Glass cleaners

[gtstang462002]

I seen a video on YTube and I didnt believe it till I tried it, but wet a Magic Eraser then squeeze all the water out and wipe down the all the glass inside and out and dry with a drying towel. It works just as good if not better than window cleaner.

You do realized that magic eraser it really just 2000-2500 grit sandpaper right.

I use invisable glass cleaner from Walmart and paper towels to clean my glass. Had worked well for the last 15 years.

Query: what's a better way to clean my 2024 GT's windshield? I dislike less than crystal-clean glass. Been using Windex on a micro cloth supported on one of those pivoting paddle-with-a-handle thingees on the interior of the windshield with indifferent results.

Zaino polish makes a cleaner that goes on like wax on the inside and makes the glass literally disappear

If your using the magic eraser dry and using a ton of force then yes it could possibly scratch.

Well.... I would not be happy if I scratched my windshield using a Magic Eraser. I'm not risking trying it. My luck it would...

its not magic like others say you still need to do the 2 towel method to get it perfect but the second towel should be dry and lint free

I use a 50-50 mix of Rubbing Alcohol and Distilled water. Streak free and really cleans. Works great inside and out.

Stoners invisible glass on the inside with the tint etc.

If I have water spots or calcium deposits that I can see on the windshield I use simple Windex but I spray on the BuffGlass cloth and not on the glass so I don't overspray on the paint.

Stoner's. The best there is.

Agreed

Invisible Glass all day!

About glass(not so much about cleaners), anybody else have that splotchy, frosted looking spots all over the back glass? Sometimes way worse than other times sometimes not there at all. I’ve seen it on other cars too. Never on my trucks.

- Glass Cleaning Wand

https://invisibleglass.com/products...WfhMCCHI6z3LSNDzPvVvESY0waatCuP1xmGPHH0hVYScG

- Common Cleaning Towel

Conditions:

- Inside the garage, closed, the vehicle at room temperature

- If inside not possible, early AM, when Sun is low and temps are coolest

Interior Side of Glass:

1. Wrap the dish towel around the head of the cleaning wand.

2. Spray the head with Gyeon or Stoner glass cleaner. Two times or so. You want to dampen the towel, without soaking it. Enough to clean, but not so much streaks of cleaner rest and sit there.

3. With a simple back-and-forth motion, move the wand over the glass, light to moderate pressure.

4. When you sense the glass is cleanest, re-position the towel so the head has a dry portion.

5. Repeat step three. Step five will remove any residue from the glass.

Outside Glass, Post Wash:

If you've just washed the car, you shouldn't need to clean the outside glass. Use a modestly damp towel to wipe the surface of any remaining streaks.

Outside Glass, Touch-up:

In-between washes, the outside surface of the glass can pick up a lot of road grime, exhaust soot, etc.

1. Using either Gyeon's Glass cleaner or Stoners, make an initial pass with the common cleaning towel. A first pass.

2. Using the flour sack cloth, make a final pass with the Gyeon or Stoner's cleaner. Use the same process as described to clean the interior side of the glass.

Stoner's is a great product; I use it on several surfaces and items, not just glass. With outside conditions, materials, etc., Gyeon's works just a touch better for me, especially on the interior side of the vehicle glass.

All tools are being used on tinted glass without issue.

Edit,

The cleaning towels used are only for vehicle glass and nothing else. I have another set of the same towels for cleaning other surfaces or items.

Take the Polarized glasses off.

Lots of good ideas in this thread, the key for interior glass is to get the scum off the glass (many methods have been suggested, use the one that works for you) then use your favorite glass cleaner to clean whatever is left over.

I followed DFB5.0's advice and picked up a waffle towel and indeed it makes a big difference.

Holy shit he’s right! Stupid raybans.
