Glass Cleaner Recommendations Please..
« on: 20 February 2017, 16:06 »
Right girls and boys I'm currently using Gtechniq G6 Perfect Glass for my windows but I'm getting low so need to either get another bottle or try something else. The G6 is fantastic stuff but is there anything out there that peeps feel is better..?

Am I missing out on something ect...? I've done a search on here and Rebecca mentions Clarity Glass Cleaner. Is this better..?

What are peeps using on there windows..?

Thanks

Can't go wrong with Gtechniq G6 Perfect Glass or Autoglym Fast Glass IMO.  For me G6 just edges it over Fast Glass but only just. G6 is my go-to glass cleaner but I have been trying out some products (on another forum) for a company called Obsessive Detail and their Clarity Streak Free Glass Cleaner is excellent too. http://www.obsessivedetail.co.uk/clarity-windows-300ml

Very easy to apply and wipe off, I've had great results with it.   Bit cheeky but here's a link to a review of it I did elsewhere.  http://www.vwroc.com/forums/topic/16505-obsessive-detail-user-review-of-6-products/?p=274130

IME any of the 3 glass cleaners above will do the job very well.

So after reading your review and seeing the pics I decided to take the plunge and order the 500ml bottle.

Sent via Royal 2nd Class so should be here in a couple of days, but again i won't be using it on the 6. :grin:

I like using Stoner Invi Glass Cleaner. Just spray it on the glass and buff off using an MF towel.

Shamless plug here but a decent glass cloth makes the difference too:-
