do you people afford some much cleaning stuff... i thought i spent alot, but it seems a minute amount compared to the list of products u guys have!

 

[CraigM]

Best way I have ever found for cleaning windows is alcohol and plain white kitchen towel.
Mix 70% alcohol with 30% water and spray it on the windows and use the kitchen towel to wipe it off. The water does the cleaning and the alcohol evaporates quickly leaving a smear free finish very easily - it also sterilisesd the windows!!
It works better than Auto Glym, Meguars and Zymol glass cleaners.

 

[Gareth]

damp / semi wet newspaper followed by dry newspaper does the job well.

 

[Liam]

aint that messy? surely glass polish easy as...?

 

[Jay]

Used the AG glass polish today, haven't used it for about a year! only put a thin layer on the inside windows, worked really well (forgot how good it was). No dust over all the dash after either. I guess the proof is in the pudding, I'll wait for the sun to shine through and see if there's any smear marks

Buy little and often. But saying that I spent about £250 on products last year in one go, ok there's no need to spend that much but I bought 5/6 different waxes and polish's, wash mitts, brushes and various other things. It's soon adds up! But there's one good thing I have a cupboard in the garage full of cleaning stuff, and I won't have to buy any for a long while
