Cleaning Glass
« on: 06 June 2013, 08:04 »
Good Morning,

I am having some trouble getting the inside of my windscreen "crystal clear".
There seems to be some sort of film that my regular cleaner will not remove, it just seems to spread it around and will not polish out.
My usual cleaner is AG fast glass applied with micro fibre cloths.

What products and methods do you guys use for that ultra clean finish?

I look forward to reading your thoughts.

Best Regards

Keith

For best results on glass you'll need to use apc to remove stubborn residues and even get some glass polish if needed, then your normal routine and you should end up with clear glass.

My main go to apc's are Autosmart G101 and Britemax Grimeout, both highly dilutable and very effective. There's others on the market but I've not tried them to be honest as I've never needed to because the above do every job I need them to.
It's up to you at the end of the day but those are my recommended products.

You just have to keep scrubbing at the screen till you generate some friction heat.

On our van I had to use a light cutting compound by hand. The film was that bad but it came off without the need to buy more products.
