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
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
@@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 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.

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 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 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?
I always clay windows... They collect contanimation like anything else does. Except I don't use clay, I use the synthetic clay mitt because I do a high volume of cars, and its more effiecient for me. Still works very well. Then I top it off with graphene to maximize protection and beadage
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.
Also, clean blades with alcohol than spray RainX on them! They will last much longer help the windshields and save the $50.! Clean windows and wax them!
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
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.
@@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.
@@Alexander_l322 no. I’m sure I could scratch it if I tried but light pressure with an sos pad makes it all look new. Remember it’s Not a good idea for mirrors or chrome. Ask me how I know 😂
@@Formerlywarmer mirrors have an aluminum front surface which can be scratched. This is why there is no ghost image. Old mirrors with silver on the back surface have a ghost image.
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!
Another thing, many times, while applying wax, I just waxed all of the windows and it works excellently. Just like rain-x. Which is also a top-notch product.
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.
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 .
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
Just saying, that sprayway brand glass cleaner you're using will cut through almost anything if you let it sit for a minute or two. I use it on my windshield when I get gas and use the sponge/squeegee to scrub and squeegee it off. I worked in the oilfield for over a decade and that glass cleaner has a 1000 uses. I've use it as hand cleaner, used it to clean up a deep cut I got on a location(you'll definitely feel the burn if you do that), it'll clean paraffin/crude oil off as well. I use it in the house as well. Works great on counter tops and stoves as well
The former owner of my truck went to town with RainX or some other kind of "window protectant". 8 years later, I still can't get that junk off. Not even with a razor blade.

Really guys?!? I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH BUT Your going to say keep it wet dont let it dry, BUT you you said keep fliping your wiper....... WHILE YOU LEFT THE WIPERS ON!!!! Not even cleaning the whole window!!! Let alone the wipers!!

So no more scraping ice in winter !!!!

Use Gtechniq smartglass instead.

it's a fine idea if you use 12,000 grit .
Sure you can, just don't use a belt!
Belt sander with 80 grit. Guaranteed to remove all the rain spots!!!
0000 steel wool
What grade clay do you use for windows?
Try Mr. Clean magic eraser. I use it at least every other wash job.
For glass? I hope it’s not for the paint as well. Magic Eraser is actually a very fine sandpaper
I would be careful of dulling the glass...its like sandpaper. It takes the sheen of gloss paint really quickly.

Absolutely! Usually clay glass before doing the paint.
all those chemicals i use vinegar and water with newpaper then when dry i use turtle wax paste wax,Beauty!!!
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
NEVER, EVER use SOS or BRILLO pads there are much too coarse! Use 0000 or finer wet or dry and you'll be fine!!
Claybar them windows then use some NuFinish polish, thank me later 😉
#0000 steel wool.

I find Rainx is not good for night driving because of the glare
That's what she said can be used SO MANY TIMES here.
I clay mine all the time and is like a brand new windshield everytime
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 !
What spray is this?
'0000' steel wool as a lot cheaper
Fine steel wool works great as well.
Also a buffing tool as well. Works great for getting the crap out of the glass.

Your health will thank you after 10years without gloves
Even when I get a rental car I need to clean the windshield lol.
I just use dish soap when claying
Isn't that cleaner he's using bad for car windows because it's got ammonia?
That's ammonia free sprayway..and ammonia is only bad for aftermarket tint.
Maybe need to put more product no ? 😂
0000 steel wool with glass cleaner for the win
I love using a clay bar on my bumpy windows!!!
Buff off the surface with Steel wool, blow off the steel, wipe down with glass cleaner, add a protective layer of your choice
I see the streaks from the paper towel, but I noticed you finished with a paper towel?
It’s cause it was still dirty when he wiped it with the paper towel first.
Use detail spray much easier then foam
it's how I get water marks off, the windshield cleaners never do anything noticeable for me that regular ass car soap don't do
I don’t even know what you sprayed on it
It's just glass cleaner - Spray Away. You can use windex or even water if you want.
frescura !
basta uma folha de jornal umida com agua !
Just buy a Jeep. You’ll have new windshields on the regular before any buildup can cause any issues.
That IS another option - probably more costly in the log run.

i use glass cleaner and razor blades that i hone on a strop, or, a buffer and compound!
Spray away steel wool in newspaper will do a way better job with less effort
Not going to lift the windshield wipers and clean down there? strange
I clay bar then apply wax.
Almost never have to use wipers
You lived up to your name and went one step beyond 🔥 impressive
Arent paper towels not good nor recommended to wipe down windshields?
I use newspaper and it's the best stuff ever for cleaning glass
I’m guessing this is good for sunroofs too? I f350 has a giant one with water spots.
SOS pads cleans the glass ,wax the windshield inside not the outside
I strip the glass with hot water mixed with dawn and a clay bar.
Does the glass cleaner have to be spray can or can it be sprayer bottle
