does anyone treat their windows?
Just curious what people are using on the outside of their front windshields or side windows
|
For the side windows, Stoners Invisible Glass. The windshield, I get as much as I can, but usually just hit it with RainX when I'm driving.
|
Another vote for Stoner's Invisible Glass for cleaning and then a treatment with Rain X :thumbsup:
|
Stoners is good, another vote but I do alternate from Stoners, to SprayWay....and PoorBoys SW.

On occasion, though, I like to treat my windows to a nice night out, some champagne, and a romantic evening by the beach...:lol: |
They get clay bared when I clay (front window was the second dirtiest spot for the clay on the entire truck when I did the first detail on it), and polished and waxed when I polish and wax - then it's up to meg's gold class soap and meg's ultimate detailer from there on out. Window cleaner never sees the outside of my windows - I like the never need windshield wipers in the rain effect of the wax and ultimate detailer (makes it alot easier to maintain too). Same thing goes for my lights.

For those of you who are fans of WD-40:
DO NOT USE ON GLASS!!! It causes problems trying to remove a petroleum based product off a non-porus surface... RP Said so not too long ago... Since the WD 40 thread came about, I just thought I would put that out there for ya'll. |
Keep them rainx'd fairly often.
|
I'll add a vote for the Stoners.
While Rain-x is in the discussion here, thought I might ask... whats the best method to apply it? I use the "all-in-one" kit I guess you could call it. Its a little hand-held dispenser, one end is the applicator, the other end stores a soft cloth for the removal part. The problem I'm having is the glazing even after I sit there for a while and clean the stuff off. |
Keep rubbing buddy:thumbsup: Try not using so much X
|
I just use a microfiber cloth, and Windex...maybe I'm doin' it wrong but I think it works pretty well. Once clean I use rain-x as well.

My preferred method is the washer fluid variant. It never streaks, and gives me on demand performance.

Heres what I do
Examine Wash Clay Polish Glaze Wax Wax-2nd coat Buff Heat up with a hair dryer Glaze again Wax again Examine Take a ziplock full of ice and rub over the glass Polish to a shine again Then as the finishing seal, I mix 1/3 distilled water 1/3 sheep urine and 1/3 tear from a crocodile Works for me |
WTF is the "ziplock full of ice" for? That is pretty hardcore for just the windshield. CRICKEY I just read the last line...Funny guy huh? I heard gator spit works better than croc tears

A word of caution about Rain-X. While it is a nifty product and I've used it myself, we had to have a chip fixed in my husbands truck a few years ago. The glass guy couldn't get the adhesive to stick. He asked my husband if he'd used Rain-X or a similar product. He said that if you apply it over a chip in the glass, it will seep down inside the chip and when you try to get it fixed the stuff won't stick (kinda what Rain-X does! :lol: ) They finally got it to stick but said they couldn't guarantee the repair. I guess the moral would be...if you get a chip, have it fixed before you apply the next coat of Rain-X!
