Agreed. Stoners Invisible Glass is great stuff. Just used it for the first time today. Easy and effective

BTW, Stoners IG can be found at Walmart or Pepboys (I just picked some up actually). now I'm looking for a local place that carries Aquapel, which is like Rain X but people over at Autopia.org say lasts much longer, on the order of 6 months or so.

Both. I ordered an aerosol can from autopia along with a whole bunch of other products. My supplies were getting low so I ordered one of everything.

I found both at Walmart today, both were also at Pepboys as well. I couldnt decide which one to get, ended up with the spray bottle since it was a couple oz more product. :-)

I've heard good things about eagle 20/20 also, and its also safe on tinted windows. Anyone have any experience with this?

It also worked well on the mirrors. And the glass felt REALLY smooth, just like the paint after waxing. Im never again gonna touch windex.

I just thought i would share, since windows and mirrors are a pain to clean.
i wax my windows everytime i wax the car - your absolutely right, not only is it a great way to clean the windows, but when it rains i don't even need to turn my wipers on cuz the water just flows right off its great!

I have had equally good results with eagle 20/20, stoner's and nxt, but I keep my windows pretty clean already so its hard to tell if one is actually any better than the other. All are tint safe so buy whichever one you can find the easiest, you shouldn't have any issues with any of them. A good tip is to spray the mf and not the glass so you don't get overspray everywhere.

I've used 20/20. It's not bad but not as good as stuff I used to get years ago- Bon Ami. I can't find it around anymore.

I agree. Stoners invisible glass is great. I also heard that you can claybar the window to remove contaminants. I haven't tried that yet. Anyone done this before?

Yes I did it for the first time about two months ago. Best thing I ever did for the glass. Some crap came off even after a good wash. Super smooth shiny finish afterwards. I did all the windows. G/L
