Glass cleaning technique
Glass cleaning technique
I just washed my car, clayed it, and waxed it. During the waxing i accidentally discovered a new way to clean my windows....car wax.
Maybe im not the first one here to notice this... but i waxed my windows (windshield etc) just like the rest of the car... then i buffed it off and the windows were flawless...no streaks, no water spots. 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.

Thanks for the tip. Yes, the window are a royal pain in the butt to clean. I will definitely give your suggestion a try. Thanks!
may i ask what type of wax you used?
I have meguiars hi-tech yellow (mirror gaze line) #26 or something but the wax itself isn't clear so I worry that it may dry and leave a film or residue on windows?!?!

I agree....AIO on the windows does an excellent job and makes my tinted windows highly reflective....

It made the wipers streak real bad. Same goes for Rain-X. I love Rain-X when I first put it on, but it screws up the wipers big time.
