windscreen cleaning, inside and out

[JD]

mine just never seems to be that clean anymore, lots of scratches inside and out

any ideas on getting in back to look in top condition?

due to being obsessive about it being clean (the entire car) i have, in all seriousness, thought about replacing the windscreen at some point :S

jamie

tried AG Glass Polish? works for me. Can be used inside as well, iirc.

Could you Clay it Fella?
Then PC it like Folk do on Headlights to remove light scratches

You tried a glass machine polish?

Cleaning the inside gives bad arm ache IIRC.

..and if your using a polish on the inside, polish it before you clean the cockpit as the dust it makes is insane agaisnt a black dash surface.

I think it was Elite Car Car that sold it they did a a review of it on DW looked well but iv not tried it myself.

ive got some AG glass polish . . . but think ill give her a going over with some menzerna IP when she is being made ready for shows this year

PC it with SRP. Using very little product.

If that doesn't work, put a socket through it.

 

[ipodsandguns]

SRP is high in fillers, fillers on glass aint the best fix. Need something with cut.

 

[JD]

menzerna IP

used SRP each time i polish her, on all windows, works a treat on rears and sides, but the front has been bashed with so many stones and grit pieces over the years, it does look a little tired

 

[john.med]

i'm really tempted to put somethin thru mine cos of 96k miles worth of stones... Have almost done it a few times now!

Mines covered in chips and swirl marks. Probally replace it before the winter when it gets cold as it will probally crack.

 

[clio_luke]

mine is the same. i have tried glass polish but it hasn't shifted it, going to give it another go at the weekend. failing that a crack is going to appear.

You won't get a scratch out of glass with a compound - you need some jewellers scratch shizzle.

I asked Mr Autoglass when I spunked his resin in my hole, and he said I needed jewellers shiz. So it be fact.
