Title: Waxing windows..
Post by: jamie_pyrite on 16 July 2009, 12:25

So this is talking hypothetically here..

Technically, could you not wax your windows and buff off well so rain doesn't stay on them? I know it's not a good idea to use car polish on windows as it's not fine enough to cut the glass, but I can't see a problem with wax as long as it's buffed off properly?


Any thoughts on this? I'm tempted to try it!

I have used polish on the side windows in the past but it's generally not recommended.

Recently started using Carlack 68 glass cleaner/sealant. It's bloddy brilliant stuff.

I'm currently using Dodo Juice Orange Crush on my windscreen, makes a huge improvement. I've also got the Carlack system on the girlfriends car, although it is a great product which again makes a huge difference, the only problem we had was that the wipers jumped a hell of alot the first week after application. They have calmed down now though.

So in answer to your question, yes get waxing your windows  :grin:

Excellent, thanks guys! I've got an Orange Crush panel pot sat on my desk so I'll give them a wax tomorrow :)

I could go wax mad and start waxing everything.. I've already given my eee pc a few coats!
