Default Best Glass Polish??

Hi peeps, What glass polish's do you use? The AutoGlym car glass polish makes the windows shine lovely but... im damn sick of the powder it leaves everywhere.

What u use that gives the same shine?

Yeah have to agree meguiars and alway use a micro fibre cloth but when you are doing you window put the window down halfway and and clean the top if you dont it looks crap then put it up then do the rest as they say if your going to do it do it right if you need anymore advise just ask me and i will be happy to help you have my own valeting business and love my car to always be as clean as possible aswell

little tip with the autoglym glass polish because thats what i use with th business,

when you put the polish on, do it with a sponge applicator and do the whole window then turn the sponge over and wipe each part of the glass once, that should take about 95% of the polish off, let it haze up then use a good microfibre to take it off, zero dust if you do it this way and it's miles easier to get off the window as well.

hope that helps

As per other Autoglym posts, when using these products a little goes a long way, if you are getting a lot of dust it is possible too mush product is being applied. Using a foam applicator that has been spritzed with water or a quick detailer helps when applying products. The Meguairs foam applicators are good for this sort of thing.

Never thought waxing a windscreen is a good idea.

White vinegar brings mine up a treat.

on ebay you can buy isopropyl alcohol in 1 liter bottles just mix with cooled boiled water and you have a window cleaner/de icer that goes a long long way (just dont drink it) also does a good job as a panel wipe

Use the same as wht Gaz7 said, and I have used a few products in the past, I doubt I will ever need to find another product to replace the Vanilla Moose Glaze.
